Letter from Medical Care Commission re New Quarters: Dr, Knox furnished copies of a letter he had received from the Medical Care Commission outlining the pro- cedure for obtaining Hill Burton Funds for a new building. Mr. Marks referred to the minutes of July 7, 1971 in which Mr. Harriss was quoted as saying the old building at JWMH was not fire proof. Mr. Marks stated that it was his understand- ing that the building was fire proof with the exception of some wooden rafters and these could easily be blocked off by a fire wall. After much discussion about this building vs a new building, the Board of Health again went on record as be- ing in favor of a new building on the hospital grounds.
