Hospital Project
Jo Be Placed on
November Ballot
Court Acts After
Conning Petitions
From Over County
Morrow county citizens will be gi
ven an opportunity 'to express their
wills one way or the other on the
proposed county hospital at the
forthcoming general election on
November 7. The county court this
week took steps to place the meas
ure on the ballot, or to have spec
ial ballots printed is that is found
necessary.
Decision to call for a vote on the
proposal was readied Wednesday
after Ihe court perused the sever
al petitions presented from several
districts in the county. The signa
tures reached several hundred and
indicated that the people want the
hospital and are willing to pay a
price within reason for it. While
the measure has not been drawn
up as it will appear on the ballot,
it is proposed to levy a two-mill
tax for a period of five years to
establish a building and operating
fund for the hospital costing in the
neighborhood of $75,000 to build
and equip.
Persons engaged in circulating
the petitions stated that enthusiasm
for the hospital seemed to grow as
they contacted signers. All were
agreed that the hospital is needed
and not a few urged that the build
ing be done now, while others felt
it better to wait until building con
ditions are more favorable. The
object of the balloting is to grant
authority to the court to levy the
tax for erecting and operating a
county-owned hospital when in the
judgment of that body the time is
ripe to go ahead.

peace, urging organization for mu
tual protection.
County Commissioner J. G. Bar
ratt, a member of the farm bureau,
was called upon by President G.
N. Peck to review the steps taken
to procure a hospital for the coun

ent, most of whom are members of
the federation, and he was plied
with many questions.
Mrs. Lucy Rodgers, the third
scheduled speaker, was unable to be
present.
Light refreshments were served
