OFFICIALS WILL
DISCUSS BUYING
SANATORIUM
VOLUME 87 ESTABLISHED IN 1859 THE JOURNAL CALDWELL OHIO THURSDAY MAY 9 1946 TEN PAGES THIS WEEK!
Commissioners
To Attend Joint
Meeting, May 13
The Noble county commissioners
have been asked to attend a joint
meeting of officials from six coun
ties, May 13, to discuss the proposal
that Morgan and five adjoining
counties, including Noble, would
purchase the Rocky Glen Sanatorium
at McConnelsville. The meeting on
May 13 will be held with the san
atorium officials in order to reach a
final decision.
It is believed that Noble county’s
share in the proposal would amount
to approximately $26,000.
Cost Price Lowered
Although the sum of $150,000 was
previously named as the possible
purchasing price of the institution,
Harold Mark, superintendent, stated
that its present valuation, based on
what, it would sell at on miction
block, would be between $90,000 and
$106 000 without the administration
building which burned on March 7.
Estimated cost of re-h’ulding this
struct ion is about $45,000.
According to the state law only
five counties adioining Mortran may
participate in the proposal of io:nt
purchase of the sanatorium. Thev
are Washington. Perry, Athens. No
ble, and Muskingum. Conferences
have been held with officials of
three of th® counties.
Operation Explained
Tn a cruestion and answer session,
Sunt. Mark stated that the sana
torium is now a stock comnanv and
that his brother. Dr. Louis Mark,
medical director of the institution,
owns approximately 90 percent of
the common stock and about 40 per
cent of the preferred stock. Should
the counties take over the institution
the corporation would be dissolved.
“The sanatorium has alwavs been
successful.” Mark said, “and it
would be no work at all to fill it up
with patients.” He mentioned that
a number of veterans have been
clamoring for hosnitalizat:on, and
stated that the reason for the pend
ing sale of the institution is because
of his brother’s ill health.
Physical Assets
Here are some of the facts con
cerning the sanatorium: Tt has 42
separate buildings. its average
number of patients before the fire
totaled 115 the sanatorium has 135
beds and can operate 120 without
being crowded. The 115 patients
require services of 15 nurses or
about 10 patients per nurse.
Operatin gexpenses for the san
atorium amount to about $140,000
annually. This amount would be
divided among the participating
counties, should they take over, ac
cording to their tax duplicate. On
the basis of operational expenses in
the past, the salary scheduled for
some were as follows: resident
physician, $5,000 per year part
time physician, $2,000 medical di
rector. $9,600 administration costs,
$5,000. Nurses salaries vary be
tween $95 to $115 per month.
“I*abor and food are the greatest
cost at the sanatorium now,” Mark
said. He also said that the institu
tion for the past year has operated
without profit since it did not raise
rates in the face of other rising
costs.
He stated that once the jointly
owned institution is established it
will be successful because it would
draw in outside patients. Rates at
the institution per patient per day
now are $4.50.
HIGHWAYS BEING CHECKED
State highways 21 and 78 through
Noble county are being checked this
week by state highway officials to
determine the amount of traffic on
these roads.

machine.
