Board members had been talking of a cost in the $1.2 million neighborhood. That neighborhood got a little bigger when board chairman Mel Foxley noted that the price estimate didn't include and roads landscaping, blacktop. Foxley said he asked hospital architect Mike Henderson of Design West of Logan to the meeting to give board members a final estimate of the cost of the hospital "ready to put a patient in." Henderson's $1,427,855 carried was he said a ten percent con figure which tingency factor for inflation and unforseen cost rises. reassured Henderson board members that they "shouldn't have any surprises" in the final figure. Since the hospital board feels relatively sure that $618,000 in federal funds are just a matter of time, that left $809,885 to bond for to make up the difference.

"I assure youwhenyouget done you won't have any money left.. .We don't want to donate any more. If there's any money left you can prorate it back to the Christensen agreed with Harris noting that the cost of selling additional bonds would be prohibitive. "The people did give us a mandate to sell the whole $917,000," Foxley said. But he also questioned whether the half-ce- nt sales tax brings in enough each year to repay the total bond package. The annual repayment would be about (90,000.
