All the above factors must be five years. The County Assessor
evaluated to place an estimate on
the tax obligation that property
owners will assume in financing
the proposed hospital.
The laws of this State provide
that Hospital Districts may not
issue or sell general obligation
bonds in excess ~bf 5 percent of
the assessed valuation of the dist-
rict.
The hospital commissioners
pointed out that the assessed val-
uation of the hospital district,
which is coextensive with the
County, is $27,311,248. This would
permit a maximum bond issue of
$1:,365,000; however, the Board
~.ttributcs this increase in part
to new construction and new pro-
perry coming on the tax rolls and
in part to revahmtions of existing
properties. Since the. amount of
money needed to retire any given
bond issue remains constant, with
every continual increase in the
County's assessed valuation there
is a corresponding decrease in the
levy or millage needed to retire
the bonds.
For example, if it takes 2.94
mills to retire the bonds with the
assessed vMuation being what it
is today, in five years it would
require only approximately two

increase in the assessed valuation
of 6.6 percent per year.
Let us now examine item No.
4 above . . . the Federal Aid. With
the passage of the bond issue the
District will be considered eligible
for the receipt of a Federal Grant
which could provide up to 40 per-
cent of the cost of the new hos-
pital. Since the Board which allo-
cates these funds does not meet
until after the election, it is im-
possible for any applicant to de-
termine who will receive this as-
sistance; however, it is a known
fact that the Shelton area enjoys
highest priority in the State for
these funds.
Tim last factor and perhaps the
most important one is the fact
th~tt the new hospital will be op-
erated by a public body elected
by a vote of the people similar to ARCHERY INSTRUCTION--Archery instructions Left to right are Mrs. Vivian Query, Grapeview;

doesn't, he should vote NO.
The state law requires at least
a 40 percent turnout of the num-
ber" voting in the last general elec-
tion and a 60 percent favorable
vote must be cast to permit the
bonds to be issued and sold.
