EIOiSe Pig
Deal No
Bargain

Whether the County Building
pork barrel IS filled is a matter
OF small concern today TO 50
little piggies roofing contentedly
in their pen al Eloise Hospital.
To Charles McCauley. pur-
chasing agent, however. It Is q
matter of great concern. He ma e
his complaint personally to TIE
county board of auditors.
The 81 riggieS, weighing al
average of 55 pounds each. were
purchased by DR.. T. K. Gruber
for Sl,054, 1r about SIT each, ne
reported.
This Is an outrage" Nc
Cauley declared.
"When DR.. Gruber bought the
pigs. the market price for 81
pound porkers was only S8.11,"
he charged.
II was reported that Or. Grubnr
had made the purchase while
driving along a country road near
Romulus from A farmer who was
selling out his herd of swine. He
thought the price was reasonable.
The auditors decided to forget
about the purchase price wnen
they were told that the pigs, after
being fattened up on garbage from
the hospital. would show a profit
of several hundred dollars.
They did rule, however, that the
next time DIR. Gruber fihds q
bargain he'll have to clear his pur-
chase through McCauky's depart
ment. q
The pigs did not testify.
