' ...... ... . . .. . Kr . . --- " 7lf'tet Mr: Fiilliamson had made his original complaint with the Executive Secretarys, Mr."Dave W. Riventiark'sad he innestigated these complaints and Pound ttiat the situation at the etore snd fil]ing atation-at the'intersection at Silver Iake Road was being.caused by eurfaae vater running fraan the road. liaok totirard the-c;attal snd naturel7,y washing out banka of the ditch, and it is true.tllat eventua2ly the pt4np hotise"and the etore will be involved vnlees eame steps are taken to remedy the s3tuation. We ireie also advieec]-thst Mr. Williamson purchased thia propertq after the ditch had been changed at the requeat of the owaer"s at tkiat time. As xe vieired the matter, it did not seem to us that his trouble wea a reault af any work the Countq had done nor vss it the County'e responsibility to repair,anq damage that might - }iave beea caneed by thie surface vater. We did 4ind on the other ditch that it was a main drainage canel vtiich the County normal],q maintaina.

Chriat-. ' ian ettplained that the loss was eauaed bq the use of old equipment on whioh the upkeep rras high; and loes= C? es due to default bq aome of the pstients refusing to pa,p; and that the volume of calla uas reduced by the lasr enforcement agencies on some occasions traneporting incapaeitsted persona to the hoapital in their own cars rather than call the ambulsnce eervice.

He also cited examples xhere no aminilsnce fee usa paid bp the Welfaro Depsrtment unlees the patient was admitted to the hosgital and vas eligible for WelPare Benefite. He seemed to tkiink that if all ambulance aells were handled by them and they vere able collect for them, that the trip rate might be reduced and that they conld operate at a profit. Mr. Chriet- ian aeemed very coneoienticus about the aervice being readered by them and eaked the question °IP thep eeaaed operation., vho xonl.d haadle the fvnctiona theq normal]y perform?" The Chaisman aaked if thie matter had been preaented before the City Council ea he wea under the impresaion that the service by the Cape Fear Ambulance Company vas largely tirlthin the City Limits and.. therePore., would have e greater im- paot on the'citiaene of Wilmington if it were diacontinued than on County residents.
