TOWN AMBULANCE.
The public ambulance kindly given to the town about
10 years ago by Mr. A. Cameron Corbett is still being extensively
used. During the year it was used on 22 occasions
for street accidents, and on 83 occasions to convey patients
to and from the various hospitals at their own or friends'
expense.
On the 28th September, 1909, the Council passed a
resolution giving the Medical Officer power to grant free use
of the ambulance to deserving cases for conveying patients
to and from various hospitals. This concession has been
taken advantage of on 8 occasions.
