Gilliam, and Wheeler Counties no retirement facilities exist A survey has been done by Betty Miggon bottom of the MI L) office in Mermi stun indicating that a need is here for development of these facilities Such a structure should draw from the areas of Condon Fossil Spray, Arlington and Kimberly, as well as Meppner Islington.
