(b.) Superintendent Mulvany, H Division—In his district cabs are not so plentiful.
During the six months ended February, 1902, the police ambulance was used 84 times, the
Bischoffsheim ambulances 14 times, and cabs 24 times.
Vans are responsible for most of the accidents, and in many cases the van would take the
injured person to the hospital.
There are in his district two Bischoffsheim ambulances and four police ambulances. Policeambulances
are cleaned by the person detailed for the work of cleaning the station, etc.
Telephones are not used in his district.
Mr. Mulvany said that he had never known the want of an ambulance.
(8.) Dr. Nachtel.
Dr. Nachtel'a views are embodied in the description of the Paris service, which he was good
enough to place before the sub-committee, and which is printed in extenso in the medical officer's
report (pp. 19-20).
