The Hill-Burton act ^auld supply federal money to enlarge the present facilities in these hospitals if they so desired. The larger hospitals have been di- vided into twp classifications, base and intermediate, in proportion to the population of their area. Three a.e in base areas, where the popula tion is at least 100,000, and the other five selected are in the intermediate areas, where the population is at least 25,000. Laurens and two other ) counties are in the Greenville region, 1 where the Gaston, Coleman, Green- 1 ville General, St. Francis, Working Benevolent Society, and Maternity! Shelter hospitals serve the district. The hospital division determined the population of Laurens county- ; by a combination of the 1940 federal- census,^ unofficial 1943 qensus bas-i |ed on ration books. and the estimated'| population for the state in 1947. Con- j-version orf these three figures mto-j “ j one gave a total population for Lau-j t j tens county of 41,071 persons, which, with the ratio of 2.5 beds per 1,000 in | rural areas, brings Laurens county’s basic quota of hospital beds to 103.* Since the state as a whole is entitled | to 8,474 general hospital beds,..and since the total allocation of these beds to. the counties is 6,186, a "state - pool" of 2,288 surplus beds remains. 1 i These surplus beds have been dis-] I triiouted among the counties in rela- I tion to their buying power, and -this percentage times the total number] of surplus beds gives the county 45 more beds than its allocation by population, or a total of 72 beds, de ducting those already available. The hospital division stated that buying power was chosen as the basis for allocating ‘‘state pool” hospital that the use of, and consequently bods because i n vest i gait ion indicated the need for, hospital beds depends j on the amount -of money available to purchase hospital service. Con tinuing, the hospital division report 1 added, “it is realized that several of. thr spiallgi; fountjpe may not be abli ; to build and support a hospital of a - size and character consistent with efficient and economical operation.] Consequently, they may wish to join with one or more counties to build j ; and operate a central hospital serving | the entire area of combined coun- - ties. Otherwise they may decide to I build a community clinic containing diagnostic facilities and equipping to care for normal obsterics, certain types of medical cases, emergency care of accident cases, et "cetra., and closely affiliate this clinic with some hospital to which patients may be re^ ferred for services not'available in the community clinic.” And, concluding its reference to general hospital areas, the report states, “since the area > or county,, must pay two-thirds ot the cost of construction and the .entire cost of ■ ■.
