Mr. Chris Daugherty appeared before the Council representing the Austin Transit Company operating under the name of the Austin Ambulance Service. Mr. Daugherty introduced Mr. Conwell Smith, President of the Austin Ambulance Service who then presented an itemized account of the company's budget, as well as a list of available equipment. Mr. Smith stated that a third ambulance company working for a funeral home had been operating in Austin, but that they were unable to meet their expenses and Austin Transit had bought their equipment. Mr. Smith noted that his company had been operating at a minor loss due to difficulties in collecting fees for services. He further stated that in order to make a profit his company would have to raise rates and thereby increase the problem of collecting fees. When questioned of the possibility of the continuance of the Austin Transit with the presence of another company rendering the same services, Mr. Smith stated that he could see no way that more than one ambulance company could operate in Austin and still make a profit. He then suggested that only one company be allowed to operate, and that it be controlled by a franchise. Mr. James Granger appeared before the Council representing City Ambulance Company. Mr. Granger introduced Mr. Doyle Carter, operator of the City Ambulance Service and proposing to operate an ambulance and transfer service on 1601 Lavaca Street. Mr. Carter then listed an account of his company's expenditures and stated that even though the two companies had been operating at a loss, both services could exist and still maintain a profit. Mr. Granger pointed out that if the City had only one ambulance service, that company would have no incentive to provide sufficient service to the public and would have no reason to reduce their prices to the lowest possible amount and still maintain a profit. He further pointed out that most of the major Texas cities had more than one ambulance company and that no city in Texas had an ambulance service charging rates as high as Austin Ambulance. After some discussion, Councilman LaRue moved the Council grant the request of the Austin Transportation Company for an ambulance and transfer vehicle franchise as stated under Article 4 of Chapter 31 of the Austin City Code of 1964.
