ROBERT MORRISON, Chief of Staff at Brackenridge Hospital, and DR. R. O. SWEARINGEN. He said there were some reports recommending that a change be made in this equipment; but before cancelling out a contract with a major concern the Council wanted to hear from the Doctors. Dr. Morrison and Dr. Swearingen discussed the matter and their report in detail. In conclusion, Councilman Perry asked that Dr. Swearingen put on the bottom of the report, "We the undersigned request that the City of Austin cancel the contract it has with American Sterilizer Company and put this out on bids to the three companies mentioned which would be acceptable to the staff at the hospital", and signed by the people who made this report, by the Executive Committee, Chief of Staff, and by other members of the Medical Staff. The City Manager stated if he could get a list of products that are acceptable to the staff, the Council could review them. It would be beneficial if possible to get a dozen manufacturers which any of their drugs would be acceptable, and then bids could be taken from these dozen manufacturers for a year's supply of drugs and the doctors would have a type of product that would be satisfactory to them. _ CITY OF AUSTIN, TEXAS 838 The Mayor stated after the Council receives the signatures, it will again ask Mr. Wilson and Mr. Eskew to check into the contract; and have a conference with The American Sterilizer Company and American Hospital Supply Corporation.
