Grady A rumor has been going tions of the county that the Sampson County Hos- ' pital is losing money rapidly: One' story is that the hospital is already in the red by ($72;000.) ' V We called Mr. Jim De Vane, administrator of the hospital yesterday and he said the rumor was fan . tastically absurd. Mr. DeVane said they were well h pleased with the financial status of the hospital, in ; fact, he said, they are not nearly as much in the t red as was anticipated for this length of time of op eration. Actually they are in the red about $18,000 he said and are rapidly moving into the black. The A Sampson hospital has 100 beds and Duplin will have ,:vV- only 50. .f.&:-: " y-'iy-) ( :' v.v; ''" ' ; ' i Comparing this with the anticipated deficit of the ; Duplin hospital, we find that the amount in arrears j in the Clinton hospital today amounts to slightly : i . more than what Duplin is now paying out for public . and charity hospitalization, about $15,000, of which i , a good portion is going to the Clmton hospital ? v A check on the Franklin County hospital,1 which? is the same size plant proposed in Duplin, reveals ' f that they levied only 2 l-2c tax rate for operation ' " I in the beginning. The hospital has been operating J only since last spring .and in "August 1 they onlyii . showed a deficit of $7000 and expected to be in the ; clear before the first of the gears' . ; Remember the cost 9! the proposed hospital to f ; -the taxpayer will not exceed lTCents per hundjped ' ' J : that is 8 cents for mamtenanceand- 9 centsjor con1 ' structicn. is almost a will not! be levied, but i have $1000 Worth of property it will cost you only s ; ; $1.70 for the first year.. The construction tax of 9 . ; cents reduces l-20th each year and Will be elimin-" i ated at the end of 20 years. Some , folks say that ,' I f once a tax is levied it never will bg taken off . This" ; is not true with the Hospital tax. Moneys collected ; for this purpose cannot be diverted or spent for any other purpose therefore when the hospital is ;v paid for the tax automatically eliminates itself. .1 . Another question going the"rOunds regards gov , ernment regulation of control of the hospital. The AAMtfV VMM .1U.VVA WUg , W .V , iw Hospital Association specifications. After it is com pleted and turned over to the operating group the State nor Federal government has anything further to do with the operation of the hospital or the build- ; ; - ings. The property belongs explusively to the peo-f - 5 ? pie of Duplin County and no one else has anything ; -T'todo withit. - v lr!;$$h,$. -m'. . What have we to lose? Should the hospital fail, j which it will not,' the county will have a million . ..f dollars worth of Buildings that will not have cost v J-iJ us a quarter million dollars. . - ' ' s ' , This may be Duplin's last chance to get a hos- pital, and surely its last chance to get one almost . i given to us. Hospitals operate in counties surround- ' ' .,. tag us without burden on( the people.llf Sampson, i ' - Pender, Onslow, Wayne, Lenoir, and we understand , i Jones is now building,' can! afford to bwri, and sue-" , ' cesfully operate a hospital Duplin County can do t : i : it. We are just as able and just as capable of operat ;, t tag a hospital as are our neighbors and surely 41,000 - f ' people in a growing county needs one.': Let's not j , wake up tomorrow folks and discover the folly pf "y our .ways if we should fail to vote for this" hospital. : One more point, should we vote for it the total' ' debt of the county will be no more than it was f iye ? years ago when , we were carrying the load with a $1.50 tax, rate.
