sp.'to,ers and se\'l!i.ge disposal plants" After annexation the SCl,'Te1"uga
systems have bl3en taken oyer and operated by the city.. A master plan
has been prepared .for the C01Ulty.. 'fhere is a high degree of coopera.tion
between tho govr,=n..nment officiD.ls of Orlando, Winter Parle, and Orange
County.. l~r.. George Simol1s of Jacksonville said tha t mu~h the s.:me thing
h~td been done in that areall Me"tcalf &. Eddy J Enginnel"s. of Bost.on, had
prepared a. drainago and se\-rerage plan for Jacksonville and the surround.-
ing area.. Subdividers are required to provide storm dratnage, sewerage
and s8Nage disposal plants" Industrial districts are being established
ill areas remote "from tihe city.. By legislative act :i.t is illogal to
incorporate new municipalities adjacent to the bowldarie~3 of Jacksonville"
City !vIanager, St3mmea of Pensacola said that tho development of
chemical and \'lOodpulp industry in that section has brought a big in,.
. crease in population to the area" The manufactu~il1g; plants are located
ten miles or more from the city limi'E~s but industry emploJrees \'lant to
live and have settled ~dthin the city or in areaG adjoining the city~
Pensacola has a.dopted a firm policy of ref'usj.ng to furnish utilities
and sel"vices to ad,joining communities uxlless they accept. annexation..
Subdivid~rs are required to provide sanitary seWCl1"3 and st,orm sewers
and ~ust dedicate not less than five percent of the area o~ subdivisions
for parks and recreation. Annexation is sotnetimes unproi'itable to the
ci.ty.. In 1953 three adjoining communities elected to be annexed to
Pensacola.. One. of 'them has cost Pensacola ~6n;oo,., per y'ear for utilities
and servicas and contributes ~~2 f 5"0 par ys'ar in :real estate t.aXEls.

Fein of' \-fashington, D.. C. was ona of the feautrcd 3 peakers of' the
conf'~rence.. He spoke too often and too long, in fact ~-iO much that the
chance for quostions alld discussion was greatly limited. HO\'levor he
did say some things that w~re pertinent and or ini;orest. The present
population of the Unj.ted States is 165,000,000 and it is expected that
in 1975 it trill be 225~OOO,OOO. The fann population is now 20~oon,ono
and by 1975 it is expec1;ed to decline to 15.0nO,ooo~ 'lfhe increase in
population \'r.i.ll bo entirely in urban areas ~ This Hill necesnitaiie
inwense programs of public ~urks for utilities, paving, and services to
meet the increased needs of urban d\'1ellers.. Russia hat=:; 70 people for .
every motor vehicle;f Sri tain 10, and the United States 21f people for .
very mot.or vehicleo The first recorded sale of an nutolUoblle in the
United States was in 1898~ Sixty years later in 1958 ~ffi have 6n.nno,oon
registered vehi.cles, end it is estimated that; 5.n 1975 v{e will have
110,OOO~OOO motor vehicles. These prospect~ call for careful advanced
planning and 'obviously \'lill' necessi.ta1;e' immense expt:Jnditures, both
private and public.. Our population through the influence of the auto.c".,
mobile has become I'ilobile and nomadic 0 The kind of regtonal planning
that '\rill be needed to anticipate these deve~opments has been done ,bes't
in Pittaburg and Atlanta, where there is region~, metropolitan planning
~~hat has gone beyond the boundaries oJ: municipal corporation limits and
has tako~ in, the natural boundaries of much larger area8~
Bar;i.ll who visited with us recently" .predicted that Florida would
be oigh~h in population in the nation by 1970~ He predicted .that ~m
\..'Ould have tho samEt kind of coastal strip developII19nt from Jacksonville
. to MiaIlli that has talten place bet\1een Boston and PhiladGlphia in the
. northea.'J"li, and is taking plac,e bet\'men Los .angfdas and San Francisc'o
on the \llest doast. And he \':arned that unless it ifJ con t,rollc.Hl) ll1uch of
the development, \..ould be undesirable and unslght.ly as it .is in the nort.h-
east Cll'ld on. the west coast ~ Like Carter he emphasized the need for
\iater conserv-ation alHl fOl" prevention at: t1.tomosphl3r:Lc pollution :in
industrial see.t.iono." Over 2 ,000 commuuiti.e s in the country nm'l main-

besides fi~~s, periodicals, and other rererence material. Most city
libraries charge non-residents a .fee for libra~~ carda that entitle
them to "lithdraw' bcolts that are circulated but the fens are usually
nominal and do not cover costso No satisfactory 'l/my has been. found to
charge for reference service and these are given "li_tho1l1~ ehax'ge to

costly than circulating service., Good library f'ac:l,litles c(>st approx-

be provided in small libraries in small communities or branGh libraries..

Tho most .forceful and most interestiing talk of the meei~ing \\fClS given
by Everett Jones of' Fto Myers Beach on i~otiropoli.t;"m Health and Hospital
Service.. J.Jlr. JaneG is a hospital consultant and advisor a.nd' sorves on
the Board of one of' the large Chicago 'hosp.ltals... He said. t.hati in areas
such as ours hospitals must be organ!zed on u r~gional basis rather
than so organized as to confine their services to f.I. small CQ!'pl")l'.'H:te area..
There should be regional hospital co~mcils that coordinate and to come .
extent supervise ~he activities of all of the hospitals in a given area..
They' should plan future haspi tal needs as school boards plan .future
school requirements. Contral nursing schools connectod 1'11 th local
colleges and hospitals should be established :I.n each area but it is
not necessary to have a nursing school ~n each hospital" There should
be psychiatric service available in each area in one hospital but it
is not necessary to furnish it in all hospitals i.ll an area.. Geriatric
patients should be cared for in nurDing homos convenient.. to hospitals
and served by their staffs. Duplication of many sorvices such as the
above should be avoided by the hospitals in a given area that are super-
vised by a regional hospit..al council to in the interest of economy and
better service to patients.. Uniform accounting methods should be used
by all of' the hospitals in such an :U"OlL. 'l'he most expensive waste in
hospitals are ompty bedso na~s should be occupied by acute patien~s,
and not by long term patients, geriatrics, or p.sltitlnts'who could be
ambulatory, oX' cared for adequately at homeo In the average hospital
.15 to 20 pt3rccmt of 'che beds are occupied by pati9nts of' those .types
'\no should not be thero. The Clty o.f lilillffiultoe gives excellent hospital
service to that area with 4.6 hospital beds per 1000 populationa New
Orleans' with 10 hospital beds per 1000 rosidents gives poorer S81"vice
than Milwailkeeo
