cost of an ambulance call has been
fixed at $10 for which the family
of the victim is billed first, and
then the village if the family
fails to pay.
Mr. Ballot cited figures given by
the Fulton's as to the number of
times the ambulance has been
called out since May 14 of last
year, and others supplied by Chief
Elar. They differed greatly. The
Fulton report showed 27 police
calls, 12 of which were paid for
by families, nine by the village,
leaving six awaiting settlement,
The Chief reported 15 accidents
in which HP-persons were hurt,
