AMBULANCES.
The following synopsis of the L.C.C. ambulance
arrangements is given :
How to Obtain an Ambulance or Ambulance
Omnibus.
The vehicles are available at any hour of the day
or night including Sundays and public holidays.
To call an ambulance by telephone, in case of
accident or sudden illness in the street, place the
telephone receiver to the ear (and dial "O" if
connected to an automatic exchange). When the
operator answers, ask for " ambulance " and wait for
the reply " ambulance " ; then give particulars.
