seven hours to do what the Emmons Trucking Company did in three" Mrs. Lowell said.
 I'm giving you Scott Smiths re- port" said the mayor, wont you hear me out first"
 "Let Emmons do it." said Mrs. Lowell.
 'The retiring mayor vetoed the board award to the Emmons Go, " said the mayor. We are trying to cope with the situation"
 T hope you appreciate that" he added, drily.
 The mayor then started to read Scott Smiths report, saying by way of an aside.
 "scott-smith is a Republican, by the way, Mrs. Lowell.
 T don't care what he is',' retorted Mrs. Lowell. I'm only thinking of the best interests of the city"
 As the mayor started to say that Scott- t-Smith's men had not only re- moved new ashes and rubbish, but also removed ashes that had ac- cumulated in the buildings, Mrs. Lowell interrupted:
 "How do you knowP"
 "Well," said the mayor, T trust Scott-Smith's report"
 Where did he get his informa- tion?" asked Mrs. Lowell.
 Prom the janitors and workmen, I presume" said the mayor.
 Would you take the word of the janitorS and workmen against that of reputable contractorp" asked Mrs. Lowell,
 Doesn't Care
 Obviously irritated, the mayor set forth that he didn't care who did the job--the EmmoAs Go. or the street department, or any other company. He was trying to read a report, he said.
 He then went on with the report. The mayor said that MT. scott- Smiths report gave what he consid- cred too conservative estimate. He pointed out that during the past two weeks the street department has been obliged to remove ashes in sev- eral schools which should have been removed by the former contractor.
 He illustrated his point by saying that ashes from the Welton school had not been removed for A weeks; while in many other schools no ashes had been removed for six weeks. The extra work required in doing this back work has increased the proportionate costs for the month of January, he said.
 The mayor said that scott- Smith Is willing to have the street depart ment continue with work for the rest of the year, but thinks 1t will cost $2,000 instead of $l,S00. For that reason the mayor advised that the board call for new bids. The board voted to cal for bids Jan. %, in the afternoon before the meeting.
 Praises Department
 The mayor praised the work of the street department during the past two weeks. He said that as a result of the job, all the bins in the schools are now "spic and cpan."
 "They weren't that way, when the street department started the job,' he said, adding that as 8 result of this and the fact that the new con- tractor will have only il months work to do, the contract price should be. far below $500.
 "Will the new contractor" asked Mrs. Lowell, sweep up the base- ments after removing ashes SO that the basements will look as clean as @ kitchen floor"
 That would be very nice," said the mayor.
 "Yes," said Mrs. Lowell.
