AT Enniskillen Guardians on Tuesday, when the minutes had been read, Mr. W. J. Brown, J.P., who presided, said he was not going to raise any objection to the signing of them, but a great deal of them were incorrect.

Mr. Thomas Keenan – If they are incorrect I would not sign them.

The Chairman signed the minutes.

Mr, Hugh Corrigan raised a question which he said arose out of the minutes.

The Guardians had passed a resolution to pay the ambulance driver and ferryman 30s per week, and he understood that since then tenders had been invited for the removal of patients by motor to the Workhouse, the Infirmary and the Fever Hospital, and from that institution to Omagh Asylum.

The Assistant Clerk (Mr. Joseph Ross) said that a question arose on an account from a motor owner for the removal of a patient to the Asylum, and it was agreed that motor car owners in the town would be asked to give quotations for the removal of feeble people.

So far, no response had been received from them.

Mr. H. Corrigan said this was a most serious matter.

One of the motor owners in the town had showed him the circular asking him to tender.

As a public Board they should not allow fever and consumptive patients to be conveyed to hospital in open motor cars, which would afterwards be used to convey people on business and pleasure through the country.

The Chairman – What the Board understood was that the motors were required to send lunatics to Omagh.

Mr. H. Corrigan – We should have confined ourselves to that.
