The great advantage of their work is this, they can replace damaged or worn out Whitby Hospital Governors Discuss Three Possible Sites | The location of Whitby's pro- posed General Hospital has not been settled. Strong overtures were made at a March 31 Board of Gover- nors' meeting to have it built in conjunction with the existing ee Lake On- agreed bring this recommendation to the Shareholders Annual Meet- ing set for April 21 in the Coun- cil Chambers. The basic advantages of such a location were presented to the Board by the Property Commit- tee through a report submitted by T W. Beddall of Zurich Con- sultants Ltd., of Toronto. The committee, it was learn- ed had contacted Mr. Beddall on Dec. 4 for help in choosing a location. At that time they had narrowed the field to about 15 sites, By March 31, the committee had the field reduced to five, three on the Ontario Hospital grounds, one at the northwest corner of Rossland and Brock, and one just west of the new County Building on Rossland road, ADVANTAGES OF Ontario HOSPITAL LOCATION Cost: It was estimated that the choice of Ontario Hospital would save the Share- holders and taxpayers some $230,000. This figure was arrived at by adding up the costs of heating location, laundry and hydro for a separate location, It was established that a 15- acre site vag om god se. on government would cost in the neighborhood of $30,000, Al- though exact figures were un- available, it was intimated that Ontario Hospital land could be leased for $1 per year. The estimated cost of heating a 120-bed hospital comparable to the one planned is $120,000. Should the hospital be built in conjunction with the existing yOntario Hospital, the report in- report quotes the Department of, Health as planning expansion of laundry facilities at the OMH, They are presently capable of handling 25 to 30 tons of linen weekly, it was learned, and it was estimated that a 120-bed hospital would increase that figure five tons. It was revealed that an $11,- 000 folding machine had just been installed. Another $40,000 saving could be made by utlizing an Ontario} Hospital grounds site. The hos- pital presently has a stand-by diesel generator to supply suf- ficient electricity to a 120-bed hospital in case of emergency. Hydro-electric power is read- ilyavailable from a nearby. sub- station, according to PUC offi- cials. COST REDUCTION The Board ofy Governors, bas- ing their estimates on the Ajax Hospital, and on the present learned, the sewage removal would have to be accomplished through the use of pumps. Site C is above the level of, and ed by gravitational flow. The Board was assured that sewage would be no problem at any of the sites. THE OTHER SITES Here are the dvantages and disadvantages of the Rossland- Brock site: : --Access is restricted to the northeast corner of the property from Brock street north (High- way 12) or from Rossland road --This, the report suggested, could be used to advantage by the opening of semi-basement floors, with service entrances on the west side of the building, and the higher-level east side reserved for patients and visit- ors. --One disadvantage, Mr. Bed- dail's report explained, was extra cost involved in footings, exposed basement walls, insula- tion and heating. --These costs would be over protesting poor pay and no paid the Civil Service Association. He added the employees were fringe bnefits such as hospi- talization.

No problems in hook-up are seen. --Hydro is available from On- tario Hydro of Oshawa.

This reduction ot $600000 would drop the price for the shareholders and the County to $1,1 million. The further deduction, should the hospital site be chosen for Ontario Hospital grounds, would bring the total to about $870,000, | It was learned that the Coun- ty of Ontario would be called on to pay 75 per cent of this fig- ure, or $652,500. The remainder must be raised by the Hospital Board ($217,500), There were three areas on Hospital Grounds' suggested as likely sites: One north of the existing buildings on Anne street (Gordon street); one at the southeast corner of existing buildings; and a third at the The Ontario Government pres-/ ently pays a grant of about} WHITBY PERSONALS Viscount Greenwood Chapter IODE are holding a Spring Dessert Bridge at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, Thurs- day, April 16, at 8 p.m. Receiv- ing at the door will be Regent Mrs. Alex Ingram assisted by Vice Regent Mrs. J.
