Newspaper Page Text, I THE MORNING OREGONIAN, THURSDAY, : DECEMBER 16, 1930 2a County Hospital Apparatus Not Needed Now. PRICE IS DECLARED HIGH Scientists Say Property May Be Out of Sate Before Xew Building Is Ready.. X-Kay apparatus costing more than J9000, of which amount J7000 has al ready been paid, has been stored in the basement or the county court house, there to remain for one or two years, until such time as the new county hospital has been completed. Purchase of the apparatus was au thorised by the county board of com missioners, without consultation with Dr. Ralph Walker, In charge of the X-Kay department of the hospital, it has developed, and with one member of the county board of commissioners believing-, according- to his own state ment, that the apparatus in question was a part of the necessary fixtures of the building, to be installed upon delivery in Portland. Local Firm Has Contract. The apparatus was purchased from the Victor Electric corporation by the :' county through Jaggar-Sroufe com pany, a local electrical concern, which had been given the contract for all electrical iixtures on a diu in Bids for this work were opened on July 19. 1920, and the contract award ed on the following day. Complaint came from the Shaw Sup ply company that award of the con tract was made for the X-Ray appa ratus without granting the . Shaw company an opportunity to submit bids. Records in the bands or Ssutten & Whitney, architects for the new hospital, showed, however, that specl " f ications were -advertised for two weeks as required by law, and that all b'ds were given consideration, - The specifications designated Victor apparatus, but a provis'on in the specifications announced that bids for all types and makes or A-Kay appa ratus wonld be considered Dy tne board. Cost Possibly Excessive. Consensus of opinion among men interested in the sale of X-Ray ap naratna. and other facilities used in hospitals, indicated that the cost of such appartaus would decline ma terially during the next two years. If this is true, it is certain that tne ap paratus for which the county has no 'immediate use, and which is now stored in the basement of the court house, might have been procured When needed at much less than was paid. Furthermore, scientific development is constantly bringing about improve ment in modern facilities manufac tured for use in the medical profes sion, and there are some qualified to speak who believe that the apparatus now resting In the courthouse base ment will be far from modern when it is finally installed In the hospital on Marquam hill. Specialist Not Consulted. When questioned as to his knowl edge of the purchase of the X-ray ap paratus Dr. Ralph Walker, in charge of the X-ray department, and a spe cialist In this particular line of work, who has gained recognition through out the United States, admitted that he had not been consulted ' The apparatus was approved by Dr. Dorwin Palmer, who is attached to the X-ray department of the hos pital. The general plan for the X-ray department received the approval of a staff of physicians composed of Dr. Harry Cliff, county physician, and Dr. A. J. Giesy, Dr. J. M. Short. Dr. Luther Hamilton and Dr. Richard Dlllehunt A. A. Muck, county commissioner, explained that when the matter of authorizing the purchase of the X-ray apparatus came before the board, he was under the impression that the authorization was sought for fixtures necessary for immediate installation and not for apparatus which could not be installed for several years. Question Declared Discussed. County Commissioners Hoyt and Holman, on the other hand, have said that the matter was fully explained and discussed and the apparatus was purchased because it was considered feasible to include it In the general electrical contract. Next month bids will be called for on the Installation of plumbing and fixtures. While the plumbing fixtures, when delivered, cannot be Installed for more than a year, it was explained that the type of the fixtures must be known to the contractor who will install the piping, in order that the various connections may be placed In the proper positions. In the case of the steam fixtures, it has been decided that the pipes alone will be installed and that the radia tors and water plant will be pur chased at a later date and attached to the pipes. This will be possible, it was explained, because heat fixtures are standard, while In the case of plumbing fixtures, each manufac turer places an original model upon the market. , 0? 9 ' t V Si :1 TODAY'S FILM FEATURES.
