LII Subscription Mayor Scott Makes Statement On Hospital Board Tiff May 16, 1955 CITIZENS OF AMERICAN FORK: As Mayor of American Fork, I felt it necessary to reply to the article regarding the Hospital Board published in the Citizen on May 12, 1955. I felt that this article did not make a full disclosure dis-closure as to the facts surrounding surround-ing Mr. Meredith's resignation. First, let me say that I, per sonally, appreciate the fine work and effort of Mr. Meredith In his long service with the Hospital Hos-pital Board. However, Mr. Meredith's Mere-dith's resignation was voluntary and without coercion upon the Industrial League Baseball Season Opens This Week The 1955 Industrial League baseball season is all set to get underway this week.

Single Copy. 10c part of any other member of the Board. In supporting this contention, con-tention, I am requesting that the exact excerpt from the minutes of the Board Meeting dated May 5, 1955, be printed. An excerpt from these minutes which is pertinent is as follows: "Mayor Scott stated that the City Attorney had advised that there was a question as to Leo G. Meredith acting on the Hos pital Board being a stockholder in the Chlpman Merc. Co., which company was being used oy those authorized to make pur chases for the Hospital in the regular course of purchasing from the local business lnstitu tions. The Mayor advised Mr. Meredith he should Investigate the legal aspect of this' matter, where-upon Mr. Meredith tendered tend-ered his resignation from the Board, as of this date. .. ' s L. G. Meredith, Secretary" Mr. Galsford's article infers throughout that the City Is attempting at-tempting to use undue pressure and authority to gain control of the affairs pf the Hospital Board. This Is not the case, nor is it the intent of the Mayor or City Council to do anything other than to continue to see that the affairs of the Hospital are properly prop-erly conducted In a falr and equitable manner for the merchants merch-ants and business people of American Fork. American Fork City has been, and will continue to be, the owner of our Municipal Hospital. It owns the old Co-op properties on main street and the proceeds' therefrom are channeled into . the . Hospital fund. It owns, the property upon which the. new Hospital was erected and will continue to appoint, ap-point, through my office, the members of the Board. There are not,' as the Citizen states, any political motives involved, in-volved, but I have, and will con tinue throughout the term of my office, endeavor to see that the City as well U as it's appointed i i it . . i practices. I feel that this is in the. best interest of all of our citizens. George C. Scott, Jr, Mayor.

Loiter to the Editor This matter of being a bus ness man on the Main Street of American Fork is a new and rare experience for me. In the past, if a problem became too difficult to be solved by counting my ten fingers I merely removed my shoes. Today, however, I am very conscious of the many prob lems which face the retail busi nessman of today. I feel keenly my dependency upon the busi ness houses of this community and appreciate their extending a hand of fellowship to me by giving me a portion of their trade. For this reason J would like to pledge my support to them. I can think of no item I might need, except perhaps a pair of golden slippers that can not be purchased right here in American Fork. u we as a community are go- lng.to have, the sidewalks, curb and gutter, 'fine streets, and If we as a community are go- other facilities that go along . i a. j& i, l r!f01; to.1?.! lColvmbUi,QeA Steel .Division a boom town out of this place 1. - rrnnw ho, tM,n we live In, by pledging to shop first in American Fork for What we need, such as T.V.

Interested citizens of the area present at the meeting were Keith Wagstaf f , R. W. Long, Eugene Wimmer, Carl Shipley, Thomas Parker, ' Moyle Parker, Max Searle, and Glen Miller. How to finance the project and make it pay out seemed to be the big problem at hand. The citizen group expressed the opinion op-inion that the regular connection connec-tion fee of $100.00 plus about one year's monthly payment service charges would carry the financial burden. However, these estimated figures were not fully agreed to and a motion to process pro-cess the project by Councilman Searle failed for lack of a second. It was finally agreed by the council - members to make, a check on -how other cities in the district handle similar matters and then try to arrive at a solution sol-ution of the local problem. Further Fur-ther discussion will foilow at a later meeting, it was agreed.
