Matters Considered
Tihe Village Trustees, at a meet-

against the purchase and mainten-ance
of an ambulance by the vil-lage.
Instead, it wss decided to
continue to use the private ambu-lance
of Chester A. Fulton & Son
for police calls when required. The
service has been given for the past
twenty years. The vill-age pays $10
per call unless the ambulance
patient pays the cost himself. As
there were only 78 culls last year,
,t is beMeved no more inexpentiive
method can be devised for giving
prompt and adequate service here.
