Explanation of the plan by Verne Relerson of the state board of health before the Sherm an County club made that clear. Mr. Reierson, who came to speak on health m atters to the club, said th a t Oregon wras short of hospitals and that the federal governm ent had provided $460,- 725 per year for five years for aid toward construction of more hospitals. The plan will continue for four more y ears./ Since the plan was organized In Oregon Tillamook and Hepp- ner com m unities have received gran ts and others are w orking on plans. Although the Sherm an county project is rated as C2 in priority It would be possible to obtain approval if there was enough in terest and sufficient money was raised. Hospital« Complete A hospital under this plan would need a room for surgery and another for obstetric«:' A dental office could be arranged. A ten bed hospital would be a m inimum and the cost would be at least $10,000 per bed with the probable cost running to $12.000 per bed.
