In Preparation for articles In the future, I will give VJ I grneral background of your ho pltal In thl week's column. The suggestion that a hospital was needed and could be built waa firm made In lWt- There had been many honpltals In lleppner In years pat but none was In operation at that time. At that time the money that would be necessary for a project of this sire seemed as big as the national debt. It took almost six years before the hospital became a reality. The one person whose name ahould most certainly be mentioned as the guiding force behind the hospital is that of former County Judge J.G.Barratt. In addition to his tireless work on benaii or tne nospitai, wr. Barratt donated the land to the county for the hospital site. The original building, corn- ship Group meeting at the Bob Jepsen home In lone on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Nichols vis lted at the Donald Ball home In lone on Sunday.

Two thirds tt this money was i.U.1 fcy taxati"n the re maining one third csme from funds of the Hill 'Burton Act of the federal government. The building was fumUhed at a cot t.f f io.iiuj. Two third if this money came from local dona tion and one third from the Hill Burt n Act. In only four ear there were Ijo many patient for the num- Kr of Mi available. Tte hos pital wa enlarged fnun a cap acity of 28 beds to 53 beds by the addition of a new wing. Thl addition cost 1130.000 and wa romplfteu early in Two-third of thl money ws raled by taxation and one-third from the Hill Burton Act. The moHt surprising thing about this Is that the hospital cost the people about S3O3.OO0 In tax money and SIKJ.OOO In do nations for a total of approxl mately $300,000 but today, ten years after Its construction It's assets are over $310,000: This In crease In vuluatlon comes from money the operation of the hos pltal has earned and plowed back In the form cf new equip ment, donations, and a yearly maintenance fund from the county taxes of approximately $3,000. This maintenance fund Is ad ministered, by the County Court and can only be used for main tenance of the physical plant. It is Interesting to note that this fund costs the taxpayer six and one-half cents for every $100 of taxes he pays. Here are some other financial notes on our operation. The hos pital docs close to $200,000 busi ness a year. Almost three-fourths of this money stays right at home. This money would all leave this area If people had to Pioneer Memorial hospital one day last week.
