 Purcell was instructed to go into the next office and to separate the payments due the garbage collec- tors and truckers so that these might be approved. Later, however, when the board completed its oth- CT regular business and the sheets were not forthcoming, the matter of approval of the stipulated bills was postponed until tonight. Sen timent of the board members was that the men had waited so long for the controller to pay them their due that another day would prove no comparative hardship.
