I: THE DUPLIN COUNTY HOSPITAL' OME MISUNDERSTOOD IDEAS J ' "From resorts rMfhinc.tr.0 fir. . 4'. jt iA-.vo ViiCiC ! . j. are a: number of misunderstood ideas prevalent j ' about the proposed Duplin County hospital. It seems j Is. the general public does not understand 'd-xtifirtv J i j what will be expected of . ; support and otherwise.' un luesday, November 6th, the voters Gf Duplin . County will be called on to vote for or against a i county hospital. Two questions will be posed on the v , ballot and if the voter is in favor of the hospital he j , should check the square "yes" beside each question. : I' The first question authorizes the county to issue f uuiius, noi to exceed $20u,uuu, loTi the purpose of 'building and furnishing the hospital. The second ' .'authorizes the county to levy a " tax not to exceed ; o cenis ior tne purpose of completing the, furnish ings and to guarantee its operation- . ' ' . The whole picture in a nut shell is this. It is pro posed to build a county hospital of 50 beds, an ade quate nurses home , and a Duplin Health Center. ; The hospital will be' so constructed t that ..more rooms may be added later as thgy become necessary. t The entire project is' to cost $943,000. Of this ,amount the Federal government' pays $414,920, the State government pays' $314,962 and Duplin County pays only. $213,118. In other .words Duplin pays only 22.6 per cent of the cost of the entire project and the state and federal governments pay $729,882 or 77.4 per cent. A report has gotten around that Duplin County taxes will increase 22.6 per cent. This is entirely, a misunderstanding. The tax rate ior construction purposes ' will not exceed nine (V) cents, and for operations, eight (8) cents, or a total of 17 cents. It is very likely that this much tax will not be levied. 1 . ' v - ! We have to vote the commissioners, authority to - levy up to this amount in order to secure state and federal aid, however in a number of counties inves tigated they did not , levy the maximum, For ex ample, Wayne County had left over $200,000 from their hospital project so the bonds were not issued nor the tax levied. Franklin' County which built ' , the same size hospital .as proposed in Duplin, had- v to levy only a 2 1-2 cent tax for operations.' It will I oe notea mat jjupiin s expenditure calls for $213,- 118 and a bond issue of $250,000 is asked The i Wayne County results above explains this. wV ask ; , for more than is anticipated so -as to be absolutely, , in.deaMalcase'.bmlding costs"shduli i'dy'f. ' .Shoot up. - ; , ' : Now in terms, of the tax dollar. If the commicdon' ; j ers levy the maximum of 17 cents it cannot eat the v ' taxpayer over $1.70 per thousand dollar vslr-tion; v, or 17 cents per hundred dollar Vajjation. If you .', ;: are fortunate enough to own $10,000 worth cf prop eny you wm omy pay these bonds are issued in f , be paid off at the end of . .. ml. 1 . 1...' i mieresv 4.ne dohos decrease one tentn every two years. As the bonds decrease the interest decreases -and the special tax levy wIU decrease also. Monevs " derived from this tax levy absolutely, under law, , cannot be used for any other purpose- The cost to the taxpayer was iUustrate'd !v,cry," good -the other, day when the second largest taxpayer in .Wolfe scrape township said that one football Jrip, would 1 cost him more than the hospital tax for one year. , It is interesting to note also that, if the county-' . votes these bonds and .builds a hospital our total bonded-indebtedness will not be any more than it was five years ago and we were carrying it then -with a $1.50 tax load. . i .
