An attorney appeared on behalf Of the
protestants against the garbage con-
tract, and addressed the council at some
length, and denouncing Donegan's con-
tract as an outrage, asked that ic be an
nulled as he had failed to comply with
It's provisions. Health Officer Mac
Gowan replied briefly, admitting several
OF the statements made by the lawyer.
Contractor Donegan said that the
reason he had not complied with the
terms of his contract was because the
people who now protested, prevented
him from doing so. He made sensa-
tional statement to the effect that he
had been threatened number of times
since he commenced his crematory, and
had been told that if it was completed
he should be the first to be put through
it. He was afraid to leave his new
boiler on the ground, because those peo-
pie down there would shoot holes
through it. He was doing his best to
carry out the contract, and would have
the crematory completed and in opera
tion within three weeks
After prolonged discussion of the
matter, and the reference of the usual
petitions to their proper committees, the
council adjourned
