Increased Grants a Step Forward in Hospital Matter
Municipal doctor Dr L Rubin says with on hand funds pledges and government grants the town can establish a hospital. Government grants now 2000 per bed with 3000 from Manitoba Wheat Pool and local funds about 12000. A 10 bed hospital could reach about 32000 to 35000 with grants. Extra earnings from Rivers and good 1949 rural crop conditions may yield more funds in another canvass.
