That on December 20, 1920, my 1'"9 Elzabeth Goodrich, died in the city ot New Dritain and her death } was oceasioned by the negligence and indifference of the health department | of the city of New Britain. ‘ That =aid health department with- out having reasonable grounds there- for placed and enforced a strict quar- antine at a time wheén my wife was confined in childbirth: refused to per- mit a nurse to enter the premises for the purpose of caring for my said wife and then neglected to visit or inspect the premises or to take action on any of the repeated calls for emergency assistance. That because of the reasons above set forth and that for this reason the efforts of the physician which I em- ployed, and the members of my family and others were greatly hampered; my wife was subjected to necdless pain and suffering, and her death was ocea- sioned by the unwarranted, unjusti- flable, careless and - indifferent con- duet on the part of the officials of the health department of the city of New Britain. ‘hereby respectfully petition your to lay this matter before the the undersigned HllllVEIl FUND NOW TOTALS §14,082.08 Committee Still | Heads Contributions With $592.57—Ends Monday. | Woman’s The New Britain fund for European | relief today reached the total of $14,- 082.08, with $1,329.20 being added since yesterday- The woman’'s com- mittee still leads the field in the amount of contributions, having brought in $592.57 since the noon re- ports of Friday.

The home brew problem and the sale of malt and | hops by drug stores are two phases of our work which will be settled and settled satisfactorily by the com- munities themselves in response to public opinion.” “What are the things that giving you the most trouble?” Kramer was asked. Four Big Problems. “There are four problems that are very real, and that are daily making it impossible to enforce the Volstead | act as it should be enforced. There are the shipment of liquor from warehouses, the diversion of alcohol | from industrial purposes into bev- | erages, the use of medicines contain- ing alcohol as beverages, and the smuggling of liquor across our nor- thern and southern borders.” Commissioner Kramer went on to explain that shlpn(f of u'um' n are Mr. trucks, which is to a con- extenit was N R W mt?u goods from warehouses in Boston, ises. -n.-ywm-ds’ Providence and New York.
