The letter added that in many Guelph buildings. the elevators were not large enough to accommodate a stretch- er when the patient was required to be kept flat. The let- ter was sent to all Ontario cities having a population of 50.000 or greater,, _ . If a person 'had to be taken out of Waterloo's Marsland Centre on a stretcher, none of the three elevators would be able to properly accommodate it. The stretcher would either have to be placed crosswise or vertically in the elevator. or carried down the stairs. Council‘s committee of the whole learned this Monday night from the city's building inspector. Walter G. Scheifele. The issue was raised when a letter from the City of Guelph was presented at the meeting. The letter requested Waterloo council‘s endorsement of the following resolution: "That .:.the Ministry of Con- sumer and Commercial relations give serious considera- tion to the inclusion in the Ontario Building Code of a set of standards that will make it mandatory in all buildings served by elevators that at least one elevator be of such dimensions and accessibility as to permit a standard size stretcher being conveyed by two stretcher bearers." "The building department completely supports this resolu- tion." said Mr. Scheifete. He told couneirs committee of the whole that Marsland Centres elevators are only six feet long. which could only accommodate a stretcher crosswise.
