AUGUSTA, Ga. — According to
a statement issued by George A.
Sancken, general chairman of the
Sisters’ Hospital Building Fund
Committee, it is hoped that bids
may be let for Ihe construction of
lhe new hospital not later than
Ihe spring of next year.
Mr. Sanckcn’s statement is as
follows:
“The Sisters' Hospital Commit
tee, which -was formed to promote
the building of a Catholic hospi
tal for Augusta wishes lo again
express its appreciation for the
splendid cooperation which has
been given by the citizens of this
community and at the same time
to give tlie following explanation
as to the delay in the construction
of the hospital.
“We feel it is not necessary to
cite the many difficulties which
must be met in planning the erec
tion of any building and particu
larly a hospital at this time. These
problems are brought about not
only by (he extremely high cost
of construction, bul also by the
fact that quite often when build-
in es are started in connection
with which priorities have been
secured, intci min able delays have
been encountered due to material
shortages.
“Where there is a public obliga
tion and trust as in this instance,
every expenditure must be made
lo secure the' greatest value. It
would be the height of folly to
purchase fixtures and equipment
realizing that In a few years it
will be necessary to replace them.
“Members of this committee
have visited other cities where
construction on hospitals had been
previously started. They have
gone over the situation thorough
ly with contractors and building
material men, and have discussed
the problem in person with the
• Mother Superior of ttie nursing
order in SI. Louis (o obtain the
benefit of her knowledge and ex
perience in such matters. As a
result of these visits and consul
tations it is the opinion of this
Committee that it would bo advis
able to temporarily delay asking
for bids. However it is (lie com
mittee's intent and hope that bids
will be asked for not later than
ihe spring of 1947. Notwith
standing the difficulties as out
lined, we do wish lo assure Ihe
citizens of Augusta this hospital
will be built as soon as possible.
"Assuring our benefactors and
contributors the hospital will be
built at lhe earliest possible mo
ment that conditions will permit,
we ask their continued generosity
and patience.”
Last fall, the citizens of Au
gusta generously pledged a pound
a quarter of a. million dollars to
ward tile const ruction of a Catho
lic hospital liHe, which will be
operated by the Sisters of St.
Joseph of Carondelet.
An attractive site, in the Monte
Sano section of the city, was pur
chased last year, and plans for the
hospital have been executed by
Henry D. Dagit and Sons, of
Philadelphia, witli William N. Par
sons. of Augusta, as consulting
architect.
Difficulty in securing materials
and labor have been responsible
for the postponement of the start
of work on the building.
