Comments in the audit "were meant to be constructive," Dodini explained, and he briefly discussed the comments~ pertaining to the general hospital and road department. On the hospital, he said "numerous problems exist that have existed a long time. .Accounts receivable always are a major problem with a general hospital."

The supervisors delayed action on Larue's request and said they. want to study this situation further.

Thomas said "As long as prices are close or the same, we should do all we can to support the local business community. When they are far apart, even they have to recognize this," In this case, the state buys many cars,.so obtains a low volume price and can sell to the county cheaper than local dealers can.
