Waterbury evening Democrat., 1905-08-03

WOrk. Tn the commissioners own
 neighborhood he knew where he has
 been neglectful in his duty. He would give the collector square deal and to do that he would give him a trial for another month to show what he can do with the facilities he has. Commissioner Jones said he wished to be fair. MT Carroll had the board of health with him at the start. He was the lowest bidder, and that, with his promise to do the work properly, got him the contract We knew the reputation he had, but what was that Tn view of the promises that he made then. He promised he would do the work, but has he done it? What is it to us how much garbage he burns. He has the same facilities that the other man had. At the investigation last week the evidence was all against him. Of my own observation l know that ne has not done his work, but I made no complaint. People do not complain for fun. That Carroll has not lived up to his contract is evident. I shall vote for taking away his contract.''
 Commissioner Mcdonald replied that Carroll got the contract in spite of some members of the board. He had never heard anything against Carroll before now. Some of us," he said, make mistakes, and some of us fail in business, but those matters must not be held up against any man. It is not right that threat should be held over Carrolfs head month from month. Ihere is feeling against Carroll with in and without the board," the com rAissioner said, and he was there to see justice done him if possible. Car roll would never have got the contract only that it was his just right. because he was the lowest bidder. What do you means, MT Jones, by saying Car rolls record was off color?'
 Commissioner Jones said he meant Carrolfs former record as garbage col lcctor. Commissioner Jones said he got the record from former mayor of the city.
 Commissioner Mcdonald replied that perhaps that was the source of the trouble gathering around Carroll.
 Commissioner Loomis said Carroll ought to know that if the facilities he has for destroying the garbage are not enough he has the board with him, but he should be made to understand that he must do his work.
 Commissioner Mcdonald: Carroll saw there was no use collecting when he found he could not burn it."
 Chairman Rodman: 'I would vote immediately for the revocation of Car rolls contract. When taking the con- tract Carroll said he knew absolutely nothing about the work At the re- quest of the board Commissioner Loomis investigated conditions at the crematory last fall and reported they were all right and would last five years.'
 Commissioner Loomis replied that at that time the crematory did look sound and sufficient to dispose of the material taken to it. What it's condi- ton is now he could not say.
 Commissioner Mcdonald said that before voting on Commissioner Loom. ls's motion it would be well to see if the complaints were well founded and sustained by the evidence given at the hearing last week.
 Commissioner Loomis answered that he did not desire to be recorded as doubting the sincerity of the witnesses, and Commissioner Jones said there was no evidence for Carroll, even by Ihis own counsel
 It was evident from the desultory discussion that followed that the com. missioners had about exhausted their eloquence on the subject, when Com missioner Stanley offered substitute motion, which was accepted by Con- missioner Loomis.
 The substitute was, "That this board inform Mir Carroll that his work as garbage collector in the past has been unsatisfactory to the board and that he find some means of carrying out his contract The four commissioners, Loomis, Jones, Mcdonald and Stanley. voted for it, and the board thereupon adjourned.
