ADVISABILITY OF BACKING ONLY ONE HOSPITAL DISCUSSED The question of the advisability of one large hospital for McHenry county has been discussed throughout this area since last week's meeting of the board of supervisors when Smpe'rv' isor Stanley Cornue of Hebron suggested this as a logical solution to the problem of inadequate hospital facilities. Mr. Cornue went on to suggest that the county boar^l should get behind a hospital either by taxation or by solicitation. He felt It has been unfair for onp city, Woodstock, to maintain a hospital when it is occupied by residents of that community only 33 percent of the time. Mr. Cornue further stated that in ten years the county's population has grown from 36,000 to 50,000 and in that time no addition has been made to the hospital. His opinion was that it should become a county-wide project. It was brought out that the old part of the Woodstock hospital is ninety years old and that the state has advised that it will be condemned unless a building program is instituted. It is expected that some action may be taken at a later date.
