ed by him for gasoline used by him, these
being the only two which we're not signed
by a majority of the board of finance.
Both were finally ordered paid the latter
being reduced from Sc % to S..
The health officer began his duties on
March IS and his salary was not fixed at
that time. Later q resolution was passed
by the board that his salary should begin
at the time he began his combined duties
of all-time health officer and food and
milk inspector. 1t was on account Of this
resolution that the bill was not signed by
the board of finance. It was the sense of
the board that the salary, amounting to
t429.22. should be paid and 1t was 80 or
dered. When the gasoline bill was taken
up 1t was stated by Dr. f. w. Sears,
chairman of the board of health that
previously teams had been hired by the
milk inspector to make visits to the var-
Gus diaries which are furnishing milk in
the city. DIR. Ennis is using his own auto
mobile and asks the city to furnish the
motive power, which will be a much
cheaper arrangement, 1t being necessary
to make visits to the 14s diaries three or
four times year. Alderman Woodbury.
made a motion that $ he allowed on the
bill and that the health officer be instruct
ed that this would he the maximum al

A communication was received from r.
s. Hathaway garbage collector, stating
that men without authority were picking
up garbage in the city. He stated that
he had made complaint to the mayor, po-
lice and board of health without AVIAN.
The mayor said that he did not remem-
Der that Mr. Hathaway had made any
complaint to him along these lines. and
that possibly the collectors Mr.. Hathaway
had cited in his communication had taken
the garbage from houses where Mr.. Hath
aways men had failed 10 put in an ap-
pearance. Alderman Bergeron stated that
he had had trouble with tho collection of
garbage at his home and in his neghbor-
hood. DR.. Sears, when called upon, said
that Mr.. Hathaway had not vet compiled
with the ordinance as regards placing
numbers on his wagons and having his
men wear corresponding numbers. pr,
Sears gave II as his opinion that collect
ing garbage by contract was a failure and
,'s ,.,.'
the garbage should be collected by the
city. Mr.. Hathaway's communication
was ordered received.
