For outsiders the difficulty is much greater and could become almost impossible. (3) Certain diseases if diseovered and treated in the early Stages can be cured. Without adequate hospital and laboratories the chance and hope of help is denied and unnecessary deaths recorded. This could happen to any one of us as matters stand.

The remaining 3,4 must be obtained locally. I ‘(71 The operating and maintenance cost of hospitals is paid by‘ the Ontario Hospital Services Commission* from moneys 'it receives as hospital insurance premiums paid by the people.

The cost of operation of hospitals is paid for by the Ontari Hospital Commission from monies received from: Hospital Insurance Premiums -approximately 48% 0 Federal Government 41% Ontario Government General Revenue 11% 100% (9) York County at the present time is short over 400 beds - these beds are being found in the neighbouring municipalities. This means that some $4,000,000.00 per year of the premiums collected from the people of the County is being spent every year outside the County. (10) Investment of a comparatively small amount of capital by I the County can provide. lst: safety, and decent attention fqr those giving birth and to those requiring hospital services, and 2nd: will provide institutions that will keep the spending of the people’s premium money within the County. If nothing is done before 1971 to improve the County situation, and the neighbours have the beds available, as much as $7,000,000.00 of our money would be spent annually outside of the County for hospital services for our people. (11) Time is of the essence. To prepare and obtain approval of preliminary sketches, takes from three to four months’ time. To prepare sketches. plans. detailed working drawings, prepare for and receive tenders, takes about eleven months. With about twen- ty months to build, there is a lapse of 31 months or two and one half years from the time of the go-ahead to the completion of theI pitaI Commission the extension of the York County Hospital at Newmarket and the: cost.of building a hospital at Richmond Hill will be approximately equaL The projected development of the two hospitals in stages will 4be estimated as far as possible to follow this principle of equal ex- penditure with due regard to efficiency, service and the interests of the people of the County as a whole. This principle is recommended with the full approval of Com- mission members and the acquiescence of the two Hospital Boards: In order to provide a total of 325 hospital beds with services: and furnishings, the money required is estimated to be four million . three hundred and ï¬fty thousand dollars ($4,350,000.00).

It is recommended that $75,000.00 be made available for pre-, liminary requirements; $45,000.00 for the production of “approved sketches" for the projects. This amount of $45,000.00 would be in- cluded in the 7% total for architects‘ fees. The remaining $30,000_00 would be used to cover incidental preliminary expenses such as op- tions for land, and etc. , It is estimated that the breakdown of cost of the two projects would be approximately as follows: Construction: . . . . . . . . , . . . . . . . $3,555,000.00 Land: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 70.000.00 Furnishings & Equipment: . . . . . 500.000-00 Architects’ Fees: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 225,000.00 $4,350,000.00 The Government Grants are provided as follows: For sketches, plans, detailed working drawings or costs in the stages before construction stai'ts there is no allotment of money from the senior governments.

