patrol wagon. 1t is an old subject, I
know, and one that has been discussed
and agitated until worn o1it. But that is
what makes it appear strange to me-that
after all this agitation, we are still with
out our conveyance. People who are
wounded or injured on the streets and
have to be taken to the Receiving Hos
pital, are thrown into an express wagon
and have what little life is in them
shaken out before arriving at the hospital.
Now, it was only the other night that
we felt the need of an ambulance, very
forcibly. 1t was when that case of small
pox was discovered at Sixth and M
streets. OF course, no hackman, or owner
of any other vehicle would take the job of
removing the sufferer to the pesthouse,
and we finally had to send way out to the
County Hospital for an old, rickety
wagon that they have out there. If there
was an ambulance, all that time would
have been saved and the city not exposed
to the dread disease.

now for hauling drunks and injured
persons, would, if bulked, purchase half

1t looks to me like criminal negligence
on the part of the city government,
not to provide us with one of
these. Why look at the fix we
were in this afternoon when that tragedy
occurred at Third and L streets. We had
to get down there the best we could, and
after we got there we were over an hour
in getting conveyance to take one Of the
wounded persons to the Receiving Hos

the hospital in comparatively few min
