DAVIS FINDS WAYNESVILLE HOSPITAL PAYING INSTITUTION The following telegram was re- 1 reived from j. W. S. Davis, chair- 1 man of the County Board of Com missioners, relative to the hospital at Waynesville, which was built by Haywood county under the same plan which Cherokee will decide in I the election June lltli: At the request of members of the county hoard of health and county commissioners* and for mv own sat isfaction I hnv#? looked into the ad ministration of the Havwood Coun ty Hospital and find that tne first year wa? operated 'it a profit of six teen hundred dollars to Haywood county. This hospital is aided hy the Duke Foundation Fund in th^ same manner that the Cherokee County Hospital w*n he. provided the election foi the hospital carries next month. [ fee! the hospital in Cherokee with the aid of the Duke Fund can be operated with but very little expense if any from the coun tv. I do know that a larpe sum that is now being spent for hospitaliza tion and treatment of charity cases and subjects of the county could be reduced if treated in our own hospi tal. Excntually every county in the ?-late will own its own hospital and to defeat it now will only be an ad ded expense as it would only be a fhort time until the County Com missioners would be forced to call cnother election which would cost Cherokee county approximately fif teen hundred dollars.
