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.

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
