This re quest was followed, but recent vents seem to require that the statements of Or. Brinn be pre sented to the citizens for their information. At the request of Chairman D, M. Jackson and Joe Nowell, a memer, he submitted to them the following terms of purchase of The Hertford Clinic and Hotel Hertford properties and later appeared before the committee assembled and resubmitted the same agreement of sale and the seasons as to why It would be money saving to the County. : The Agreement: K- To sell to the County or Medi cal Facility Authority the build ug now occupied by the Hert ford Clinic. 118 West Market Street, the purchase price to be determined as follows: ' An independent group of buil aets men whose knowledge of local building and building sites 's satisfactory to all parties involved, shall make a fair ap praisal of the actual value of the property stated above. After such u appriasal, the price asked by O. T. P. Brinn and MaVv G. Brinn shall be this appraisal value 'less $10,000 or 35" per cent,- whichever is the greater amount. ' - .The above property will be sold In association with the icfel Hertford Property which tes 78 feet fronting on Market JtreH7257 feet along OieUapi m side, 80 feet back width wd 287 feet on the East side, i addition this lot would In slide the use of a 20 foot drive way extending the length of the ot which Is Jointly owned by he' .

I -The advantages of such a pur chase were outlined as follows: Present building Is of good instruction, built to accommo ate two doctors, and has been ept in good repair. It has more loor space and accommodations 5an the existing busy two artner arrangement In the new ledlcal Faculty In Elizabeth My.

Con duction of this addition and re iodellng of the building would 8a great saving over all new strucUon. The planned addi on roughly doubles the existing oor space. ,-.,:. "According to this plan there 3iild be adequate parking space, 5 y 80 ft. between the new ildlng and the driveway, joint- owned with the Baptist Church, i the back of the lot, a space proximately 178 by 80 is avail ie. tor parking.

The central location would also be next to Darklna- space on the east of the property, and, is within one block of -other town parking lots. - This site Is adequate in size for the establishment of all the modern Medical and Diagnostic Facilities that the people of Peratdmans County will need or can afford to staff with Doc tors in any forseeable future. The construction of a hospital for Perquimans County has been repeatedly discouraged by the Medical Care Commission in Balelgh. the final authority on needs of such construction. It compares in area with the present Edenton Clinic which has a staff of five doctors, orwith the space used by any four or five doctors in the new Medical facility in Elizabeth City. The site is in the center of the County, it's most populated area, and is in convenient proxi mlty to the largest business activity in the County. It has adequate light, water and sewage facilities. It has the best fire and police protection thai the County and Town can afford. : It ispartofthealready existing area that contains all of the complements of a large shopping center, namely; drug store, Den tal office, Optometrist's office, department stores, novelty. stores, hardware stores, rural ture stores, savings and Loan office, insurance offices, bank, Municipal and office. An added consideration is the fact that Dr. Brinn expects to continue to practice medicine m Hertford, and would pay a fair rent for the use of the of fice during that time which may elapse before the Medical Pro curement Committee is success ful in securing new physicians, or wnen a group practice may be organized. In recent Interview Dr. Brinn stated that for the past 8 years he has unsucessfully tried to secure association with other doctors eltherby salary alonsor a combination ' of salary and partnership. For the past 2 years the load has been very heavy, but he has continued to practice in order to hold all of the Medi cal practice that he could for any succeeding . Medical practice group. For once his patients se cure other physician care It will be that much loss to any new practice attempting to set up here. Dr.- Brinn stands willlngl to continue this effort. Dr. Brinn feels that his offer is sound from a common sense viewpoint and from a business standpoint It Is most generous, ana win ne a saving in aouars and cents to the taxpayers of Perquimans County, If, however, when all the foregoing, facts In favor of the centrally located site that he has offered having been weighed against any other site selection, tne Meaicai procurement com mittee and the Perquimans County Commissioners speaking for the citizens of the County, joinuy seiect sucn otner site. Dr. Brinn feels very strongly that his original and almost single - handed efforts for in creased Medical facilities for the citizens of the County are not appreciated, and that his so cauea -no wing - tne - practice operation", and cooperation is neither wanted nor anoreclatad by them. In that even only his love for his friends and patients would prevent his early retire ment from actlvepracticebefore completion of the proposed plans of anew facility. clogging the roads for their last fling of summer greatly Increase the potential for fatal accidents and injuries. !

The card program tobe utiliz ed by the new consortium has not been determined although it is likely one of the major na tional credit card systems with International connections will be selected.
