A detailed plan argues the present General Hospital is inadequate and costly to modernize. It advocates a new 200-bed facility with seven heating systems, better layout, and improved maternity, kitchens, and storage. Financing would be modest for city taxpayers, with long-term benefits for residents and industry.
A local survey shows broad support for a proposed 200 bed hospital with no tax increase, while a single taxpayer opposed. The NEWS reports 46 property owners’ responses, noting council support for a 43 mill tax ceiling and endorsement from business groups, with final results pending a potential two thirds vote.
The transportation manager states extensions for the new hospital depend on patronage but the team is ready to cover. Two buses will be in service next fall with a route east of the area to support the hospital location as soon as required.
Fragmentary OCR text hints at residential flats and a view related transfer. The readable items suggest a property or ownership change but lack concrete details, dates, or names to specify parties, locations, or outcomes.
