Tlle following statement was issued this week by tl~e Shelton Area Ambuhmce A s s o c i a t i o n, whicit was formed ree.ently as a result of efforts of a Chamber el C()mmcrcc committee to bring all antbulanee service into Sllelton. WHAT'S BEHIND THE AMBULANCE STORY For some time there ilas boon a searel~ for the proper answer to Shclton's need of a good ambu- lance service, with both City anct County officials as well as the Chamber of Commerce atteanpting to find the answer. Early this year when complaints about the now defunct Torsal¢ Am- bulanee Service mounted, and it I)ccarne apparent ti~at because ot that and financial and other prob- lems the service would not con- tinue, the Chamber of Conmlercc stepped up its activities. The City Petitions proposing tile forma- tion of a Mason Couuty hospital district as a means of solving this community's pressing hospital pro- biota vvere placed in circulation Ttlesday. If some 800 signatures are se- culed by early next weeR tile mecllanles of placing 'the propojsal hefm,e the voters at tim general election next November will be safely ill motion. Although time is slmrt to campy out the several legal stops required by law. the proposM can make the November ballot Safely if the county connnissioners receive the properly signed petitions by mi(l-~ week. They wouht then set a date for a public hearing, and if no hitches developed at, this hearing Affairs Committee of the Chamber 0f Commerce waa instructed by tho I~oard of Directors to investi- gate all possibilities and report. THE FIRST findings of the emnnflttee were that an anlbulance' service, by itself, could not be ex- pccted to support itself solely from I0 revenuos and maintain a properly high c'tlibre of service. Tr0ublc- Most Mason County Schools will open Sept. 8 with an oriontation day for teachers. The annual Business-lCducation Day teacher's institute will be Sept. 9, witll a tour of the new Washington Cerrecgions Center, completed this sunmler, the pro- g]'am for this year. Ciasaes will start Sept. 10, a Thursday. Robert Quiggle, sut)erintendent of the Shelton School District, said this schedolc had been adopted by the Shelton District. COUNTY Superintendent J. W. Goodpitstcr sltid he h{td conferred with tho rnral schools wilie]l Solld high school students to Shelton ltigh School, and tilat liloy will all follow tile same schcdulo. All districts ill tlle cmully ex- cept Mary M. Knight, Norlh Ma- son and Tahuya will start school witit this schedule, Classes in the Mary M. l(night District will start Sept. 1 with Leacher;~ reporting August 31 for ~tll oricntation day. Classos in tltc North Mason Dis- trict will start Sept. 9 witll a works]lop day for teachers sched- uled for Sept. 8. The Tahuya Dis- trict follows the same schedule as the North Mason Di trlct. sonic econ()nlies of an anlbu]ance servioo include : 1-. Initial investment in a service as roquired by this area can easily go as high as $10,000 and per- hops subslantially more, depending upon the amount of equipment when really 1)roper equipment is llsed. ) r 2.--t ast years' experienee sho~ s an "~verage of approximately 300 calls a year with charges averag- ing somewhere. In tho vicinity ot $25 per call, inchlding long dis- ~allco trips such as to Taconla a,nd Seattle, Hoveever many of the billings, for olle reason or an- olile, r, aro never paid. 3-.-A driver and attendant are requirod on eacit trip, and as the service nlusL bo maintained 2,1 holll'S tl day, seven days a. week, simple mathenmties show that payment of wages and maintain- ance of equipn]ont exceeds the ex- peeled income. l:~ecatlsc of advorse eeononlics ol ~tll a3nl)tlh~t~ce Ol.)Cl'alion) tllO conl- inittc's report advised that a vol- unteer corps would have to be maintained for either l~ospiLai, county, er city operation of the service, or a subsidy to a private operator would be necessary to insure thc high calibre setwice de- an'red by rc idcnt of tl ¢ area. On the basis of the report, the Chsmber of Conlnlorce secureo firm eommittn~onts of contribu- tions totaling $:}50 a nlonth. Contributors stated they could not each contribute directly to all ambulance operator but could con- tribute only to a non-profit associ- ation that could assure them ot propel- service and which would in turn then pay over all contributed funds am a subsidy to a privately operated service. The