ioners have been petitioned, in writing, by a requisite number of resident freeholders of

Dollars (12,500.00), and to renovate, alter, repair, improve and
partially refurnish such hospital building at a maximum cost and
expense of Seven Thousand Dollars (7,000.00); and, whereas,
the maximum amount of money proposed to be expended in purchasing
said real estate, hospital building and contents therein belong-
ing to said Association, renovating, altering, repairing, improv-
ing and partially refurnishing the said building, and purchasing
the surgical instruments, equipment, medicines, supplies, hospital
equipment and personal property located therein, belonging to the
estate of W. H. Twining, deceased, is the sum of Nine Thousand Five
Hundred and Ten Dollars (9,510.00);
AND, WHEREAS, it has been represented by the citizens and
residents of Pitkin County, Colorado, to Dr. Allen M. Cochrane and
Dr. Robert C. Lewis, Jr., members of the medical profession duly
licensed to practice within the State of Colorado, that if they
would locate and practice their profession in Pitkin County, Colo-
rado, the said hospital would be immediately acquired and improved
by Pitkin County, Colorado, and operated as a public hospital; and,
whereas, said two doctors have removed from their former respective
residences to said County of Pitkin and are establishing themselves
therein with the understanding that said hospital would be so ac-
quired, improved and operated;
AND, 'JHFREAS, said County of Pitkin is at present without a
public hospital and the nearest public hospitals are located in
the City of Glenwood Springs and vicinity, in Garfield County,
Colorado, about forty -two miles distant, which hospitals are
usually filled to capacity and are sometimes over - crowded; and,
whereas, unless a public hospital be acquired and established by
Pitkin County, Colorado, the inhabitants thereof will be without
hospital accommodations, services and facilities in such county
and likely will be without a resident doctor in Pitkin County,
Colorado; and, whereas, the population of Pitkin County, Colorado,
has increased considerably within the past few months because of
intense resort development, by reason whereof the necessity for
- -2 --
a public hospital therein has become acute and immediate action
should be taken to purchase and establish the same;
;ND, WEERE :3, by reason of the above and foregoing facts,
this Board of County Commissioners are of the opinion that an
emergency exists which must be met and remedied at the earliest
possible moment in order to safeguard and protect the public health,
safety and welfare of the inhabitants of Pitkin County, Colorado;
AND, :[ EREAS, ritkin County, Colorado, has no public hospital
fund and no tax levy has been made for a public hospital; and,
whereas, there are sufficient funds belonging to said County in its
Contingent Fund not needed for other purposes of said County during
the balance of the present fiscal year with which to purchase the
said hospital building and real estate belonging to said Associa-
tion, and to purchase from the said estate the surgical instruments,
equipment, medicines, supplies, hospital equipment and personal pro-
perty located at said building and to apply toward the renovating,
altering, repairing, improving and partially refurnishing said
hospital building;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County
Commissioners of the County of Pitkin, in the State of
Colorado, that an emergency exists in Pitkin County,
Colorado, because of the lack of a public hospital for the
reception, surgical and medical treatment of afflicted
and indigent, and other inhabitants of such county in need
of such treatment, and those who in the future will need
such treatment, and that by reason of the petition pre-
sented to this board signed by the requisite number of
resident freeholders of such County, asking for the estab-
lishment and maintenance of a public hospital in Pitkin
County, Colorado, such a public hospital should be purchased,
established and maintained.
BE IT FURr[ER RESOLVED that a public hospital board should
be and it is hereby appointed to consist of the following
named seven public hospital trustees, who are hereby chosen
from the citizens of Pitkin County, Colorado, at large,
with reference to their fitness for such office, all being
