SWANSON BROTHERS
 GET LAST CHANCE
Must Satisfy City on Collection of
 Garbage or Lose Contract

After hearing an unfavorable re- port on collections of garbage by the Swanson brothers the board of health commissioners yesterday afternoon voted to allow 10 day probationary period in which the Swansons will be given an opportunity to demonstrate their willingness to live up to their contracts. If, at the close of that period conditions are not improved, the contract will be cancelled and the city will collect from a bonding con- pany in which the collectors are bonded.
 Dr. Fred F. Lee, superintendent, brought in figures tending to show that proper collections were not made by Swansons who hold a contract for one-half the city. Furman & Sons, holding a similar contract, do satis- factory work. The appearance of the collectors before the board was the third and on each occasion a better- ment of collections has been promised.
 Cannot Get Help.
 Swanson said inability to secure help is his greatest trouble. He of- fered a bonus of s10 to anyone who could get him a good garbage collec- tor and in reply to statements that his equipment is not large enough, he asserted that he could collect the garbage of three cities with his equipment, had he the men. He was agreeable to the 10 day period plan.
 Dr. Lee and Commissioner Erwin were named a committee to look up the purchase of a car. The Paige car has been sold and s450 turned into the city treasury. Another car is now needed. -.
 Diphtheria Reported.
 Dr. Bray reported prevalence of diphtheria in the northwestern sec tion of the city. To prevent further spread of the disease. school authori- ties and physicians have been asked 10 cooperate with the board.
 The finance committee was instruct ed to look into the advisability of placing three electric lights along the highway leading to the Rocky Hill sanitarum.
 Reporting for the dental clinic, pr. Lee said 90 cases were cared for last month by pr. Joseph P. Meehan.
