Many hours of planning have gone into the new
Community Hospital, before and since the district
was formed. Now these plans are being crys-
talized. The Hospital Commissioners, Doctors,
Architects, State Health Department Advisors,
and many others are working for a hospital that
would be tailored to the area's needs both for
now and in the years to come.

To pay off the bonds over a twenty year period,

What does a 2.94 mill tax levy mean to us ?
Well if you own a home worth $10,000 it is now
evaluated for tax purposes at $2,000 which means
that it would cost you about $5.88 per year to pro-
vide you and your loved ones with a modern State-
Approved Hospital. Very inexpensive insurance.
The Hospital Commissioners hope to operate the new
facility to the point that those hospital revenues not
needed for operating expenses can assist in paying
off the bonds. In that case taxes would be reduced.
