Two -'weekfi ago a finani iat state
ment of the condition of the county
Was- published, and in that statement,
unler appropriationSi the Haywood
f'nuntv Hospital was put -down for
$1.150.00.
While the figures were correct . in
every way, it has been pointed out by
county ollicials that the $12.1f0 was
not an amount that hail been raised
by taxation for the .support of the in
stitution, but merely the estimated
amount of money necessary for oper
ating the hospital, for one year.
While the report did not show in
detail the different sources of revenue,
it was given out vesterdav bv county
auditor.' T. J. Cathey, that $:H .(((
would be derived from sources oth
er than by taxation. The total tax
lew for the hospital for this vear is
$13,470. Of this amount $7,0G"U7
has been paid for bond maturities and
interest, and leave.s a cash balance
on hand of $9,066.45.
Instead of operating on money de
rived from taxes, the hospital actu
ally has a cash balance on hand of
more than $9,000.
