County Ambulance Service
The Houston County
Hospital Authority is still
trying to decide what method
to employ in furnishing
Houston County with am
bulance service. At present,
the funeral homes furnish
ambulance service but on
December Ist the homes will
cease to furnish the service.
At a joint meeting on May
29th, the Houston County
Commissioners requested
the Hospital Authority to be
responsible for coming up
with a plan for providing
ambulance service.

Jackie Wellons, recep

cost of special training for

Hospital Authority
Chairman L. A. McConnell
has sent letters to the
Mayors of Perry and Warner
Hobins stating that “the
Hospital Authority would
very much appreciate
knowing if the Perry (or
Warner Robins) City Ad

do so.
At their meeting Monday
night commissioners
received printed copies of
budget requests for
operation of the county
during the 1972-73 fiscal year
which begins July 1.
Commissioners did not
reveal the requests.
Chairman Robert Byrd said
there were ‘‘clerical errors’’
in the presentation which
will have to be corrected
before the requests are made
public.
He said the budgets will be
completed by the deadline,
and that those budget
requests which do not
require adjustments will be

in combination with other
agencies.” The letters also
stated “The Authority is
interested in making certain
that all avenues are sought
toward reaching the best
possible solution.”
Chairman McConnell also
has instructed Hospital
Administrator Myron
McDonald to check with

Planning Commission

This year’s requests
totaled about five percent
more than last year’s, ac
cording to clerk Watson. The
$2 million requested last
year was trimmed to about
$1.6 million before being
approved by commissioners.
Commissioners again
postponed naming a member
to the Middle Georgia Area
Planning Commission to fill
a vacancy left by the
resignation of Warner
Robins Mayor Homer J.
Walker some time ago.
A lack of information
concerning repairs to

postponing of a decision on

been on the agenda for
several weeks.

there might be a good idea if
Howell reports favorably on
the plan.
