Mayor H. M. Daggett presided over the meeting and there was an al most full attendance of both bodies. The two principal points of difference were in regard to whether the hospital should contribute on a basis equal to i the city to the payment of the j $200 monthly salary of the am- bulance operator who also actsj as supervisor of the public rest-rpom and whether the ambulance call fee should be $5 or less. The final decision was that the hospital board should pay 50-50 with the council on the basis of the $200 salary-The $5 fee was adopted. Decision on both points was by divided vote. The terms of the agreement are: The ambulance shalj be operated by a committee consisted of two appointees each of the council and hospital board who shall select a chairman. Fees for ambulance trips to Uhe .hospital hall .becollected by the Jiospltal auinonues, ine ambulance driver to collect fees of patients from the hospital or of calls In which the hospital is not involved. Individual members of the committee shall not be responsible financially in connection with operation of the' ambulance. The operator shall keep a log containing data as to number of calls and other information.

The British leader told the House of Commons this morning that the Germans are using new long range rocket bombs but he emphasized that little damage has been done so far. Mr. Churchill told the house that one of the firing sites of this new terror weapon has beeil overrun on Walcheren Island by the Canadian First Army. The Prime Minister explained that the new bombs carry the same amount of explosive as the flying bombs of last summer. But V-2 flics through the stratosphere) at a, height of 60 or 70 miles above the earth and the speed attained by the new weanon outstrios sound. For that reason, he said, there is no way to give reliable or sufficient public warning. Mr. Churchill added that, although the Oermans have been employing V-2 for several weeks now, the government has censored all mention of the mlssle In order to avoid giving Information to the enemy. The new missiles have fallen at widely scattered points and cannot te aimed at exact targets They land at such great speed that their damaging effect Is not as great as buzz bombs. Each missile carries about one ton of explosive. j Mr. Churchill termed -highly j colored" accounts of the V-2 j "flying telegraph pole'' bombard- j ment broadcast by the, Germans during the past two days.. He said they; indicated the Germans were in desperate need to give the home front encouragement. "We cannot be certain that the enemy will not be able to increase the range of the rockets," he said. "There Is, however, no need to exaggerate the danger." , Berlin announced today that V-2 bombs were being us'cdj against .Antwerp, principal city i of the Allied winter campaign.
