We havent seen the proposed plans, but it is our understanding that a new wing, to toe designated as maternity division, is proposed to be built northward from the area of the present maternity ward, and that the remaining portion of the hospital will be used for post operative care as well as for infecetous cases, as etc., which must pneumonia, not come into contact with the Maternity division. We have had the impression since the hospital was built, as was the case in the Nephi Elementary school, that furnace, electrical, plumbing lines all are terminated at the north end of the east wing in such a way so that additions could be placed there at the minimum of expense. At less than 100 new babies a year its going to take a while of a long time to pay for an addition which will cost upwards of $10,000.00. If an additional ward with a semi private room can be added to take care of the needed expansion it could save taxpayers and patients a lot of cash. We acknowledge that additional space is needed, and we feel that the Commisioners have surveyed every angle, but personally were not convinced that we need to go forward ed further than' our pocket-booand our needs will carry us. reg We just cant end this column without a hearty thanks to the Jaycees for their efforts on Christmas activities, to the merchants who contributed to make the merchandising events succesful, and to the C5ty officers and employees for putthe beauting and tiful Christmas decorations.
