City OKs Plan In Ambulance Crisis
UBBOCK ambulance crisis may be solved by issuing a no subsidy franchise to an independent operator. The City Council expresses no interest in subsidizing and will study a franchising ordinance draft for July 28 action. Six firms showed interest, but some walked away when subsidies were ruled out. If no suitable operator is found the city may run ambulances itself at about $100000 yearly.
