After the reading OF the letters
President Smith stated that, accord
ing TO the estimate furnished by the
secretary of the board, there was g
difference OF S2O1. IS in favor of Hol
lister & Co He wished to say he
held single share In the drug store
of Hebron, Newman & Co. as mat
ter of accommodation, as he had an
nounced before, and that this had
been the main reason why he had
Withdrawn from the consideration of
the matter at the last meeting Of the
board Of health. As he understood
it, the tenders had been properly ad
vertised for, and, ID this case, with
especial care.
Mr. Waterhouse asked if alcohol
in bond had been stated In the bids.
Mr. Ena said, as he understood it.
the statement made by President
Smith was correct.
MIR. Waterhouse said that, as he
understood it, the awarding Of the
bids hung upon the alcohol question.
President Smith said that as far as
the board knew the bid was in from
HOLSTER & Co, and that the ques
ton of alcohol other than as there
stated could not be taken into con
sideration.
DR.. Andrews said there was moth
ing In the bid of HOLSTER q Co.
guaranteeing the board in case 4
higher duty was imposed.
Dir. Lansing said there was clear
bid from HOLSTER & Co, which
should be adhered to; the bid of that
firm contained g risk dependent on
the alcohol bill, not at that time
passed by the councils.
President Smith said he wished
the board would be very careful be
fore action was taken in the matter.
He wished this especially as he was a
member of the firm of Hebron, New
man & Co. The present tender should
be awarded on its merits, and he
thought as the secretary and execu-
tive officer constituting the commit
tee should award.
Mr.. Lansing pointed out that
goods have always been brought IN
duty free for the use OF the board of
health, aud that no bid should have
been made on goods in bond. Such
bids were outside the terms and con-
ditions of the printed advertise
ment.
Mr.. Ena thought the board of
health should take no notice Of the
verbal proposition made by Mr..
Lakeland of the firm of Hollister &
Co. Mr.. Lakeland had no right to
change his bid after the written pro
position was filed.
President Smith said that he pre-
ferred not to vote on the question
and that he would only do 50 as
president Of the board of health in
case of tie vote.
MIR. Ena moved the action Of the
executive officer and the secretary of
the board in giving the bid to Ho-
bron, Newman & Co. be appro 5ed.
Carried unanimously.
After the vote was taken Mr..
Waterhouse stated that he had asked
MI. Parmelee, of Hollister q Co., to
be present to explain his views on
the matter.
President Smith handed the month
lv financial statement of the board to
the members.
The usual weekly report from Mr..
g. w. Q. Jones, inspector of slaugh-
tering, was read. 1t was received
and placed on file.
President Smith read the following
