HEATING SYSTEM IN SCHOOL GRITIGIZED Committee Reports Five Plants in Lincoln Street Building Members of the school survey com- mittee who yesterday visited the Uin- coln street school report having found four furnaces and a steam heating plant in the building, .a total of five separate heating plants in a build- ing containing but 10 rooms. The inspecting party was headed by Chairman Thomas H. Kehoe of the snbcommittee investigating the need of additional buildings, but as some of the members of that group are also on the subcommittee looking into the defects in present achool construction, a thorough inspection was made, resulting in the finding of what members of the committee | is a very poor system of furnishing heat. It is the plan of the committee to bring this matter to the attention of the entire committee when it meets Saturday afternoon to make an in- spection of the Nathan Hale school on Tremont street. If the committee deems it advisable, it is expected that the school committee will be given suggestions as to changes that would meet the approval of the survey group. In Saturday’'s inspection special at- tentlon will be paid to the combined auditorium and gymnasium used in the Nathan Hale school, since it is this type of school construction that the committee will probably recom- mend to the city meeting board, ginhotham gave Tabert more lashes. | " Unmitigated Cruelty, i The “whipping boss,” according to the witness, had his heel on Tabert's, neck, grinding his face in the soft | sand,. while the whipping was going on.

NINE CHILDREN KILLED BY AUTOMOBILES HERE IN 1922 Carelessness of Pedestrians and Driv- ers Responsible, Motor Vehicle Dept. Finds in Analysis. i | | i An elaborate analysis of New Brit- ain's fatal accidents, occurring with- in the last year, shows that the prime causes for deaths of this nature are the carelessness of pedestrians, and the carelessness of motorists in not taking the necessary precautions against children playing in the street, according to a report issued today by the department of motor vehicles. In 1922 this city had nine automo- bile fatalities to account for. The| statistics compiled from the nine| analyses are interesting. All the victims were under legal ago. Seven were less than eight years old and the two others were 10 | and 17 years of age. Seven of th»; | victims were pedestrians, one child was killed while stealing a ride on an automobile, and the ninth was a passenger in a death car. Four of | the fatalities occurred in the Pprox- | imity of & o'clock. Two were .on | Stanley street. Only two occurred at intersecting streets; one on August 25| at the corner of Lafayette and Wash- | ington streets and the other at Broad | and Grove streets on November 12.| April was the worst month in the| year, with three deaths in this city. This New Britain analysis is valu- | able in that it is indicative of the general condition in the state. It is only by the greatest amount of pre- ventive and educative work that the department of motor vehicles is able | to control the fatal aceident situation, | and calls for co-operation are con- tinually necessary. | proval by next Tuesday. | poenas and Impose a thirty day jail| sentence if they were ignored. | tor Brooks claims this would give th | fire board foo much power. | him. | board. i elerk of the police court and any per- | belonging to the city shall pay the| | stumbling Dblock on the smooth path i Haven Road ~Sclicdulel Wil he f Two (;huses 5 t 2 8.n% Sunday, April 20, New (Special to The Herald). | Ohanged to Conform to New Time, Hartford, April 12.—Senator John 8.
