PAGE TWO CITY COUNCIL AMBULANCE ORPHANED AS COUNCIL RESCINDS PACT WITH HOSPITAL BD. The ne city ambulance be- fees of $5 for stretcher cases and ( came temporarily an orphan last $3 for walking cases be charged, night when city council in the i This was approved by council course of a turbulent debate, re clnded its earlier adoption of the recommendations contained in the report of the joint ambulance committee. After a debate, which tore the report apart but failed to reassemble it, council threw up its hands and referred it to a jolno meeting of city council and the full hospital board which will be called in the near future. Alderman Hills, chairman of city council's section of the ambulance committee, charge a bluntly that "the hospital board doesn't want anything to do with the ambulance." Chief objection to the report, which was passed with a few minor rumblings at a special council meeting Tuesday, was the alleged failure of the hospital board to honor Its original agreement to share equally with the city the payment of the $200 a. month salary of the ambulance driver. Alderman Hills read minutes of an earlier meeting of the joint ambulance committee wherein It was agreed that both parties share payment of the $200 sal- Tuesday and recinded by council IAS i w h wimh mm but was later nullified when they failed to redraft the report. At the cSnclusion of the debate Alderman Rudderham moved that, since the joint ambu. ance committee was not a functioning body, the cost of bills already charged to it for the purchase of equipment should be paid by the city. "It's a good thing I didn't meet with the hospital board earlier this week as I intended," Alderman Hills remarked. "Otherwise the agreement would have been signed and we would have been stuck with something we apparently don't want." A court of revision consisting of Mayor II. M. Daggett and Aldermen Rudderham and Arnold will sit on November 15 to give final approval to the 1944 civic voters' list.

In order to reconsider this clause council was forced to re-clnd the whole report. "The report appears ambiguous anyway," Alderman Arnold declared. "The ambulance com mlttee recommended a $200 a month salary, then changed It to $150. They are apparently trying to tell us how much we should pay the driver for looking after the city rest room as well." The clause recommending u flat $5 fee for use of the' ambulance also, underwent considerable mauling as council members struggled to redraft the report. In spite of Alderman Hills statement that the Compensation Board, Insurance companies and Industrial concerns: expected to pay the $5 fee, Alderman Elliott maintained that a $3 fee for jrtretcher cases and a $2 fee for walking cases was sufficient. 'The public bought the ambulance so they shouldn't have to pay too much to use it," he asserted. "The $2,800 subscribed by the citizens didn't cover the cost of buying It, so It won't pay the $3,000 a year required to operate it," Alderman Hills retorted. Alderman Arnold moved that The Kinsmen's Club of Prince Rupert may erect a welcome sign along the highway at the city outskirts, council decided. Permission has been granted by the provincial government for the city to take steps to fin ance the construction of a sewer on Ninth Ave. Long Distance Phone Service The British Columbia Telephone Co., In a communication last night, expressed the opinion to the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce that it was doubtful if a military wire on the telegraph system to Prince Rupert could be obtained for commercial long distance telephone use as long as the war was on but it was a matter which might be taken up with the federal government. It was possible that some of the existing military wires might become avail able for civilian use after the war was oyer. Congestion on Icng-dlstance telephone services has been general durln? the past year, the communica tion said-Such congestion was net peculiar to Prince Rupert.

The protection of these convoys is the (penalized job of Canada's Navy. History will record the magnificent manner in which it has been performed Indeed, in protecting convoy after convoy, Canada has forged another essential link between these two grtat comrades-in-arms, John Bull and Uncle Sam.
