(Continued on Page 13) / councils to discuss the possible subsidizing of the Brignall Am- bulance Service in Port Perry. Messrs Earl Martyn and Allan Crosier were "present from Reach Council and Messrs, Er- nest Swain and William Fer- guson from Cartwright Council. Scugog Council was not repre- sented. About two months ago Mr. Charles Brignall of the Brignall Ambulance Service appeared be- fore council requesting a sub- sidy, in order that he may con- tinue operation. He explained to council that he had been los- ing money since he started in the ambulance service ten years ago. When questioned by coun- cil as to the amount of subsidy he would require to be able to carry on this service, he re- plied "about $2, 500.00". Coun. cil felt that if he was subsi- dized it should be divided a- mong Port Perry and the sur- rounding townships. Council decided at this time to give Mr. Brignall $200.00 so that he would be "able to carry on for two months, in which time a meeting with the surrounding townships could be set up. This meeting was called on Tuesday evening in the local council chamber. OPINIONS EXPRESSED Reeve Earl Martyn of Reach said in talking to Reach resi- dents te found that some had insurance to cover ambulance costs. In his opinion, he felt that he could not ask residents to subsidize this service, as some would be paying twice. Deputy Reeve Orde of Port service. : Reeve Martyn stated Reach would be willing to pay for indigents who could not pay. Councillor Parkinson of Port Perry felt that Mr. Brignall was providing a service and should get some subsidy. Bill Ferguson of Cartwright stated that Mr. Brignall was a "private individual providing a public service and that coun- cils must draw the line some- where", Some councillors felt they should check with the Fire Department to see if they were interested in running an ambu- lance service. >All present felt that he should raise his rates and even if he did" receive a subsidy he would definately have to do this. Mr. Brignall was called into the meeting and was asked num- erous questions pertaining to this service and the rates that he charged. Mr. Swain asked "what the charge for go to Blackstock wonld be?" (Continued on Page 13) Will Dispose 0f Ambulance Mr. C. Brignall told the Star yesterday when requested, that he intended to fulfill his obli- gation to the town and operate the Ambulance until end of March. "At that time, he said, the subsidy of $200.00 will be ab- sorbed, and I 'intend to adver- tise ambulance and equipment for sale". Perry felt that the question in- volved was, "do we need an am- | bulance or not?"
