The above might ve used as a ‘“lay out” for a theatrical skit with Henry Furman entering with a blare of trumpets singing “Ish ga Dbiebel,” which is not just the way Eva Tan- guay does it but which would answer. Furman was awarded the contract to collect the city garbage after he had been stoutly opposed by Dr. Bray, who did not object to the man but who did not believe that the work could be done properly for $2,950, Furman's price. What cared he for injunctions? Nothing! He: could collect all the garbage in New Britain for that money and still have enough to keep the wolf from the porte cochere at his Newington estate. Other bidders whose pigs wept salty tears when the news was broken were J. J. Donahue, $6,600; Luke Sinskie, $6,000; John Hanson, $4,400; Swanson Bros, $4,000. The poor pigs see long, lean years ahead. Their pickin's will be very light and will consist for the greater part of field stones, tree roots and mastodon frames. The awarding of the contract was H. S8 not arrived at until after a long dis- | stated ! that he, Dr. Bray and Superintendent | cussion. Chairman Tallard T. E. Reeks, M. D., had inspected the garbage dumps of all the applicants except Hanson, whose farm could not be located although they had a vague idea it was somewhere in Kensington. The chairman fasked Dr. Bray to ex- press his opinion on their tour. Dr. Bray Against Furman. Among the objections which Dr. Bray voiced to letting the contract to Furman was because the road over which the garbage will be taken passed within twenty-five feet of the bottling plant at Rowley’s milk farm in'Newington and the dumping ground will be only an eighth of a mile away- 4dn s.dditlon tosthat Dr, A.

'Dr. Bray stated that he had consulted coungel and had been informed that the = city could not hold Furman responsible for his bond if an injunctlon were secured against him. Dr- Bray could find no objections to He said he was not convinced that Swanson: Bros. knew what they were talking about. Luke Scinski, he sald, has no farm but pro- poses to engage Finneman’s farm in . Farmington,” which is partly on the Hartford reservoir watershed. Dr. Bray did not think Furman could do the work well at the price he asked although he considered Fur- man personally a hard working, in- dustrious person. In his opinion the proposed injunction of the Newing- ton residents should be considered. Even if the bond is called the city would be no better off as the point was not to get the money but to have the garbage collected. Public health is greater than the mere money in- volved, he thought. Superintendent Reeks Favors Furman, Superintendent Reeks’ opinion was diametrically opposed to that of Dr. Bray. He did not think the proximity of the road to Rowley’'s bottling plant would have any effect on the milk as the garbage is conveyed in closed wagons. Furman even now buys $500 worth of garbage per year, he said. He considered Furman a reliable, honorable bidder and could ‘ see nothing that would prove a drawback to awarding the contract to him. He understood . .that Swanson Bros. be- lieved they could make money by col- lecting the garbage for $3,000 but had been scared off by the old board, which held an opposite opinion. “The logical man is the man with experience,” Dr. Reeks said. ‘“Fur- man once did this work but for some reason not clear to him he was not allowed to continue. He is the proper man in my opinion especially because of the great difference between his bid and the other bids.” Injunction No Objection. Chairman Tallard agreed with Dr. Reeks. He said Furman's piggery would be located two miles from the residential section of Newington and not half a mile, as had been stated. The chairman said he had consulted Corporation Counsel J. E. Cooper, who tald him Furman would have to live up to his contract, injunction or no in- Junction. “There is no question in my mind as to Donahue’s ability,” said Chair- man Tallard. “It is a question of price, purely a business proposition.” “Suppose Furman should stop col- lecting, has the superintendent of health made any provision for the collection of the garbage?” asked Commissioner Burns. “I think it is up to this board to see that the gar- 361 Main Street. bage is collected.” Furman Talks. Furman was called into the meeting. He said if an injunction were secured to run against him he could take the garbage to Finneman’s farm in Farm- Angton or he might be able to buy { was only 25,000,” remarked Dr. Bray. Smith's farm, which is not far from Finneman's place. He had his eye also on a place in Berlin, he said. Dr. Bray stated that both Finne- man’s and Smith’s farms are on the watershed of the Hartford reservoir. Explaining his purpose, Furman said he proposed to breed pigs. He had 300 pigs when he collected the city garbage previously. He said he thought he could collect the garbage with four wagons. “How did you asked Dr, Bray. “When I collected garbage before I had one wagon and there were three other collectors each with one wagon,’’ replled Furman. “But the population of the city then arrive at four?” “You understand that in hot wea- ther you will be required to collect all garbage within the fire limits three times per week and all over the city all year at least twice a week,! don’t you?’ asked Commissioner Burns. Furman replied in the affirmative. In reply to & question by, Dr.. Reeks, Furman said there had been but few complaints against him when he once had the contract. _ Furman was given to understand that he could not sub-let the contract and that all men collecting garbage must be on his. payroll. These points' were impressed by Dr. Bray and Com- missioner Burns. Injunction a Bluff. In Furman's opinion there is noth- ing to the injunction threat. The people of Maple Hill would not know there was a piggery within the !ownt limits, he said. In closing he paid | his respects to Lawyer Freeman, who has been consulted by Maple Hill res- | idents regarding securing an injunc-! tion. Swanson Bros. were called into the meeting. The spokesman' explained that they had put in a bid of $3,000 originally but jumped it to $4,000 be- cause the old board of health didn't believe the work could be done at that price, They didn’t think any- one would bid under $4,000. They still believed they could make money at $3,000. ' Dr. Bray stated@ that he had been | talking with Donahue, who said he could not come down a cent on his bid of $6,600. Sinskie, Dr. Bray said, told him he could not afford to do the work for less than §7,000 but a check for $500 every month from the city looked better to him - than a check for $600. from some other source, b . Dr. Bodley asked ‘Chairman Tal- lard for his opinion and the chair- man replied that he considered Fur- man the logical man' 'because of his experience and the difference in the bids. 1 Dr: Bodley made & motion that the | contract be awarded to Furman. \ “Furman is a friend of mine and hels an industrious, honest man,” said ; Dr. Bray. “But I want to explain my vote on this because I am going| to vote against him. T simply don't think anyone can fulfill the contract| at Furman's price.” “Personally Furman is a good man ' but we should make some provision ‘tion’ to that effect at “Here Is Something New to Think About” On Thursday, Friday and Saturday, May 14th, 15th and 16th, Respectively, MAY BOX Will Be Held A box absolutely free to all, upon a purchase CARNIVAL at Our Store amounting to fifty cents (50c¢) or over, on the thrce named days only.

