Mr. F. Routley, Administrator.

Mr. Routley stated that in the past two years of operation the indigency
accounts by Municipalities were:
Ajax - 19 for about $ 2,000.00
Pickering Township - 22 for about $ 1,676.50
Pickering Village - 3 for about $ 100.00
The Debenture issue in 1954 of $ 100,000.00 for Capital Expense of the
Hospital was paid: Ajax, 50%, Pickering Township, 45%; Pickering Village,
5%.
Mayor Smith, of Ajax, stated his Municipality was agreeable to pay $5,400.00
now but would not commit the Town on the $2,000.00 indigency accounts. He
thought that the basis for the various Municipalities should be same as
equalized assessment: Township, 59%; Town, 36%, Village, 5%.
The Township members verbally agreed to pay $5,285.00 (to bring debenture and
grant to 1 Mill) plus the indigency for 1954 and 1955 of $ 1,676.50, providing
the grant was in same ratio in Municipalities as paid in 1954.
The Village agreed to pay 5% up to $ 500.00 and their $ 100.00 indigency.

It was agreed that Mr. Routley should submit number and cost of in and out
patients and smallest amount of grant necessary to keep in business in 1956.
Then the Councils would again meet and decide total grant and percentage.
A general discussion took place about re-dividing Township Fire Areas
between Ajax and Pickering Village Fire Departments. Ajax agreed that they
could service subdivisions which were served by paved roads, which seemed
hardly fair to the Pickering Village Fire Brigade. Ajax give pulmotor service.
It was agreed that Mr. Johnston, Clerk, send maps to both Councils and ask
the Ajax Brigade if they would (1) serve Heron and Pickering Beach areas.
(2) all east or Ajax and south of Highway 2, and quote price per call.
Agreed garbage be picked up from commercial establishments free twice per
week. Clerk get agreement with Mr. Watson.
