Says It Could Lead The Town To Bankruptcy Mayor George Franklin Blalock, Welding to the advice of top ex perts in the field of city manag ement and finances, today urged local citizens to give up the idea of the proposed $2,070, 000 cify cperated hospital rather than un dertake a project that could bank rupt the <own financially. The mayor’s statement came to day as Chairman Myres Tilghman of the Betsy Johnson hospital toard of trustees prepared for a loint meeting tonight of the hos pital board with members of the city council and other leaders Mayor Blalock said he had writ ten Mr. Tilghman he would be unable to attend due to a prior engagement in Durham. He em phasized he was by no means boycotting the meeting. Members of the hospital board have agreed on the Casper Tarf site and belief had been expres sed that all differences could be resolved tonight. Just bactc from the annaul meet ing of the League of Municipali ties, the mayor said he consulted city officials, specialists in finan ces and administration from across the State and that all were un animous against any municipality undertaking the operation of a hospital. Only one town in the entire State does so. He said he was also basing his decision on unexpected govern ment demands which will entail a far greater outlay of town funds than had teen expected and also on the fact that the town’s total tax valuation turned out to be five million dollars short of ex pectations. “All these factors combined,” he said, “would mean a tax bill so unduly burdensome as to be intolerable for citizens and could jeapordize the financial solvency of the town.’’ He said the 26 cents approved to pay off the bonds and another 25 cents authorized for opera tion could raise the town’s tax rate to ndt less than $1.53 and as high as $2.01 per hundred dollars valuation as compared with the present tax rate of only $112. He said interest on the tiwn’s share of $550,000 of the money would test the taxpayers right at $364,500 in interest. County re-valuation of property takes place every 7 years under law and this - could Increase 'the cost to each taxpayer.
