BROTHER BURIED Cary Augustus Privott, 46, of Edenton. died Sunday- He was a brother of Mrs. Mary Roy of Lil lington. Funeral services were held this afternoon. Mayor land” “It would be better to hold it up for five years than to mlslocate it and shackle our town with in an intolerable financial burden for years to come. I’m thinking of the future, not just about right now.” declared Blalock. The mayor warned that, “It’s al ready clear that this hospital is going to cost the taxpayers a lot more than anybody had any idea of and unless we locate it so that it Will be accessible to the county, we can’t expect any help with it.” “This thing is too big, too im portant for such a mistake to be made,’’ he continued. “In fact, it’s almost too big an undertaking for a town the size of Dunn.” Showdown Near Mayor Blalock made his state ment today as a showdown neared in the controversy which has been raging here for over a month. Aft"” several sites were inspected by the State Medical Care Com mission. one in Lakeside Village, offered free of charge by Dunn En terprises, was approved by the hos pital board and submitted to the town council. A majority of the council mem bers reportedly were ready to ap prove the Lakeside site, but the mayorbloeke d the move until two sites on the west side of town were inspected. He announced yesterday that Mrs. McKay’s site had been found very satisfactory by Medical Care As soon as formal notification is received from Medical Care, Chair man Myres Tilghman and members of the hospital board will meet to reaffirm their preference of the Lakeside site or to recommend an other. It will then be up to the city council to make the final choice. Even the hospital board is split on the choice, declared Blalock. He said the best he can learn Chairman Tilghman, Wash Ban rerman, Henry H. Sandlin, George CarroU and Dr. Clarence L. Cor bett favor the Lakeside location, while Dr, Ralph Johnson, Louis Baer, Marvin Raynor and Raymond Cromartie favor the west side.

He quoted Sect. William Hend erson of Medical Care as stating at a meeting here last week that one of the chief aims of his com mission is to locate the hospital where most people want it since public support is absolutely man datory. Controversy Normal "Mr. Henderson told me,” said j Blalock, “that he’s not concerned | about the controversy, that there’s j- usually a controversy in every town or county over a location, but that doesn’t enter into the picture.” Blalock said he was pointing this out to refute the claim that the local dispute over a site is hurting the town’s chances of getting sup port from Medical Care and Hill Burton funds. "They’ve made just about every claim,” charged Blalock, who was visibly aroused. “They’ve had the playihg politics, they’ve personally insulted me. slurred me. reflected on my integrity and honor. But even that doesn’t bother me: my obligation and my responsibility is to the people.” ‘They’ve tried to make people think that they’re aloof of poli tics,” charged Blalock, "but who do they think they’re kidding? The minute they asked the town to take over the hospital, they put it in politics, "And they kept it In poli- : tics when they asked support of public officials, and support of the taxpayers in a bond issue” “There’s nothing wro-.g with poli ties,” continued the mayor, “as long as you play the game openly and fairly. But when they adopted a resolution withdrawing their hospi tal offer to the town at one point in a political tactic against me, that was going too far.” i "It was also going too far when two officials of the hospital board held a secret meeting with three members of the city council to try to get policies adopted more con ducive to private operations than public, operation*!' And' It was go ing tob far when ond of‘-■their re presentatives threatened to post pone the whole hospital project un til they could elect another mayor next year because I had the cour age to stand up and oppose them.” Will Cost More The mayor said it is already ob vious that operation of the hospi tal is going to cost a lot more than expected. For one thing, he said, I—-- ---— Henderson had told him that the staff would have to be employed and the hospital put into full op eration before a single patient admitted in order to secure ap proval. "Such things as that cost mon ey. too,” he reminded. He also pointed out that when citizens voted for the hospital they agreed to a 25 cents increased levy for operation of the hospital and also agreed {or bonds to be issued to pay the town’s portion of the cost.” “I do not intend for taxes to be raised anymore than necessary,” declared Blalock. "And in order to avoid this. It is obvious we are go ing to have to get help from the county especially on future expan sion and we can’t get that help by locating the hospital in one ex treme end of the county instead of puling it on the other side of town where it would be more accessible to citizens from every section of Harnett” The patients from Johnston and Sampson come to the present hos pital on the west side. They will I’ome to the new one on the west. | We must also cultivate and seek out the complete support of all people in Harnett County. The mayor said it could he made into a county medical center and that assistance from the county w!,l be required. "I don’t intend to go out of of fice and pass on such a burden to my successor.” said Blalock. “I don’t operate that way. By the time the new hospital has been operated a few years, every member of the present hospital board will have completed his term and gone off. But town government and town taxes have to go on.” The mayor was critical of the fact that two of the owners of Dunn Enterprises attended the meeting with Medical Care repres entatives last week “in an attempt to sell them on their site.” “I don’t know if they were In vited or not. but they had no busi ness there.” The mayor said one of them Mr. O. W. Godwin, Sr., took digs at'him in his remarks "in bringing up points that offered nothing new or construe'ive, things that I was already well aware of and threw off on me in front of a large crowd. My name wasn’t called, but it was obvious by his look at me and re marks as to whom he was referring to.” Recalling that he was the only member of the city council who really got out and worked for the hospital, In public statements and In two radio speeches, Blalock said: ‘‘Yet. two or three times Tv* had them stick their finger at me and ask, “George, did you really vote for the hospital?’ I consider ed it a personal insult. Everybody knows I worked for it and voted for it; I’m no hypocrite and people who know me know that I’m not.” The mayor said, “I’m getting tired of such abuse as this and I don’t intend to take any more of it. The people know that I’m on their side; they know my position is the only logical one the mayor of this town could or ought to take, and I don’t intend to move from that position.” “I’ll sacrifice reelectlon if I have to, but in years to come my insis tence on the westside location and my previous insistence on public matters will be vindicated,” con cluded the mayor. Two Couples Are Divorced Two couples were granted di vorces in Harnett Recorder’s Court. Alfred Gregory Card was given n divorce from Annie Willard Card on grounds of two years separation and Maxine Barbour Moore was given a divorce from William Arthur Moore on grounds of adultery.
