The cost per bed, including cost of site, is estimated at $1500.00. This Association wlshes-PorZsmouth to have not less than five (5) beds, and believes that the 0ity should be~r the cost of same. While the Oo,~Uncil probably can not make an epp=op~iation this yea~, will you kindly advise if you wo%uld favor an appropriation for this proposed hos, p~ital neXt~yea~? If not pre- pa~ed to make an appropriation for the entire cost of the five (5) beds, say $7500.00, eould not the Oouncil appropris~te, say $750.00 to $1000,O0 a year, giving the Oity notes for this sum payable annually fora period of ten (lO) years? The~e notes could be discounted and the required sum realized. Respectfully yours, PORT~OUTH TUBER~OULOSIS ASSOCIATION, By L. J, Hitch, On motion, the petition w~s ordered to lay. on the table.
