consult with the group again if
they decided to build. He said he
plans to meet with local doctors
again.
Ridley said the local hospital
rates are sl2 a day less than 44
comparable hospitals in
Georgia. He asked what Ex
tendicare rates would be. Grout
said a privately owned hospital
would pay taxes and have the
same or lower operating costs.
He said Extendicare would
adopt sight unseen the existing
admission and paying policies
of the hospital. Charity patients
would be accepted and there
would be emergency room and
obstetrics services.
“We would not rob existing
the hospital of its workers by
higher pay”, he said, if a new
hospital is built.
Richardson stated the
Authority is composed of local
men who try to be responsive to
the needs of the community. If
the hospital were sold, would
the management be dictated by
Louisville, Ky., or would Ex
tendicare have the authority to
meet the needs of local people.
Grout said his firm would
appoint local boards in an ad
visory capacity, made up of
doctors and local residents, and
that the administrator would
report to a regional director. He
said his firm would take over
any pension plan of the present
hospital or replace it with a
better plan.
He said Extendicare owns 44
hospitals, the largest of which is
a 507 bed teaching hospital. He
said that their charges and
costs are geared to “what it
costs us”. He said they try to
make a six per cent profit. He
said he would furnish copies of
the rates of all Extendicare
hospitals.
He also said the county could
be given a long term contract
dealing with indigent patients.

Grout said a new hospital
could be operating here within
one and one-half years at the
same or lower operating costs.
He emphasised they would be
paying taxes. His firm pur
chases supplies cheaper than
government hospitals as they
buy in such quantity, he added,
added.
Ridley said with the ex
pansion program the problem is
not in beds but in having enough
doctors. He asked if a doctor
could spread himself so thin
with an additional 140 bed
hospital. He said the April
through July census reports at
the local hospital show an
average of 126 patients per day.
The hospital already has 162
beds and if a new hospital is
built, would there be any
patients left, for the present
facility, he asked.
He asked based on a state
plan, there is a need for 66
additional beds and the ex
pansion plan already has been
approved.
Ridley said there was no
question about Extendicare’s
efficiency. “We want to know
will it cost the sick people less
money?”
Grout answered the number
of additional beds for a new
hospital has not been
established, but studies show
private firms can do it cheaper.
He said there is nothing wrong
in making a profit as long as it is
fair exchange on an investment.
Many times, he said, he is asked
if it is morally wrong to make a
profit on a hospital. He said he
answers by asking if it is wrong
for a doctor to make a profit, or
a drug firm.
Authority members said
although the local hospital is
nonprofit, there is in the neigh
borhood of some SBOO,OOO on
hand which they have been
setting aside monthly as a
depreciation fund. This fund is
obligated to be used in ex
pansion.
Recently, they said, about
$60,000 came out of this fund for
new instruments and x-ray
equipment.

3rd quarter
tax estimate
due Sept. 15
Many taxpayers may
unknowlingly be in trouble with
Uncle Sam for failing to file an
estimated tax declaration for
1972 at the time of filing their
1971 tax return. And, the Sept.
15 deadline for paying the third
installment on this, or
originating an estimated tax
declaration, is sneaking up fast,
according to Bill Ballard, local
manager for H & R Block,
America’s Largest Tax Service.
Also, according to Mr.
Ballard, there may be tax
payers who will not be required
to pay estimated tax although
they were required to in past
years. The Revenue Act of 1971
changed many of the ground
rules.
“Now,” Mr. Ballard stated,
“a declaration of estimated tax
will be required only if the
taxpayer has more than SSOO in
income which was not subject to
withholding and his estimated
tax liability is more than $100.”
Prior rules required the filing of
an estimate if the taxpayer had
S2OO from other than wage in
come and his estimated tax was
more than S4O.
“Even though all income is
from wages, if wage income is
$20,000 or more (for single
taxpayers, those qualifying as a
head of household, surviving
widow or widower, and married
taxpayers with only one spouse
working) and the estimated tax
liability is SIOO or more, they
should still file an estimated tax
declaration,” cautioned
Ballard. “And, the same would
be true for married couples
when both are employed, if one
has wages in excess of SIO,OOO -
if the estimated tax is SIOO or
more. If married and not en
titled to file a joint return, the
amount is $5,000, with the same
SIOO or more required in
estimated tax.”
“Actually, if taxpayers have
at least 80 percent of their final
tax liability on deposit - either
through withholding or
estimated payments - there is
no penalty involved,” Mr.
Ballard said. “But the taxpayer
that wants to play safe and
avoid a penalty for un
derpayment should definitely
check the new law.”
