AMBULANCE CAUSES CONSERVATION.
Smallpox Wagon on Staten Island May Be
Subject of Litigation.

People living back OF Sailors Snug Harbor Staten
Island. much excited yesterday when they
learned that for days the Department of Healths
smallpox ambulance had been close by. Conpli-
cations likely TO arise. DR. Sprague. who is at
the head OF the Department of Health in Richmond
Borough. will have his force operating In the neigh
borhood to-day. Il is said. and there likely to
be some interesting Developments
The ambulance built year ago. It was
used forty times to carry victims OF smallpox 1t
contained rubber mattress and some woollen blan-
kets in which each Of the forty sufferers were
wrapped while being transported to the dock to be
removed to North Brother Island An important
point IS that. owing TO lack OF facilities, neither
ambulance. mattress nor blankets have ever been
funligated. and may be full of germs.
While the ambulance In it stored in
a shed near the 5. r. Smith Inhrmary at New
Brighton. When the disease was stamped out the
wagon stored in the abandoned garbage
crematory back OF New Brighton.
Recently the building and its contents were sold
70 James .. Sullivan. contractor OF Tyson-st..
Snug Harbor. FOR SIS President Cromwell says
that in receipting for the money he said it was
received for the crematory and its contents eX
cept the Health Department wagon.
Now it appears that Mr.. Sullivan consulted a
lawyer and they compared the sale with the ad
vertisement and the lawyer advised that. under
the advertisement OF sale. the purchase included
the wagon. MI. Sullivan accordingly removed the
ambulance to his private stables back of Snug
Harbor. Yesterday the Department OF Health
heard Of the sale of the old crematory and at once
sent q man with a. team of horses TO gets it's
wagon There was no wagon at the crematory
The police were informed and after n few hours
detective work the ambulance was found in Sulli-
vans yard Dr. Sprague was informed. and rushed
force OF sanitary squad men to the scene. and
then called on Captain Naly for aid. which
promised.
Sullivan. after some hot words between him and
the officers sent 10 get the ambulance, finally de
cIded 10 turn the wagon over to the health author
tiles.
The ambulance was then taken 10 the county
farms. where it will be kept in the stables
being constructed for the Board of Health
covery the property. Il Is said
DR.. Spra que has ordered Sullivans premises
quarantined and this morning force of will
start to disinfect the place. All of the members
OF the family who have not already been
cinated will be to-day.