The matter of ï¬nancing hospitals should be placed in a rightful position within municipalities, placed on a ï¬nancing footing comparable with schools roads, sidewalks, build- ings and sewage disposal plants. and etc. Then the two-thirds of the capital costs of hospitals would be obtained from County de- bentures. The amortizing of these debentures would come from the hospitals’ fair share of the budgeted income obtained by levy on the constituent municipalities. There need then be no increase in taxes if other requirements are scaled relatively and realistically. Disease and sickness cannot be legislated against, but provisions for care of the unfortunate sufferers can be legislated for by the provision of proper and adequate hospitals. (14) Sewers, sidewalks, roads, public buildings and bridges, built with money raised from grants and County money, earn no- thing and return nothing in money to the people of the County. Hospitals on the other hand, operate on the insurance premium money raised, sent out, returned and spent in the County. Hospitals, in their spending, compare with the largest industrial plants. Sewers, sidewalks, etc. may be considered necessary but hos- pitals are vital and essential, and there is no substitute in the ex- istence of a community. Having considered the above factors and as a result of in- vestigations and deliberations, the Commission ï¬nds that the Joint Report submitted to Council and now tabled is a good report. It is conservative in its recommendations to meet the overall needs of the County up to 1971. The Commission has accepted the report and recommends that County Council should accept the "Joint Report" as containing a sound appreciation of the hospital situation and presents a most reasonable solution of the problems if carried out, in sensible and practical stages. ’ The object to be attained by 1971 for additional hospital fac- fllties within the County of York contained in the Joint Report is briefly as follows: 1.’That the “County Hospital Service Area" be the area con- tained’ within the boundaries of the County of York, to include all municipalities. 2. That York County Hospital at Newmarket be extended to better serve the Northern portion of the County. 3. That a York Central Hospital Association hospital be built It Richmond Hill to serve the Southern portion of the County. 4. That the York County hospital at Newmarket be brought by Itages by 1971 from its present 113 active treatment beds to 320 active treatment plus 60 chronically ill beds or to a total of 380 beds of all types. 5. That a hospital be built in stages at Richmond Hill to have a capacity by 1971 of 280 active treatment beds plus 40 chronically ill beds or a total of 320 beds of all types. I 6. The County of York would then by stages by 1971 be provided‘Z with hospital accommodation and services within its boundaries as follows: - At Newniarket by 1971 â€" Active Treatment Beds 320 Chronically 111 Beds At Richmond Hill by 1971 â€" 60 All Beds 3801 $157,312,109 100.0000 $247,728.00 (Prepared by McDonald, Currie 81*.

A man with a home assessed at $5,000.00 any place in the County of York can be assured of some degree of safety for himself and his family for the price of 1 bottle of good whiskey per year. Summary: The York County Hospital Commission and its members have worked unselï¬shly and conscientiously to ï¬nd a solution to the hospital need problem. Every consideration has been taken into account but the two main and realistic factors of course are “how many" and-“how muchâ€. The conclusions arrived at with the unanimous‘approval of the members of the Commission are embodied in the following recom- mendations. The Members of Council are urged to consider well the ser- iousness of the situation, to view the problem in the light of the health and care of the people of the County. On your decision can rest the life or death of yourself. members of your family and many of your constituents. Recommendations: 1. That County Council approve in principle the Joint Report "The Need and Recommendations for Additional Hospital Facilities within the County of York." 2. That County Council make available $75,000.00 for prelimin- ary expenses and for Architects‘ fees for approved preliminary sketches. 3. That County Council approve the recommendations for: (a) the extension of York County Hospital at Newmarkebl (b) the building of a hospital at Richmond Hill. 4 .That County Council approve the issue of debentures in series ;Welfai’e, in short, is a widespread need again this yeari THE LIBERAL, Richmond Hill, Ontario.

Whitchureh Clerk-'l‘rcasurer John Crawford said that by the. time all accounts have been1 settled covering January of this, year that the township will have} spent around $3,700.00 in welfare measures, compared to just underL $3,500.00 for the same period a) year ago. "I think the situation will become worse in the next few months,†he said. “There seems‘ to be quite a few new faces around this year and indica- tions are that the February bill will come to around $4,000.00. If this keeps up it means we will exceed last year‘s total of some $34,000.00. The township receives back 80 per cent of welfare expenditures from the provincial g0vernment and the federal government pays the province 50 per cent of the 80 per cent. in order to receive theI 80 per cent provincial kick-back, the township must qualify accor-‘ ding to different rules and regul- ations laid down by the province. It is also learned that federal au- 1 ditors are making it tougher forI the provinces to qualify for the: 50 per cent rebates which means that the provincial auditors can make it that much tougher for the municipalities to qualify for: all of the 80 per cent. I Between mounting unemploy- ment and increasing destitution on the one hand. a tougher au- ditor-policy by the federal and‘, provincial governments and Iim-‘ ited municipal funds on the other, I the overall picture for any town-j ship appears ’(o be somewhat? worst than last year when it was bad enough.
