More than 10000 complaints were
made to the department during the
last twelve months, but the NUM-

Few Of these are traceabIe to

ing the past twelve months the extent
of our service is summarized as fol-
lows: Responded to 12l calls or an
average Of one call every " hours
throughout the year, Sundays includ-
ed. Covered a total Of 1886 miles
or an average of 107 miles per call.
Cases have been varied, including
automobile accidents, appendicitis,
maternity, gun-shot, fractured limbs,
fractured skull, railroad accidents,
burns, poisoning, malignant cases, etc.
The most prevalent cases, however,
have been automobile accidents, ap-
pendicitis and maternity cases. Calls
have ben distributed as fOllows:-
Smyrna District, q, Clayton district
II, Kenton-DOwns Chapel district, 8
Townsend -Blackbird district, II, Mid

Twenty-one of our calls have included

miles without a stop and in continu-
Gus service with crew for a period of
% consecutive hours. Contributions
or donations received from patrons
directly served have amounted to S535
The expense of maintenance of the
ambulance has amounted to SS36.52
or S301.52 more than has been receiv-
ed through direct receipts of services
rendered. The service to date has
cost an average of 21 cents per mile
with the best half of the life of our
vehicle gone. Our contributions re-
ceived have taken care Of only cents
of the q cents per mile of operating
costs. From reports from hospitals
in the case of 43 runs, minutes saved
by our immediate ambulance service
as compared with delays of train SER
vice as we'll as the inconvenience of
both train and private automobiles
has saved the lives of the patients
carried. With such facts before us
the investment in this service in dol
lars and cents has amounted to $140
per life. Does it pay and is it worth
to the communities it serves what it
costs? Every Legionaire has been
called into service at various times
and in no case has compensation been
made to any driver or assistant. Every
cent spent in the service has been
spent in actual operating costs of the
ambulance, including laundry, gaso-
line, tires, and other items entering
into the maintenance of a motor-car.
Clean linens, disinfectants and other
expenses not generally considered are
called to your attention.
Value of Ambulance to Community
"Only those whom we serve and are
in direct contact with the service can
realize the Importance of our work
and its value to the communities
which it serves. This fact is appre-
ciated by the widespread interest and
remarks of concentrations from
strangers in the various outside com
munities we visit on our errands of
mercy. The hearty cooperation of
every LegiOnnaire has made our ser
vice record one of which we are just
ly proud. We have been greatly as
sisted by the cooperation of the State
Police, Wilmington City Police and
local citizens and through their inter-
est and cooperation we hope to main
tain the service up to the highest ef-
! ficiency."
