HOSPITAL BIDS RECEIVED
Bids have been received by the
Building Committee of St. Luke’s
Hospital for the new wing which
will be added to the existing
structure. It has been found that
the original estimate of $150,000
will not be sufficient due to in
creased costs of labor and mater
ials. This, fact, plus certain ex
tras which have been found neces
sary, due to increased costs of
operation, will probably make the
final costs somew-here in the vicini
ty of $175,000. The architects
are now busv negotiating and re
designing according to our pres
ent pocketbook and needs.
The announcement was made by
C. D. Stevens, hospital board
president.
The North Carolina Medical
Care Commission, which, under
the Hill-Burton Act, will bear
71.1% of the new wing’s cost, has
agreed to permit a 15% increase
in the building cost on the basis
of present plans, “due to the
Korean war”, and will thus con
tribute that percentage. Under the
sharing plan embodied in the Hill
Burton Act the local share of the
hospital’s new wing cost will be
27.9%.
This communitv’a share of the
originally projected cost of ap
proximated $42,000 but due to
+he increased costs as indicated
in the bids received, the local
share will be at least $50,000',
with the NCMCC assuming the
balance of the obligation, expected
to be at least $122,000.
To date, $30,000 has been con
tributed locally. It will therefore
be necessary to receive approxi
mated double that figure because
