Trochu Auxiliary and Nursing Home Area had been established
taking in a portion of the Elnora General Hospital District

Hospital works wells The doctors practice in both
hospitals and the Trochu Auxiliary and Nursing Home serves
both the Trochu and Elnora areas There was discussion
about the request by the M D to create wards in the Trochu
Hospital District so that an election would be held to elect

and Mr. Hoppins noted none of the suggested solutions appear
to be really workable
He noted the Hospital is operated by a 7 member Governing
Board appointed by the owners of the hospital - the Sisters
of Charity and the District Board is composed of 5 members -

the subdivision application submitted by Mr Sam Megli for APPLICATION
NW 25- 30 -25 -4

owns to the north and that portion of the quarter lying to
the south west

commercial building

the erosion of the hills due to the number of motor bikes
being operated on the land nearly every weekend and about
