Thousands of dollars worth of electrical equipment was crushed in a garbage pick up snafu. A couple weeks ago a man was at the Seaforth Community Hospital to test the newly installed., transformers which supply the building with .electricity. He had his testing equipment in what looked to beet bat- tered old suitcase, and set it next to the hospital's garbage bins while running some -errand. Before the tester could return the garbage collector showed up and threw what he thought;looked,like "a battered -up suitcase" onto the truck with the •rest of the hospital -garbage. He crushed it with the rest of the garbage. By the time the tester missed his ',suit- case" and caught up with the garbage truck there was only enough left -of his equipment, valued at ,between $10,000 and $15,000, to show to an insurance agency.
