A committee from the hosits board pital representing of directors sat with the county fathers and Tax Commissioners R. E. Hammond, secretary; George A. Critchlow and Howard P. Leatham in a session that began at 11 a. m. Wednesday. President Lorenzo Hansen, Dr. T. B. Budge, A. E. Anderson, Dr. J. W. Hayward and George Raymond, secretary, comprised the hospital committee. In a brief statement of the liospital directors' stand on the matter. President Hansen reviewed the history of the hospital since it was founded 24 years ago. It was organized principally, he said, with funds and donations raised from stockholder subscriptions. For a number of years. Dr. D. C. Budge, head of the Budge clinic, acted as superintendent of the hospital. Surplus receipts during those years. Mr. Hansen said, remained in the liospital treasury and were used to defray costs of construction or a nurses home several years ago. In recent years, the hospital service has increased to such an extent that it became necessary to hire a superintendent and other staff members. This materially Increased overhead To expenses, he maintained. bemeet increased demands, it came necessary to charge all persons entering and receiving service from the hospital. been have Arrangements with made and maintained officials church and county relative to charity cases whereby the medical staff give their services free, but not the use of the hospital. The state tax commissioners were requested to at least hold in obeyance collection of current taxes and to see their the way clear to authorize county treasurers to eliminate on current taxes the hospital which are now delinquent from being advertised along with other delinquencies in the list made up for publication and to be printed soon. This Is desired until such time as the Supreme court completes rehearing of the Budge case.

The remaining five per cent are orincipally private hosoitals, declaring a dividend. The L. D.
