But in this matter of the census figures in Washington and Beaufort county the figures Are so obviously wrong that we feel this approach is justified and necessary. The preliminary census figures list the population of the City of Washington at 8,633 in i960 census the official figures for Washington Are listed at 9,939. In a special census taken in 1966 the official figures for Washington Are 10,175 thus from the above figures Washington has lost 1,542 people since 1966. That just is not so two Days ago on wednesday june 17, the total paid circulation of the Washington daily news was 7,834. Within the City limits of Washington the daily news was delivered to 2,474 family units. It is indisputably known that there Are 4.2 persons per family unit in this area. Thus if we Divide the preliminary census figure of 8,633 by 4.2, we figure that according to the census there Are Only 2,056 family units in Washington. Thus the daily news in paid circulation on last wednesday was delivered to 418 More family units in the City than the census Bureau says we have. That is an impossible situation the Dally news Only claims to be going into 90 l percent of the Homes in the City. And that is among the highest percentages in North Carolina. On the basis of our circulation we should have around 2,750 family units living in the City. If we multiply 2,750 by 4.2, we say that within the City limits of Washington we have around 11,550 peo p l e. In i960 the total paid circulation of the daily news was less than 5,000 today it is approaching 8,000 a newspaper just does not increase circulation in that amount in the face of a declining population. It just cannot be done in 1960 the Beaufort county official population was 36,014. The preliminary figure gives us now 34,641, a loss of 1,373. Yet in this 10 year period we have had Texas Gulf Sulphur company come Here. We have had Hamilton Beach Flanders filters with to. And we have had several Industrial firms enlarge their operations. V talk about increased pm see census Page 101 Hospital expense should be Public Raleigh apr the executive director of the North Carolina Hospital association says Hospital services costs should be shared by All citizens. Marion Foster told a one Man subcommittee of the local government study commission thursday that people who can afford to pay their own Hospital Bills Are in a a double jeopardy situation. He said that when they pay their own Bills they usually Are helping pay hospitalization for indigent patients because a government at All Levels is not supplying sufficient funds to do the health services Foster said should be available to All people regardless of their ability to pay however that a a does not mean a he added a that hospitals and other providers of these services should be forced to charge those who Are Able to pay at rates which will underwrite not Only the Cost of their own services but also the serv ices to those unable to Foster appeared before Kenly mayor Gilbert Whitley a one Man subcommittee looking into the governments role in Quot personal services a such As health hospitals and welfare. Meanwhile or. Ronald Levine of the state Board of health told Whitley it is a a imperative a that the 1971 general Assembly appropriate More state funds to support local health services in the states 100 counties. Levine director of the boards Community health division said a county government is now contributing a full 85 per cent of the Cost of operation of local Public health services. Only years ago state funds a Ltd for More than 26 per the or. James Osberg Eastern regional commissioner for the North Carolina department of mental health said Many smaller poorer counties have difficulty raising local Matching funds for mental health programs. I Only m Mccoum yet of Washington api a Secretary of Imbor George p Shultz says probably will climb above the 5 per cent rate recorded in May the highest monthly figure since 1965 the prediction came in Shultz first interview since he was named by president Nixon to head a new White House super Agency the office of manage ment and budget the change is due july 1.
