A selection of the hospital site has been a much argued subject since the hospital bond issue. The informant said he feels like the site selected will be on Pooie Road at the south end of Peartree Lane. He further added that he thinks this will be the site that will be most satisfactory to the people in south and east Wake County, as well as the doctors in Raleigh. Right now, he said, this site is easily accessible and will be more so when the belt line is built around Raleigh. The new fu ture belt line will skirt this prop erty he said. He stated that he feels this is the happy solution for everybody concerned. Something definite will be forth coming soon he said, possibly with in the next 10 days or two weeks.
