OTHER BUSINESS
1. Mrs. Anne Sheinhouse, 13 Dante Street, Larchmont
Mrs. Sheinhouse commended the Board on its clean-up
of the Myrtle Boulevard Parking Lot but remarked that
a railing along the pathway was needed, which suggestion
was referred to the Town Engineer for investigation and
report.
2. Mr. Stuart B. Miller, Jr., 191 Larchmont Avenue
Mr. Miller addressed the Board speaking as Chairman of
the Red Cross Disaster Unit requesting that a study be
made of the restrictions presently imposed upon the
Town Police in the moving of injured persons without a
physician present.
-14-
He observed that Mr. Fred Mees and he both felt that the
restrictions, which did not agree with those recommend-
ed by the Red Cross, were too stringent and thus were
prohibitive to the full and proper use of the emergency
ambulance vehicle.
The Town Police were certainly adequately trained to
handle such moving, he said, since they received the
same training as that given to hospital orderlies and
ambulance attendants. He stated that the object of hav-
ing this vehicle was to get injured persons to the hos-
pital as fast as possible and in view of this, urged
the Council to reconsider its present policy.
Councilman Faiola, in defending the current policy,
stated that injuries could be worsened rather than
lessened by improper moving, adding that he did not
believe he would like to see his daughter so moved with-
out a physician on the scene. He advised that the Town
had completed the first stage of its program through
provision of the vehicle, and would now turn therefor
to the second stage - - that of working out some sort
of arrangement wherein local physicians would be avail-
able for emergency calls.
Councilman Chalif then observed that he would certainly
be a very unhappy man if any accident victim were to
die due to delay in being moved - - but on the other
hand, he would be equally unhappy were a victim to be
crippled due to improper moving; summarizing his views
with the statement that he believed the Council found
itself in a very difficult situation and one which
indeed required the most serious and thorough study and
consideration.
Mr. Miller then recommended that the Council along with
the Police Commission undertake such a study - including
provisions of the "Good Samaritan" laws, insurance cover-
age, etc., and the Supervisor brought the discussion to
an end, thanking Mr. Miller and requesting that he sub-
mit his recommendations and views in writing for refer-
ence use in such study.
