A meeting has been called for
Monday night, January IS, in
the court house in Kinston at
which ttene everyone interest
ed in future hospital -construc
tion in Lenoir County is urged
to attend and be heard on' which
ever side they feel best for the
county. This meeting is a re
sult of suggestions made last
Friday night when the Lenoir
County Commissioners, the Le
noir Memorial Hospital Board of
Trustees and the hospital build
ing committee met to discuss
the next step facing the county
on this vital question in view of
the recent decision by the Su
preme Court.
In this meeting those who
have fought for a New Hospital
on a New Site were asked what
they specificcaly wanted done
and their answer was in sub
stance this: "
Let the people of the coun
ty, who will pay the bill, vote
on tyo propositions: l.To pro
vide adequate funds up to at
least $1,000,000 for a complete
ly new hospital on a new and
expandable site or Z. To pro
vide adequate monies by vote
of the people to complete
the renovation of Memorial
General Hospital as Originally
nlnnned. .>,^4 f
irchitect for the ^Medical
Care Commission told the group
last, Friday night that some over
$003,000 would be needed to
renovate the presept site and
expend It to a atandard'135r-bed

_ __JPep be,
given an opportunity to “say
his piece” and hear both sides
of the argument which they
have been denied since the local
semi-daily Free Press has con
sistently refused to print all of
•the facts and has twisted and
lied even with the few facts
that it felt the public “ought
to have” this Monday night
■meeting is being held. «
It has been pointed out
wrongfully by this talleged
“Free” Press that there is only
one step possible and “only one
step under consideration.” This
is not the truth as voiced by
County Attorney Tom White at
the Friday night meeting who
read from the Supreme Court’s
decision and advised the gath
ering that there were three pos
sibilities' and that it was to the
couny commissioners to choose
between.those three: 1. To drop
the entire matter of county-fi
nanced, hospital construction. 2.
To go ahead and build as much
as possible with the $465,000 au
thorized by the voters of the
county and judged proper to
spend by the Supreme Court. 3.
To offer “another or other”
bond issue to the people so that
they might complete the Me
morial General renovation or
issue bonds sufficient to build a
completely new hospital on a
completely new site.
This view, that thebe were
three alternatives open to the
county commissioners, was shar
ed and voiced by Leo Harvey,
who was present at this meet
ing also and expressed himself
in that manner.
The “Free” Press refused to
report with integrrity this
meeting, as. it has refused to
treat with integrity other facts
connected to this all-lmporant
hospital matter and at a price of
$104.64 per page those who want
