To Provided Service
After October H
An Act was ratified in the General Assembly of North Carolina on May 11,
1967, to assure adequate and continuing ambulance services to the citizens of
North Carolina.
The General Assembly understanding that due to regulations that have been
imposed on ambulance service it would not be economically feasible for most of
the private .ambulance serviced to continue. They provided tii$fe6ple of North
Carolina with a law that would provide ambulance services to the people. That in
order to preserve, protect and promote public health safety and general welfare,
adequate and continuing ambulance service should be available to every citizen
in North Carolina.
That upon the failure of private enterprise to provide adequate and contin
uing ambulance services in any county THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMIS
SIONERS of such county should be authorized to provide or cause to be provided
such services within said county.
We notified the County Commissio ners that on OCTOBER 1, 1967, we will
DISCONTINUE AMBULANCE SERVICES. We do this with regret, but it is im
possible for us to continue.
We have offered, FREE OF CHARGE, to the County Commissioners two
fully equipped ambulances. We are doing this to try to help the people of Madi
son County in that adequate ambulance services will be continued. TTiis offer
was made on June 13, 1967 and will continue until we withdraw this offer on Oc
tober 1, 1967.
