B. Nickles, chief of the medical staff, told tiie group. Speaking for the medical staff. Dr. Nickles also offered figures on medical costs, saying the prices for medicines and services at the hos pital were “way out of line.” “One patient at the hospital was charged $12 a quart for blood which was donated to the hospital,” he said, in presenting figures to the group. . M. S. Boyd, chairman of the board, informed the group that the county had approximately $38,000 in charity work last year. "Of the $38,000, the county had an appropriation of $12,000,” he said. “The hospital had t© assume the remainder of $26,000 in charity work,” he added. Mr. Boyd sadi the hospital has tried every way possible to cope with the situation, but that the only way out was to increase charges. The medical staff said that the bills of the average patient, for similar type services, have increas ed from 25 to 50 per cent during the past two years. W. S. Beacham, hospital admin istrator, said the question of ex penses in a hospital were based on two points. First, he said, was to get enouh money to meet costs, and secondly, to decide how to most fairly distribute charges. Dr. J. F. Dusenberry said, “the few paying should not have to pay for chanty. He added that some drugs and other medicines were priced so that the hospital was mak ing 300 or more per cent over the cost. Boyd said that the hospital so far this year has had a gross income of about $75,000 and a gross expense of $85,000. "The picture looks worse for the future,” he added. Hospital officials said that from 60 to 75 per cent of all charity pa- MOUHTVILLE NEWS Miss Barbara Chapman of Clem- son, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Berry of Greenville were recent guests of Mr. and Mrs. C .L.

One case was cited by a doctor of a man making $60 per week who was referred from the lower county area to the Laurens County Hospital as a charity patient.
