Mr. Olson, assisted by L. E. Shaughnessy, next explained to the Board the Hospital
Association's proposal for county financing to construct a hospital. -According to the
proposal the county would float a bond issue of approximately $700,000.00 to finance
construction of a hospital and then lease the hospital to the Washburn Hospital
Association. The Association.would pay an annual amount for rental sufficient to amorti e
the indebtedness. The hospital would contribute approximately $100,000.00 in cash
toward the project together with approximately $100,000.00 worth of equipment.
Title to the hospital would remain in the name of Bayfield County until the in-
debtedness incurred by the county would be paid in full. After the final payment of the
debt the title to the hospital.would be transferred to the Washburn Hospital Association
