However, Commission er Glenn Hodges later suggest ed that charges be made to “only the people that use the am bulances, “rather than to tax payers. Commissioner Len Hagaman suggested that executives of the towns of Boone and Blowing Rock, Appalachian State Uni versity, the rescue squad and Watauga and Blowing Rock Hos pitals meet with the Commiss ioners this week. Hodges said Monday that he will talk with trustees at Wa tauga Hospital prior to arrang ing the proposed meeting. Representing Reins-Sturdi vant with Kelley were Council Cooke and Barney Hampton(also County Coroner). As Kelley said, the law spec ifies that counties and hospitals can supply the service, but preliminary rulings mom entarily stand In the way. Bing ham suggested a county-wide referendum could be a solution. When the solution is found, the service will need at least two ambulances. One ambulance may be on an out-of-town mission and a second will be needed for emergemcy work. The reduce squad then would back up the emergency ambu lance operation, as the law stipulates.
