AMBULANCE NEED
GROWS URGENT
Private Conveyance For Har-
risburg Hospital Urged by
City Health Head

A private ambulance for the Har-
risburg Hospital and a municipality
owned ambulance In the fire depart
ment is the plan advanced by DR.. j.
NJ. j. Raunick, city health officer, in
discussing the orders issued by Mayor
E. s Meals that the police ambulance
should only be used to haul prisoners
and persons injured in accidents.
DR.. Raunick in his annual report
for 1915 criticized the present system
and declared IL unsanitary and a dis
grace for a city the size of Harris
burg. To-day he stated that the hos
pital as well as the city should have
an ambulance and that this vehicle
should not be used to haul drunks,
panhandlers and other criminals.
He olso favors volunteer medical
service for an ambulance when oper-
ated in connection with the fire de-
partment. and said that II a private
ambulance were purchased for the
hospital. a resident physician would
always be sent along with the vehicle
in answering any calls.
An extensive campaign to raise
funds for an ambulance for the hos
pital is also favored by DR.. Raunick.
One of his suggestions is 20 have a
stamp sale, similar to the Red Cross
idea, and another, to have Tag
Day"
THE sooner the hospital has its
own ambulance and the city an
emergency one, the better" he de-
clared. Harrisburg is far behind
many other enterprising cities much
smaller in size.
