THURS., OCT. 11,
Duplin County has to pay
only 22.6 percent of the total
cost of a County hospital. The
State will pay 33.4 per cent of
the cost, and Federal Funds
will pay 44 per cent of the cost.
Translating- these percentages ,
' Into dollars and cents, this
means that for a 50 bed Jios .
pltal, a Nurses' .Home and a
Health Center costing a total
, of $943,000, the Federal Gov.
eminent will give the County
$414,920). th State will con .
tribute $314,962; and Duplin
County will Invest $213,118.
To meet the payments en the
Hospital Bonds it Is estimated
that approximately a 9c tax .
rate will be necessary (on the
present valuations) for the first
few years,' and as bonds are
paid off this rate will reduce.
