LOOKS LIKE OPERA BUS.

To many persons tf.r ordinary hospital
ambulance is suggestive of the dreaded
fever wagon of europe which always
struck terror to tf4e hearts of those who
saw il pass by. often heavily loaded. The
public ambulance, with ats steadily ringing
bell, attracts attention. and is open to
the gaze of the curiously inclined. The up
to-date private ambulance resembles either
a private opera bus or an ordinary auto
mobile. Its driver shows a small board
with its name on to obtain for it the
right of way. and it arrives and departs so
is near. Its interior is upholstered in cheer
designed and operated by woman carries
always bunch Of pink blossoms where the
patient can see them. 1t has a medicine
chest. uitn everything in it likely TO be
needed in an emergency, a n ice box con-
an electric fan.
These private ambulances are used a
great deal by patients coming by train or
boat to New York to have the advantages
of the city hospitals. When a train comes
in bearing patient the ambulance is
there promptly on time to meet il. y
stretcher Is carried to a side window Of
the car, the window suddenly lifted. the
pa tient carefully placed on the strercher
and the stretcher bearing the patient is
quickly returned to the waiting ambulance.
The whole performance takes about four
minutes. 1t is little more difficult 10 turn
the narrow stairs and handle a patient to
remove him from a steamship, but this is

DEFECT IN THE SYSTEM.

The unequal distribution of ambulances

AmbuanCes have been distributed to suit

Of the people. and the result is large dis

the 2nlbulances are situated to have
very short runs. while others are compelled

Sometimes call comes to a hospital
when ali its ambulances are out, and be-
cause there is 10 central control the call
is left TO wait until some ambulance

being sent in elsewhere II often happens
that all the physicians are engaged in op

The patrolman who sends in a call for an
ambulance has no way OF knowing where
the ambulance is at that time, and so can
not tell when he viii get a Response. There

Headquarters It is evident that much suf-

Last year q bill was passed to remedy
the defects OF the present system. but its
regulations have not been enforced because
of lack Of funds. says Bailey B. Burrtt
of the State Charities Aid Associate
This bill provided for board Of ambulance

Police, the Commissioner of Public Chari-
ties, the president of the board Of trustees
Of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals and two
citizens appointed by the Mayor.
This board is supposed to exercise general
control over and TO establish rules and
