ambulance subsidy based on resident calls only distres ses me the whole ambu lance problem today is a cause lor concern to all who drive or ride in automobiles all are potential users o this emergency service the difiiculties of course arise because it is impos sible to make an efficient am bulance service a paying proposition this is partly caused by the all too preva lent attitude ol get away with what you can and by failure of various govern ments to face up to their responsibilities it does seem absurd for laws to allow an unconscious person to refuse to pay lor an ambulance service he re quired and received just be cause he could not order it hmielf it seems just as foolish for a town council 3 to be so narrowminded there must be more stouflville residents who need an ambulance outside of the boundary limits than within it is to be hoped that other municipalities will not follow this example perhaps others may even refuse to give stouflville residents service in their areas
