City County Have No Authority To Buy Site For New Hospital
State senator D Kenneth McLaughlin says county and city governments lack authority to spend funds for a new state hospital site in Washington County. He plans to raise the issue with the Maryland Legislative Council, noting the hospital costs including land and architects are to be state funded. Local residents threaten court action if local governments spend money on a site, while the state department favors the Holzapfel tract, requiring buyups for access. The final decision rests with the Maryland Board of Public Works led by Governor McKeldin.
