An Open Letter ..m.. to the Citizens of Darlington, C(,larkel, Orono, Newca'stle and Cartwri,3lt Bowmanville, Nov. 20, 1945 Ladies and Gentlemen: There appears to be a lack of knowledge in the districts adjoining the Town of Bowmanville of the urgency of- more space to accommodate patients in the Bowmanville Hospital, and there- fore a misunderstanding of the citizens of their responsibility in relieving the situation se we are placing the following facts before you: The pre8ent hospital in Bowmanville bas accommodation for 22 patients under Government standards, but it is 80 over- crowded' that the number cf patients bas been running from 25 te 35. This overcrowding is net caused by the admittance of Bow- manville patients, for there is ample space for local residents. This crowded condition is caused by taking in patients from ad- joining districts. The people of Bowmanville appreciate their responsibility in this matter and have demonstrated it by passing a by-law of $100,000 towards the erection cf a new 50-bed hospital costing in the neighborhood of $200,000. This should be ample te ac- commodate both the local patients and those from adjoining dis- tricts for some time to come. We would like the people of the adjoining districts te show their appreciation cf their responsibility in a. like manner. In order that you may have an dea of what that obligation is, based on the use made cf the hospital we have prepared the following figures showing the use made cf it by the various districts: Bowmanville Darlington Clarke and Orono Newcastle Cartwright Elsewhere Per Cent cf Districts Share Patients Per Cent cf in Cost, cf Admitted Days' Stay New Hospital 44.34 41.47 $100,009 23.48 28.27 53,000 15.10 11.09 34,500 5.47 8.43 12,400 1.49 4.08 3,600 9.44 6.56 21,500 j We are net asking the adjoining districts to pay their full share cf the cost cf erecting the new hospital but we f eel that the minimum payment shculd be: Darlington --------------- -----------------------..$12,00() Clarke and Orono ------.------------------- 8,000 Newcastle------------------------------------------ 2,500 Cartwright------------------------------------1,000 We would suggest that this meney should be raised by taxation. In addition to the money raised in this manner in Bowmanville and the surrounding district, it will be necessary te raise a f urther $76,500 by way cf public subscriptions, both in Bowmanville and the surrounding district. For this purpose we already have $12,000 on hand and have the promise cf an addi- tional $7,500. We wish te peint eut that the new hospital cannot be built unless this money -i forthcoming. It is now your responsibilitr, for Bowmanville citizens have dcne more than their share and have led the way. Dr, Wm. Tennant, Chairman, Bowmanville Hospital Board il' 11
