Mooresville's going to get a new hospital.
Iredell Memorial Hospital I know they need some
rearranging and they need some more room in the surgical
part. What I maintain is that they have enough money
already to do it. They have $2w million in cash. They
admit that. Anybody dispute that? They have $2§ million
in cash. They admit that they are making $2 million this
year. $1.7 in net profit plus the rest in interest on
$2k million. They'll make $2 million next year and $2
million the next. By then, they'll have $8 to $10 million
on hand, and then when they get they money, do like the rest
of us. Pay as you go.
Folks, we've made this poll. We had people sign it,
too. Put their address, Here are the names. Six hundred
of them right here. We've got the rest of them, and we're
going to poll everybody in Iredell County. Now the results
of our poll --we have personally contacted face to face 1,200
people. 1,102 people are against it. 22 to 1. Do we
need to waste out time and money voting on this? I don't
think we want to ask Iredell Memorial to spend the money
to promote these bonds. It's going to take a lot of money
to promote the bonds. A lot, thousands of dollars. I
want to find out one thing else, then I'm through.
The Epley Company, whey they made this poll, I haven't
heard much about it recently, but there were three provisions
and somebody here from the Eply Company, you correct me if I'm
wrong. That, let me do this first.