duties of the association, they specified, would be to investigate ambulance op- erations in general and from find- ings tare such steps as would be necessary to safeguard the intm'- csts of residents of the arcs and assure the best possible contin- ual service. The' Board of Direc- tors of the chsmber then requested the City Affairs Committee to formulate StlCh &n association, to be kno%vn as the Shelton Area Ambulance Association, w h o s e nlembers would serve without com- pensation. AFTER SEEKING advise from many sources and learning of ex- perienees of other communities, it soon became spparent to the group that amlmlance ordinance pat- terned upon others ill existance elsewhere should be recommended to the City Con]mission in order to fulfill requirements of the con- tributors and the colmmmity. A group of ordinances w~ts ob- tained and given to the City Cmn- mission for consideration.' After considerable study an ordinance pattm~ed after that of the City ot Yakima was finally deemed most proper and is now being officially considered by the City Commis- sion. Concurrent with it's investiga- tions into ambulance operation i~ general, tile group requested Phil Murphy, Secretary of tile Chamber of Con'mlerce, to attempt to locate potential operators, and applica- tions by prospectivo owner-oper- ators for a iiceused service that will qualify for payment of the subsidy are being taken. Ex cePiionai- Fo:iesiers Planning Auclion The Exceptional Fercstei',s are phtnning all' auction ill Octobel', it was announced this week. This will be the second annual :auction Tire auction will be used as a. fund-raising project. 'rhe group asks that local resi- dents keep am action in mind and start aving arttcle it. tile proposal wouhl bo certified for the ballot in Novenli~er. If voters approve the proposal to from a hospilal district, subsc- quent actions at a spo.cial oloctiou ~,(mld include the election ef corn- missioners lo govorn the district (much like port districts l and vof ing on a $314 million bond issue to assist in financing construction of. a new hospital. I)ECISION TO at.temp~ to solve the hospital situation hy forma- lion of a Imspital distriol was made after Dr. Allen Orler, pro- fessional consultant with thc Na- tional Fund Raising Selvice. made a re-evahmtion early this mont.]t of a. study hi:~ o)'Kanizatien ha4 complei.ed tin'co years ago on tho best nleans of financino" ~ new Community hospital here. After conferring with many in- dividuals singly and in groups, Dr. Orler follnd an ovel~qleinling el)in- ion in favor of fiuancing through fomnation of a llospital district ra, ther than by ¢ionathms. "Although lids n]eth(wl is not what many of them w(mht per- sonalty prefer, they set,reed agreed that it ix tile only feasible means." Dr. Orler said. Dr. Orler reported his findings to the joint board,-; of directors of the Clinic Hospital and the Shclton General Hospital at a meeting held Aug. 3. At. a subsequent nteeling of the Shelton General Hospital board, the boalxt decided to sponsor for- motion of a hospital disl.rtct. STUDIES previousl,~ complet,'d have sho~* this conummity needs a 50-bed modern hospital which would cost approximately $1 ~.~ million to construct. Of tiffs smu Hill-Burton federal funds woutd provide about $Vz nlillion, The ro- mabling $31,t million would have to be raised by tbe conlnltlnily, either tln-ough donations or taxa- tion. Raising that amount by public contributions '~.ppears highly un- likely, Dr. Orler's studies indi'(',al, od, hence the deci,'~ion to ask tile pllb- lie for a.pprOval nf the forntation of a hospital district. Tiffs would permit goneral obltgalion bends to be sold, if the. district receives public approval at tho November election. The need for getting ihe pro- posal to form the hospital distriot before the voters this November is pressing because by law auth- orily to form hospital "districts can only be voted at general olections. ;Th(m, if the nlatter is not placed on the ballot this year it would of necessity have to wait until 1966. The COllnty comulissioncrs and other county officials pledged tlleir full cooperation in expedi[ing tho :necessary leg,tl steps required to get tile proposa on tile ~X4OVCUlbOr balh)t v¢ilen tile matter was dis- cnssed witll then] last Monday by Col Hol')pcr, Sheil~ ~ (~one~,tl 1-los- pital Adnlinistr'*tor, Dr. B.