Dr. Bray called attention to the fact that any further delay might be dangerous as the warm weather is coming. Three to One for Furman. On a vote, Dr. Anderson, Dr. Bod- ley and Commissioner Davenport voted in favor of Furman. Dr. Bray voted against him and Commissioner Burns did not vote. “My opposition is to the $2,950 and not to Furman,” Dr. Bray explained. Plumbers’ Examiners. Chairman Tallard announced that he had appointed Commissioners Davenport and Burns and Plumbing Inspector Weiant a permanent com- mittee to examine applicants for mas- ter and journeymen plumbers’ licenses. Commissioner Burns objected to the word “permanent” as he said that he understood the committee was to in- clpde a master plumber and a journey- min plumber. He had made a mo- the Monday night meeting, he said. Dr. Reeks read the minutes of the previous meeting, which ‘d@ld ‘not include Com- missioner Burns' motion. The chair ruled that the minutes were correct. BUSINES:! HOUQES DESTRO\I"D Manila, May 14.—Twenty business houses in Iloilo were burned today. i The loss aggregates $500,000.

The committee on supplies and printing will meet this evening and will formulate a plan for the pur- chase and distribution of supplies to the city departments. It is said that the committee is dissatisfied with the manner in which City Clerk A. L. Thompson has pur- chased supplies in the past and with the generous way in which they are passed out. It is proposed to have more systematic purchasing and dis- tribution, as the committee would like to be able to know just what bills it is approving. A voucher will be printed and the applicant for supplies from a general storeroom will be re- quired to sign the voucher before re- ceiving pencils, paper, ink, etc. PRINCE MAY Arr!-:‘vn Stockholm, Sweden, May 14.— Crown Prince Gustave Adolphus ot Sweden, may possibly attend the Panama-Pacific exposition at San Francisco.
