New Ambulance Post Will Save Town Money
During a Township Committee meeting discussion on the ambulance driver ordinance the panel considered hiring two new drivers at about 4500 to 4800 dollars yearly. Savings arise from paying lower salaries than current ambulance drivers, potentially saving the town about 4000 dollars per driver. The ordinance was amended to require drivers be at least two years older. Temporary drivers may be appointed while Civil Service tests are issued and lists published. The Traffic Ordinance was passed with opposition to a North Broad Street loading zone. Street resurfacing of Cedar Street Dod Place Race Street and Vine Street was approved as an annual maintenance item.
