taken to and from the hospital in the
city vehicle according to the orders,
but no persons will be hauled to or
from private hospitals, or to the city
hospital if they are able to pay.
City officers who are on ambulance
duty have been instructed in all cases
to learn before taking the patient
whether or not the party is able to
pay, and if so to refuse to take them,
except in accident cases.
Superintendent Condor agrees
heartily with the plan of Mayor Meals,
and said that if the hospital had its
own ambulance, funs turned in from
patients able to pay for its use would
in all probability provide for the main
tenance of the car.
The hospital superintendent quoted
figures of the expenses and receipts
from this source in other hospitals and
in one instance more than $50 were
cleared each month, from the use or
the ambulance. He also gave in
stances fother cities much smaller in
size in comparison with Harrisburg,
having up-to-date ambulances for the
public hospitals. and in a number OF
cases, being operated without cent
of additional expense to the institu-
ton.
In many of these cities, also the hos
pitals are not so large as the local
one and the number of patients cared
for each year much less than here.
