Commission Tightens City Ambulance Licensing Rules
The City Commission adopted an amendment tightening ambulance operation procedures and boosting insurance and renewal standards. It allows ambulances up to five years old, requires six month safety inspections, and shifts resuscitation duties from the fire department to onboard equipment. The dispute began last November with Ernest Moore’s bid for four emergency units, opposed by Mercy Ambulance owner Bud Bishop, and Moore’s license fate hinges on a February hearing after PSC jurisdiction was clarified.

Tokens in Slots Stir Nevada Gaming Debate
Clark County Sheriff Ralph Lamb opposes using tokens as substitutes for silver dollars in slot machines. Nevada Gaming Commission Chairman Milton Keefer said the plan, approved last Tuesday for Harrah's Club in Reno, requires machines to be redesigned so tokens redeem at one dollar each and not mingle with regular coins. Keefer emphasized legal approval from April and backing from Atty. Gen. Harvey Dickerson and Deputy Atty. Gen. Norman Samuelson, though Lamb cautioned the action may violate the law.
