Board of Health Will Probably Hold No
 More Evening Sessions.
 A special meeting of the board of health was held last evening to consider the question of the complaints which have been received against Garbage Collector Walter s. Swayne, and If the complaints were ascertained to be we'll founded to impose a fine upon him for not properly attending to his duties. It is said that there have been several hundred complaints lodged against Swayne within the last few weeks.
 Contractor Swayne was present at the meeting accompanied by his coun- sel, Charles s. Hamilton. After the meeting had been called to order MT. Hamilton asked for a postponement, claiming that his principal witness was confined to his bed with an attack of chills and fever, and consequently was unable to be present In view ok this circumstance the board decided to postpone the investigation until next Thursday afternoon at o'clock.
 An effort will be made to hereafter have the meetings of the board of health held in the afternoon instead of, evenings, and the experiment will bs tried Thursday afternoon. The great dif- hculty which has been encountered in holding evening sessions has been to secure a quorum, so that businesss could be transacted. The three physi- clans who are members of the board find 1t next to an impossibility ts at- tend the evening sessions. and in order to make it possible for them to attend the meetings 1t has been decided to try the experiment of afternoon sessions. Should the session next Thursday prove successful in securing quorum all future meetings of the board will bes held in the afternoon, instead eAin- the evening". 4, n
