The likelihood of that happening is not clear from the record of votes on the measure in Congress. Both the Senate and House passed the authorization extension on voice votes, so the size of the majority in favor is not available in the records. point is this: It is possible that Congress could deny moneys for the, grant, upon the prospect of which Cass bases its major argument in favor of extension of its subsidy contract. CASS has already applied for the 1203 second-phase grant under this EMS program, in the amount of S60.000. The grant application was modified by the state to approximately 530,000, with the promise of additional money later.

Cass's grant application has been approved by the Ark-Tex Council of Governments (COG), a formality necessary to Cass's eventually getting the grant. Cass could receive this grant money in addition to the annual 866,000 subsidy from the city and county. According to Mike Cass during earlier meetings with councilmen and commissioners, a two-year extension on the contract is necessary now to insure their operation in Lamar County while applying for the EMS grants. Mike Cass told county commissioners he was asking for the renewal to allow the firm to plan for providing matching funds for 25 per cent of the original EMS grant, expected in late September. THE CITY-county committee, composed of city councilmen Dave Philley and Walter Williams and county commissioners Pete Patterson and Jimmy Sparks, made the recommendation to renew Cass's contract last Monday after a four-hour meeting.

The joint committee recommended that Cass's contract be renewed with the stipulation that the business records be open for inspection at the disgression of the city and county officials. The present contract does call for a quarterly report to the city and county officials, but, according to city attorney T. K. Haynes, that report is a summary statement which does not list detailed information. The records now being requested by the city and county would include all calls logged by the firm, records of trips made and receipts.

THE DECrSION to open the ambulance business records to the city and county officials came after several citizens voiced complaints about the ambulance service. The com- mittee was formed to give residents the opportunity to come forward with their complaints or give any reasons why the city and county should not renesv the contract. The only complaints received by the committee dealt with transfer patients, a service not covered under the city-county ambulance contract, and one concerning a bystander's treatment by Charles Cass-at the scene of a major automobile accident. Cass Ambulance is subsidized by the city and county at S66.000 annually. The subsidy is 60 per cent city and 40 per cent county funds.

The city's share of the subsidy comes from the city's general fund while the county's subsidy is funded by the county's revenue sharing money. ALTHOUGH technically, revenue sharing funds cannot be used to match a federal grant. Sheffield says that Cass can use county revenue sharing funds to match their grant after incorporating the subsidy money into his business. Sheffield said Cass is applying for the federal funds as a private enterprise, as provided by the guidelines in the program. He explained that while the grant application does not legally bind Cass Ambulance Service to remain in operation at the location the grant 'application originates, "it would be highly unlikely" for Cass to leave Lamar County or Texas.

Sheffield said that the state would hold and retain titles to any and all major equipment funded through the EMS program. CASS'S 1203 EMS grant application would be only the first phase. The 1203 grant would provide Cass with funds for implementing and general improving of their present EMS system. Mike Cass said the grant, if received, would be used to upgrade the present radio communication equipment and possibly in training personnel. The 1203 grant is a two year program and according to COG officials, the grant or grants could be renewed.

The third phase of the national EMS grant program provides money for advance EMS equipment, such as telemetry monitoring systems and vehicles as well as a bury injury program. Mike Cass has told both city and county officials it is their plan to apply for the 1204 or third phase grant eventually, for the acquisition of ambulance vehicles. The 1204 would be the last phase of the three- year program, which would end in 1979 if all the bills go through. Cass's contract will be up for renewal again by August 1979. of Vallejo, one brother.

"I BELIEVE he's our man we need someone like him." Mrs. Pratt said. "We need a Democrat for a change."

Allen felt that Carter had the edge in the debates and said he was for Carter because "Carter wants go get things done for the people." "He's trying to set up things," Allen said.

Allen said he liked Carter's statement about getting people off the welfare rolls who aren't working and who aren't looking for work.

He said the application lacked letters of support from people in the Ark-Tex COG region; that it does not say how many persons will be served; and that the project seems to be top-heavy with administrative staff.
