Annual Legion Question What To I 'MI-11 1?1 1 What is to be done with the monies already collected for building an addition to the Amherst hospital) Should original plans for adding to the present hospital be followed? Or should a separate building be erected on the present grounds? Or should an entirely new structure be erected at a new location? These questions are becoming more and more acute to members of the hospital board of trustees in the face of constantly rising costs, divided opinion around town on the advisability of adding to the present structure, and questions from citizens as to what is being done with the money. In a meeting of the board on Wednesday evening of this week a great deal of discussion was devoted to the matter with no definite decision reached. Funds Always Insufficient It was pointed out by -Robert Hubbard, president of the board, that there never has been sufficient funds for even the original plans. When first drawn in 1945, the plans called for an expenditure of approximately $75,000. By the completion of the drive when $60,000 was raised, costs had increased to the point where the lowest bid received was in the neighborhood of $87,000. Elmer Hume, local contractor, asked to give an estimate of present building costs, told the group that if brick were used in place of sandstone, if the cornices were eliminated, and if the sun deck were eliminated, he estimated that the addition now would cost approximately $100,000. Hubbar was asked to appoint a committee to investigate the several possibilities and report back to the group with a definite re commendation. This he agreed liiiiiv-iiiii... w i.i ,,, iic agilxu to do, asking for a little time to make the apointments. ,. ... i . Carnival Plagues Board: Do About Hospital?
