ther referring inquirers to the Health Board direct.
 Though under Section 1S0 of the local Health ordinances the Board of Health is empowered to demand daily collections where 1t is deemed advisable, it is asserted by those in close touch with the situation that the Health officers hands have been tied in the matter, because of technical violation of the terms of the contract.
 It is alleged that a joker in the contract calling for the exclusive privilege of collecting "a1I'' garbage in Bridgeport was contested in court some year or so ago when in an en- deavor to compel a local hotel keeper to deliver garbage to the contractors rather than to a farmer, the courts ruled that citizens had the constitu- tional right to sell their property to whornsoever they pleased, This was tacitly accepted as aibrogation of the contract and it is intimated that all demands later made upon the con tractors by the Health officers to live up to the letter of rne contract were consistently ignored
 When seen today by reporter for The Farmer, Health Officer Mcclellan, cheerfuIIy produced a copy of the original contract. When asked if garbage collections were regularly made by the contractors in accord ance with It's terms, ne neS1Idl1hsi5 evaded the question by stating that some complaints were now being in vestigated by the inspectors. When pressed to answer the question of whether or not three daily collections had ever been made by the contract orss during the heated months in Bridgeport and whether the hotel case had any bearing on the matter, he respectfully referred his inquirers to the Health Commissioners whom he asserted were in full possession of the facts.
 Local attorneys to whom hypotheti- cal questions were put concerning such a. contract were of the opinion that if the contract had been uncon- stitutional in it's form and had been violated it should be abrogated rather than allow one party to receive it's benefits without living up to, it's im- posed conditions.
