Piedmont Sp.irtgs As a Hospital Siie
T!:e that Piedmont S])i'ii\i»s
be .-'eiected as a site for the proposed
Stokes couiit.v hospital is attracting con
siderable interest.
There a:-e a number of reasons why
this well known and popular spot would
be very appropriate for the location.
First, Piedmont Springs is very near
the center of the county, even nearer
than Danbury. And locating the insti
tution at or near the center of the coun
ty is a very vital consideration, as it
ought to be closest to all the people of
the county.
Second, Piedmont is on highway No.
89, while it is now practically assured
that a new hardsurface road will soon be
built loading from Piedmont west by the
Hanging Pock park and on to other
P-lints in the western section of the
county. Already Piedmont is in direct
or indirect connection by hardsurfaje
with nearly all other townships.
Third, Piedmont would have a most in
calculable advantage in being at the
source of one of the finest mineral
springs in the State, whose curative
properties are widely recognized in the
beneficial treatment of many diseases.
Fourth —It is proposed, we are inform
ed, that part of the money,-which is to be
the cost of the county hospital, is expect
ed to be raised by private subscription,
much of which has already been pledg
ed. The total cost is estimated at more
than $200,000. On reasons of sentiment,
some of the wealthiest citizens of the
State are attached to old memories of
Piedmont Springs, who are well ac
quainted with it and who have spent in
the past with their families and friends
many pleasant hours at this resort.
A number of these could reasonably 1 e
exnected to contribute to the building of
a great health center at Piedmont
Sprintrs.
i'kvlmoi'.t Springs ho.-pital site is situ
ated n a noble elevation, is ideal) '
drained, and is in sight of and near t »
some of the most attractive scenery of
the mountain, such as would be promo
tive of beneficial influence for the so
who are sick or convalescent.
The Reporter is informed that the Tay
lor family who are owners of the Pied
mont property would probably donate
the site to the county in this greatest
public enterprise.
