307 <br />' Committee to draw up rules in relation to the new Ambulance <br />appeared at the meeting held on Aug. 15th with the exception <br />of Dr. Walsh, who is out of town. They were all in agreement <br />that it should be used exclusively for emergency cases, such <br />cases to be determined by the Police Department or by any <br />physician in the Town. They felt the fees to be charged should <br />be left to the Selectmen to determine. Mr. Rowse asked if <br />they make any recommendations relative to charges and Mr. <br />Potter said they felt they should be the same as the fees <br />charged for other ambulances. Mr. Potter said they had <br />considered the matter of contagious cases but felt that <br />very seldom contagious cases were emergency cases and this <br />question was not apt to arise. If it is an emergency, they <br />felt it should be used, but thought this type of case <br />would be rare. <br />Mr. Rowse moved that the Chief of Police, the Chief of <br />the Fire Dept. and all the physicians in town be sent a copy <br />of the following regulations "That the ambulance is to be <br />usedexclusively for emergency cases, such cases to be <br />determined by the Police Department or by any physician <br />in the Town, the charges for the use of the ambulance to <br />be the same as the standard rates of private concerns". Mr. <br />Locke seconded the motion and it was so voted. <br />Mr. Potter said that the Chief of the Fire Dept. would <br />keep a record of the uses of the ambulance, that is, where <br />it went, how long it took, the amount of gas used, etc. and <br />would inform the Board each time it was used so that the <br />bills could be sent out by the Selectmen. <br />Mr. Potter was requested to get the necessary information <br />as to the standard charges made by private owners. <br />The meeting adjourned at 1Ot20 P.M. <br />A true record, Atteatt <br />Asst. Clerk. <br />1 <br />
