He appealed’ to ‘employees at
the meeting not. to place their

communiy,

To back up his statement that

the provincial government would

not provide money for the hos-
pital building program © unless
the bylaws were amended, Mr.
Kilgour read excerpts from three
provincial governinent letters, -

From Mr, Pitkethly: dated
June 6, 1960;

“"T believe you are aware that
your hospital bylaws: fall short
of mecting the, ‘standard — re-

would have.been, made and the

Mr. Pitkethly, June 16, 1960:.:

. I must speak quite frankly
on ‘this subject (revision of the
bylaws) and say. that it is most

likely that the lack of acceptable
bylaws will delay your building
program. I think you must agree
that it is unreasonable for a hos-

to put up the major portion of
the cost of a building program

None of these letters had pre-
viously been released by the
hospital board so that the pub-
lic would know the situation.

S. A. McCready termed. the
health minister’s stand on the
withholding of provincial funds
until the bylaws were amended,
a-“snide form of blackmail.” He
said he couldn’t see where the
votes of a small number of hos-
pital employees could control an

association which was open to}:
