REPORT OF THE BOARD OF HEALTH


The Board of Health organized at their first meeting with Victor N. Cluff, chairman, and Edward Sullivan, secretary.


The board then drew up a contract for the collection of garbage and waste and advertized for bids. It was apparent from the beginning that the money appropriated, instead of being $5,000.00 for garbage and $3,000.00 for waste, should have been just reversed. In order to be able to accomplish both services the board unani- mously decided to consider only bids that included both services. After advertising and receiving twelve bids the board awarded the contract to Mr. Brodus, who was the low bidder subject to his qualifying as to the bond requirements. After a lapse of two weeks, Mr. Brodus could not put up the required bonds and the board decided to call for new bids. In conjunction with the Town Council, new contracts were drawn up and after advertising the board received eight bids. The contract was awarded to Mr. Canelas of Wilmington who was the low bidder on both services.
