Conditions so insanitary as to be likely to spread disease, and a gen- eral lack of sanitation so flagrant as to raise the indignation of members of the building commission, are al= leged to have been found in a re- cent inspection of the plumbing in the schools of the c Action Monday Night. The matter will be brought before the entire board at a session Monday evening and indications are that the school commission will be asked some ‘pointed questions as to why condi- tions such as found by the commis- sioners were allowed to exist.

New Haven Case. New Haven, Sept. 16.—Decision was reserved until next Wednesday in the city court today after the hearing of jitney drivers who were charged with illegally operating thor vehicles. The cases were regarded in the nature of a test of a new plan to operate motor buses wherein coupons were printed in a weekly paper issued in behalf of the jitneymen and three coupons were recognized as entitling the holder to transportation. Arguments of Defense. Counsel for the drivers contented that the publishers of the weekly paper had as much right to give away free bus rides as any newspaper has to give away premiums, or a store has to glve trading stamps, and that the possessor of a current issue of the paper could ride as long as he wanted to on any of the company buses. The first case heard showed that the driver had been operating on Sun- day on which day of the week the paper publishers did not intend to operate. and so the case of a driver arrested on Saturday was taken up. Much Argument. There was much argument between counsel and the prosecutor and com- ment by Judge Hoyt as to the cases, and the publisher of the paper was called as a witnese. It appeared the paper was a local edition of a paper published elsewhere by Charles Bright, the witness. He outlined a plan for free transpoitation by means of cou- pons. This plan was told of in detail and contracts were exhibited embrac- ing motor buses. Counsel for the ac- d made arguments and the case was closcd with decision reserved.

In some of the school build- i . however, conditions are fairly satisfactory and in a few cases, good. A discussion of the case with mem- bers of the commission this morn- ing indicated that they are in favor of taking a positive stand in the mat~ ter. In view of that fact, it is not at all unlikely that Monday night's session will vote a communication to the school board with crders to place the schools in proper sanitary condi- tion. Development Expected. Shouldfguch action be taken, more interesting developments may be looked for. Compliance with a re- quest to clean up the schools would necessitate the expenditure of a large sum of money. Mayor O. F. Curtis is known to favor a program of strict cconomy #énd it is not expected that he will look upon the action of the building commission in a favorable light. because of the money consid- eration. Statements of members of the com= mission indicate that strenuous objec- tions from that quarter are expected. The board feels, however, that just such recommendations are necessary at this time and a part of their duties, ¢herefore they are determined that action be taken, fully cognizant of the probable outcome.
