The court also approved a contract
with Axley and Rode for auditing aer-
Vice*, at a coat of $11,MO, the aame
price aa last yaar’a contract, and can-
vaaaed the returns of the Nugents Cove

' In bid activity, the court accepted a
bid of $28,866 with trade-in from
Fanner's Supply, the only bid
on the purchase of a crawler
Precinct 4; accepted the
$•,300 each from Moore
Plymouth-Dodgf on the pure
pickup trucks, one for Precinct 1 and
the other for Precinct 4 and accepted an
Itemised bid from Reeves Tire, the only
bid received on the purchase of tires
and tubes.
Although lower prices were offered
on all but oil, commissioners opted to
accept the bid of Stubbs Petroleum on
the purchase of gas, oil and grease.
Harrell, who made the motion to accept
Stubbs' bid, stressed the company's
past service as the reason for his ac-
ince, Predip §

products from a
fid of the county,

ime prices as those quoted in
the accepted bid.
Commissioners opted to readvertise
for bids on crushed rock, altering the
specifications to include sandstone as a
possible base material.
The court tabled action of acceptance
of asphalt bids until the Precinct 3 com-
missioner could determine whether he
could obtain asphalt from a company in
his area for a comparable price.
Private hospital study begins
Thefts under investigation
LIVINGSTON - Two
thefts and ah apparent at-
tempted theft are currently
under investigation by Liv-
ingston Police officers.
) A 1979 Datsun, belonging
to Clovis Earl Sanford of Liv-
ingston was reported miss-
ing Saturday. The vehicle,
yrhich was parked at Pine
Hill Apartments, was ap-
parently taken sometime
between Jan. 21 and Satur-
day. Sanford told the in-
vestigating officer that the
keys were not left in the car.
The Datsun had personalized
license plates with the let-
ters "KTOY.” Sgt. Jim Har-
wood is the investigating of-
ficer.
Also under investigation is
the theft of a chain saw from
Lawrence Saw Co. on East
Mill Street. The saw was
reportedly rented for one
day on Jan. 17 but had still
not been returned on Satur-
day, when it was reported
stolen. It was later learned
that the saw had been pawn-
ed by a subject named Lisa
Taylor a/k/a Lisa Henson,
according to Police Chief
Larry Macomber. Charges
have not yet been filed, pen-
ding review by the county at-
torney. Investigator Chris
Gentz worked the case.
Junior High School Prin-
cipal D.D. Golden reported
Tuesday that his 1976 Ford
pickup truck had been
removed from in front of his
residence on North Pine
Street. An unsuccessful at-
tempt had been made to "hot
wire” the vehicle, according
to the police chief. Apparent-
ly, when an attempt to start
the truck without a key fail-
ed, the suspect took the truck
out of gear and pushed or
rolled the vehicle. It was
recovered a short distance
from where it was reported
missing, parked in the lane
of traffic. Sgt. Harwood was
the investigating officer.

keep their prices as low as possible. 'If
I was the ABC corporation and I In-
vested 918 million in a hospital. I would
be more concerned about prices and
making people happy that a hospital
district that has the taxpayers to fall
back upon."
Phillips countered that with
stockholders to satisfy, a private group
would be more concerned with making
a profit than a publicly controlled
hospital would be.
Bergman, who made the motion to
open the door to the for-profit groups,
said he wanted to look at what they had
to offer before he made any decision.
"I’m not saying that this is what I’m in
favor of, but I do want to look at it. If we
decide to call a bond election, and I’m
out their trying to convince people to
support it, I want to be able to answer
all their questions."
Board member Laura Martin also
voiced support for “listening to the pro-
posals” from the for-profit groups. “I
don’t particularly want a for-profit
hospital to operate here, but I do want
to hear what they’re going to tell me.”
Dr. Larry Santitlo of Onalaaka, the
hnapttal's new chief of staff, told the
board that whatever decision is made,
It needs to be made soon. It was pointed
out that the number of patients being
•omitted to the local hospital has
declined in recent months which in turn
causes a financial burden on the
district. "What it takes to keep the
hospital full is doctors - not Just the six
doctors we now have. And to get new
doctors, particularly the specialists,
there first has to be a large enough
practice to support them and an ade-
quate hospital facility.”
Santillo said that it will be very dif-
ficult, if not Impossible, to attract
specialists to Livingston until a new
hospital is built. He pointed out that
when construction began on a new
hospital in Huntsville, that community
had 12 physicians. When the facility
was completed, that number had more
than doubled.
"Young doctors coming out of school
want to practice in a place where they
can utilize all the high tech training
they received - a place to practice their
skills. They can’t find that here with our
present facility,” Santillo said. He
pointed out that the present operating
room is totally inadequate for an or-
thopedic surgeon and other specialists.
"Frankly, had I known that It was going
to take this long to get a new hospital,]
probably wouldn’t have moved to this
area myself."
Bergman agreed with Santillo and
told the board that they must move for-
ward and make a decision as soon at
possible. "We need to find out about this
(the for-profit proposals) and get on
with it."
In related action, the board voted to
put the 22-acre site purchased In 1982 up
for sale. That land, located on the north
side of Livingston, had been purchased
as the site for the proposed new hospital
but a study performed last fall by AHS
engineers indicated that it was inade-
quate.
“Hopefully, we can get the $88,000
paid for it back and put it in a CD,”
Martin said.
Following a closed, executive ses-
sion, the board also approved a policy
recommendation from Santillo clarify-
ing the function of backup physicians in
the hospital emergency room.
