Man Charged With W eapon Assault Board Meets W ith O ffic ials, W ho Discuss O ffer To MA Representatives of the United States public health service and the state board of health told the board of directors of the Melheur Mem orial Hospital association at a meet ing held ln Attorney Harold Henlg- son’s office Tuesday night that the hospital Is eligible for federal aid as a chronic disease facility. The health services of the federal government and the state had prev iously notified the board that the institution Is not eligible for federal help as a general hospital. After an extensive conference with the officials, the board decided to postpone making a decision until the offer could be given further consideration. George M. Shlffer, director of the hospital and facilities section of the Oregon state board of health, suggested that the de cision should be made within the next 30 days, as he pointed out that other areas ln Oregon are ln need of the money. Besides Mr. Shlffer, other officials in attendance at the meeting were H. M. Patterson, hospital project engineer with the Oregon state board of health; Seldon H. Martin, hospital program consultant.

Officials estimated that the work still to be done on the hospital a- mounts to approximately *92,000, or about 37 per cent remaining to be finished. Converting the building Into a chronic disease facility would create an additional expense of *10,- 475, making < total of *102,475 for the structure. The cost of equip ment Is estimated at *60,000, mak ing a total of approximately *160,000 ln which the government could par ticipate.
