Hinton was present to discuss the sales tax situation, with regard to the distribution of these funds on a population basis, rather than the present method on distribution on point of sales. He revealed the fact that in 1962, Lehi received $13,707.94. If it were distributed on a per capita basis Lehi would have received $39,640.81, or a difference of $25,932.87.

Garn Holbrook, chairman of the group. Funds which were on hand in the control of this committee were used for the purchase of an electrocardiograph, a stand for this equipment and also Lehi Nat. Guard Unit Gains in Reorganization In a National Guard reorganization which resulted in a substantial reduction in strength authorization for many units throughout the state, Lehi's unit was one of tahe few units authorized an increase of strength. This increase will allow the local unit to maintain essentially a full strength company of 150 men, which is an increase of approximately 30 men over quotas authorized in the past, and which is from 40 to 60 more men than most similar units are au thorized under the present reorganization. Selection of the Lehi unit for this distinct honor was based on outstanding past performance in the maintenance of authorized strength quotas and on a record of superior training proficiency. E. C. Dorton, commanding officer, attributes the local unit's enviable record to the outstanding public support Lehi has consistently given its Guard unit and to the fine groups of intelligent and dedicated young men this community has traditionally produced. a "Royal hospital bed. this contribution the committee was officially disorganized. The committee included Mr. Holbrook, Nurse Mable Janes, Mrs. Audrey Price, Mrs. Adith Southwick, Mrs. Verda Beterson, Warren Russon, Nurse Ethel Ball, Mrs. Eva Beveridge and Leland G. Price. A letter of explanation was composed and copies submitted to the Lehi City Council, the manager of the Lehi Hospital and the secretary of the Lehi Health Council. The explanatory letter was written as follows: To Whom it May Concern: Under the sponsorship and as a direct result of the efforts of the Home Nursing group, a local committee was organized, in 1948, for the assistance of rheumatic fever victims. This committee was comprised of representatives from the following civic groups: American Legion Auxiliary, Junior Chamber of Commerce, Lehi Riding Club, Lions Club, the Home Nursing Group and Chairmaned by R. Garn Holbrook from the Lehi City Council. During the years that followed this commit tee acted as a servant of the com munity in collecting and disburs ing funds for many rheumatic fever victims. During the more recent years, the demand for serv ices of this group have become less and less, until at the present time there is very little need for its further services. It is the wish of this committee to use the funds still in its pos session for the use of the people by whom it was contributed, and at the same time to use it for the purpose for which it was intended. To this end, this committee presents to the Lehi Hospital an electrocardiograph with stand and a Royal Hi-L- o Hospital bed, with the hope that they will be effective aids for the welfare of the people of this community. This is done with two stipulations: 1. That charges for the use of this equipment be minimal and that they be determined with the thought in mind that said equipment was made possible by dona tion of the people to assist those in need who are unable to pay for the services needed, either in full or in part. This being inter preted to mean that where a patient is unable to pay for ser vices of this equipment that it be given without charge, and further that if he is able to pay for a portion of the services that the balance be given without cost. 2. That this equipment is for the use of the Lehi Hospital so long as it is owned and operated by the City of Lehi. However, should the time ever come when said hospital ceases to be operated as a city owned institution that title to said equipment reverts to the Lehi Health Council and is to be delivered to them for their determination as to its future use. It is further requested that three official copies of this letter be prepared and filed with 1. The Lehi City Council after first having been read into the minutes of the first council meeting after it comes into their hands. 2. The manager of the Lehi Hospital for his files, and 3. To the secretary of the Lehi Health Council for the files of that group. With this act the Lehi Rheu-nati- c Fever Committee officially dissolves.
