Barr (Mount Shasta) that it costs the county more than $400 a month to care for old persons at the county home for the aged, while it would cost about $150 per month if they had been placed at private homes. Barr, a long time opponent of the proposed new home for the aged slated to be built at the county hospital, said that the new unit would merely be an addition to the present hospital, Even if the building should constructed, he said, there still would be no place for old persons not requiring hospital care.

Barr said that when the annex is completed, the county hospital, located in Yreka would give the county 176 beds while statistics show the county needs only 120 beds, He admitted that the Yreka area needs hospital, but said that it should be operated locally, and not by the county. There three other hospitals in the county. The McCloud Hospital and the Weed Hospital are operated respectively by the McCloud River Lumber Company and the Long-Bell Lumber Company. The third is 8 privately owned osteopathic hospital at Mount Shasta. Southern Pacific employes from Dunsmuir are eligible to use S.P.
