We wish to say a special "Thank You" for directing, at the same time, our beautiful driveways into the hospital parking lots. We are grateful for these nice bl8.ck-tÖp entrances since the highway was elevated and the- approach was difficult for all drivers com5.ng to the hospital. I It should also be mentioned that the black-top has eliminated considerable dust in the hospital which makes it a cleaner atmosphere for the :r.:a tients and guests, and also an asset to our surgery where dust was a hazard to the air conditioner. We hope to serve the Community in the best way possible and your kindness and consideration in this matter will help to make it a better place for our pö.tients as well as a safety device for all person entering or leaving the hospital.
