are equipped with stretchers flags, and
drivers Chairman Hickling announced
that the army ambulances would probably
be sufficient for the needs of the commit
tee, and il such was the case, it would not
be necessary TO weaken the city's force by
using other ambulances. which would be
required for the usual needs.
