Uintah county to have a county hospital
The Commercial club drives a movement to establish a county hospital after an officials meeting with Drs Cruikshank and Christy. A 1917 Utah law allows a special election if 20 percent of resident taxpayers sign petitions. The plan calls for a two mill tax for up to twenty years to fund site purchase and construction with non-discriminatory access and patient choice of physicians. Aiming to serve county residents with hospital care and nursing, the effort proceeds with Red Cross support.
