Hospital Reorgan By JOHN SLADE rl V"' ; nmmmrtMirw , County Commissioner Neal Bedinger had commended - the Forsyth County Hospital Authority Monday night for turning an initial $5 million investment from the county into a $100 million business. Why, then, asked attorney Richard Archia, speaking to the county commis? sioners on behalf of the Rev. C.E. Green, would the (tAlintv r>rtnei/4ap tranef???in? J " county to a holding company? "The transfer (of the deed) - whether by lease or purchase ~ is the transfer of a $100 miUion business," said Archia, who said that he not only represented Green, but voiced the sentiments of black citizens throughout Forsyth County.

I Of the $35 million earmarked for use inthe package,_l the city is requesting $23 million and the county another $12 million - $7.5 million to partially finance the 1 reorganization of the city-county schools and $4.5 million for the expansion of Forsyth Technical Institute. The city would use the majority of its portion, $15 million, to expand the Benton Convention Center to attract more visitors. The rest would be used to "finance an industrial park," arrnrriing tn a brochure distributed by the pro-referendum Citizens' Committee For Jobs And Education Referendum, "that could create 4,000 new jobs, ... significant downtown improvements to draw in provements for neighborhoods adjacent to downtown."
