Safeway Victoria Hospital study build Here pay anyway says professor a new Victoria Hospital in win Peg will create permanent jobs or an extra 350 people earning million annually and Gener the hours of construction Ork paying million in rages according to an econom is expert. Or. H. C. Associate professor in the department of economics at the University of Manitoba was engaged by the Ospital to determine what Finan Ial contribution a new building Rould make to the Community. The Hospital has sent his report o the provincial health depart ment to metro and to the City of Winnipeg in Hopes his findings ill Lead to a solution of the i Ancial deadlock holding up the Ospital s reconstruction pro ram. Victoria needs about Mil Ion to cover its statutory 20 per ent share of conversion from a 50-bed to a 300-bed Hospital. Urgent need the conversion program was recommended in the Willard re Ort which described it As an urgent need and proposed that Iii lying be started Early in 1962. Twice the Hospital approached he City of Winnipeg for a Grant o cover the Money needed. The first request was denied and the second shelved. The Hospital has not been Able o raise the million and so Annot get the Manitoba Hospital commission s approval to Start building. Nor can the balance of 0 per cent financed in various Vays by the Federal and Provin Ial governments be acquired until the Hospital finds its 20 per ent share. Or. Pentland used several Erent bases in calculating the construction employment effect. On additional permanent jobs he estimates the larger Hospital will engage 200 extra employees who vill generate employment for a Urther 150 bus Drivers clerks eachers and others providing services. His report says there is a considerable shortage of Hospital facilities in Winnipeg. Additional facilities would be used fully at he outset while All other Hospi als in Winnipeg would continue o operate at maximum capacity ays the report. No additional outlay he stresses that a local once or All contribution of million Oward a new Hospital will be matched by Federal and Provin Ial contributions and guarantees i million which is paid with it any additional outlay by local to was True someone still has o pay for it but whatever pay no Winnipeg people were going o do they would have to do any Way. And refusing to allow hospitals to be built in Winnipeg was lot going to save them anything. The Money has in any event previously been taken from the taxpayers and is going to be spent somewhere Portage Dauphin or Brandon if not Winnipeg he argues. If people could t get Hospital care in Winnipeg they d presumably seek it elsewhere in Mani Toba. And funds available for hos vital construction would similarly diverted to other Points in Manitoba and would generate employment there. He says Hospital care can be regarded As a fabulous kind of tourist Trade with a steady Supply of big time spend ers at the rate of or More a Day whose cheques Are always Ood and whose Bills Are paid by Money that is going to be taken rom taxpayers including those in Winnipeg anyway. The Only question is whether Giese super tourists Are going to accommodated in Winnipeg where Many want to go Anc from a medical viewpoint prob Bly should go or whether they la e forced to go to other places More Cater to greater Winnipeg is the source f 75 per cent or More of All direct taxes collected in Manitoba e says. This meant it was also be source of 75 per cent of All ederal payments to Manitoba made either directly or through be provincial government. It could also be assumed metro Winnipeg paid More than half in province s Revenue from Gaso Ine and liquor taxes and vehicle and Driver licences. Metro Winnipeg residents Houldin t feel guilty about accept from senior governments expenditures on hospitals several Imes direct local he says.

Reel better to for the most part they la merely be receiving Money that members of the Community paid out originally in taxes. Ii they Don t build hospitals their tax Money will still be removed but More of it will go to build and operate hospitals he says it is much More Likely that Hospital expenditures in smaller Manitoba communities Are paid for by Winnipeg tax Money than the reverse. If Winnipeg continues its fail ure to take advantage of the exceptional opportunities available to Benefit its Economy As Well As health by building hospitals it should t feel resentful of other communities that show More per he concludes.
