This delegation called upon the Board to request that such Board ask the State Medical Care Commission to increase the square foot- age to be allotted to the Dunn Health Center from 1800 to 2000 square feet. This delegation assured the Board of Commissioners that if such request was complied with by the Medical Care Commission, and the Medical Care Commission agreed to par- ticipate in a building containing 2,000 square feet on the same basis it had agreed to participate in a building containing 1800 square feet, that they would reimburse the County for its proportionate part of such additional 200 square feet in order that the increase in the size of such building would not cost Harnett County any- thing.
