ATTENDANGE LIMIT ATN.B.H. 3. SPORTS Suggestion Made to Board by Principal Slade —_— Recommendations from Principal L. P. Slade of the Senlor High school that no athletic contests be held in the future in New Britain when the antielpated attendance 1is greater than the playing field accommoda- tions, that attendance be limited at tuture games, and that portable “bleachers” be procured by the city, were considered at yesterday's meet- | ing of the school board. His recommendations were tabled after some discussion. The princi pal’s communication to the school committee was the result of a dis- igreement that arose last month when temporary bleachers at the Hartford-New Britain game collaps- cd. The bleacher question was again brought up with a discussion of let- ters from Vice-Principal J. C. Moody, dircctor of High school athletics, Buflding Inspectors Hennessy and Rutherford, and Principal Slade, Chairman King opened the dle- cussion with the statenient that in his opinion the school authorities did everything reasonably possible to provide for the convenience and safety of the spectators, It was brought out that Mayor A, M. Paonessa had written the school board enclosing letters from the building inspectors, but making no | recommendations, The inspectors | had claimed the bleachers were un- safe and were used in spite of their objections. Slade Compliments Moody | Principal Slade complimented Mr. Moody for the way he handled ar- | rangements for the game and said if | there was any rr-pxlmanrl he (Slade) | was willing to accept | Mr. Moody, the officlal at which | the bullding department's criticism was directed, said the temporary bleachers were procured late, that he had asked the W. H. Allen Co, | to send eight men and a superin- tendent to erect them and he sup- posed they were safe, A pait of Mr. Moody's e lows: “As T stated to you before, the | first knowledge I had of any com- | plaint as to the condition of the bleachers was about 1 o'clock when Deputy Inspector Rutherford came | to the field and requested admission | as he said that he was there to in- | spect the bleachers, “I do not know with whom Mr. Rutherford may have talked at the | school Saturday morning, but he did not talk with me personally as T was | at the field most of the morning | from 10 o'clock on. “As soon as I realized that there was difficully about the carriages of the bleachers sinking in the mud, I, | s . took steps to notify the fol- | | quested by the teachers: | third people In the center section of thess bleachers that they were becoming unsafe, and warned them to leave the benches. This can be proved by a large number of spectators who were sitting there at the time. 1 was then called to the box office tor some purpose and upon returning to the bleachers, I found that the may- or and the sergeant had taken charge. I, therefore, returned to the gate to take care of my duties there, “I may have made some reference to the Insurance we were carrying but certainly not in the sense im- plied in Mr., Rutherford's letter to the mayor. Of course, I consider that no amount.of insurance would warrant any lack of care for the protection of life and limb. “I am sorry that the bullding in- spector did not make an inspection as soon as he received a complaint. 1 was at the field at that time and no doubt we could have gotten the builders there to put the bleachers in such a condition as to ‘meet the approval of the inspectors, “I did everything in my power fn arranging for this game so that it might run off sroothly and I regret that any difficulty should have arisen.” Rutherford’s Letter To Mayor Deputy Inspector Rutherford's let- ter to the mayor which was after- ward forwarded to the school de- partment follows in part “At 10:20 a. m., Saturday, Nov, 14, I called Mr. Moody at the high school and notified him that we had received a complaint regarding the bleachers at Willow Brook park, and talked with him in regard to proper precaution being taken to prevent anyone from falling into the trenches heing dug in connection with the field building. Mr. Moody's reply was ‘if anyons was worried about the bleachers to send them to him any they would be taken care of, and if anyone did fall they had | them insured for $10,000 anyway." H. S.

Witt asked that the matter be lald over until next spring. He sald he feared the danger of going to ex- pense of constructing a walk at this time of the year. The rest of the members did not feel the same way and the' recommendation was ac- cepted, The board authorized the finance committeg to enter into a contract with E, C. Hallston to construct snow guards at the Central Junior high school for $436, and to epend $1,650 for panic bolts in several schools throughout the city Bills amounting to $10,623.62 were reported by the finance committee and approved by the bhoard.
