Neither Mr", Meyers Nor Any Other
. '; Member of Board Lookin.;
For Position
Editor Statesma
Concerning the1 article that ant
peared in. the Oregon Statesman
in regard to the Salem .hospital,
I wish to correct the' statement in
said article that in Mr. Meyers'
offer to contribute $60,000 for the
building of the two wings of the
hospital buildijng no provision was
made that he was to be employed
by the hospital in any capacity,
neither does any member of the
hospital board feel that Mr. Mey
ers wishes or would accept a po
sition under the hospital manage
ment. . ' -4 .
-"What Mr.. Meyers did -say was
that he would want to have charge
of the construction work when the
two wings ars built, and that the
board-could pay him a small sal
ary or not," just as it pleased. His
service in this regard would ter
minate as soon s the two wings
are finished.
The board feels that Mr. Meyers'
offer to the hospital is a generous
one, and, being in the nature of an
annuity, the yearly payment of in
terest during the life of himself
and Mrs. Meyers, his wife, is a
reasonable stipulation.
I make this, statement for the
purpose of correcting any Idea
that Mr. Meyers or any Other mem
ber of the board is looking for a
position under the management of
the hospital.
