Cowles of the Kensington post office announced this morning that the postal receipts for the month of September show an Increase of 35 per cent over the corresponding month of last yeur. These figures are surprising, accord- ing to the postmaster, and are an exceptionally large increase for a single month. The recetpts for the last quarter increased 13 per cent over the corresponding quarter of the previous year. September also proved to be a busy month for money orders, especially in the rural districts, over $200 being received in orders.

He also makes his annual recommendation that a defi- nite plan for sewage disposal be drawn up before state authorities “shame” Plainville into such action. Municipal garbage disposal is an- other step which the health officer advises.

Failure of one meat mar- ket to cooperate has resulted in the | failure of the scheme. When or- iginally broached last week the idea of Wednesday afternoon closing throughotit the ycar found favor with many storekeepers and it was understood this the particular mar- ket in question was well disposed toward it.

JUDD BY SHALLPOX BIL Denounces Health Oficer Rol bins for Charging Gity $988 EPIDEMIC COSTS 86,7 Formation of Girls’ Club Under Consideration — Pequabuck Gotf Club Has Election of Officers— $48,000 Corporation. “If the city is to spend several thousand dollars a for maintenance of its health depart- ment, it is time that a full time health officer was ergaged,” was the comment of Councilman Homer H. Judd today, after learning that the city council last evening had voted to appropriate $1,200 to pay for cer- tain bills in connection with the smallpox epidemic last winter, which had been held up by Mr. Judd as chairman of the committee appoint- ed by Mayor W. Raymond Crumb to approve all expenditures. Mr. Judd was absent from last night's session because of illness in the family and he was incensed be- cause of the council voting to pay such bills without his approval. Councilman Frank Merrill, also a member of the committee, ques- tioned one of the bills but he, with Councilman W. E. Hough, the third member of the committee, voted to settle such bills as were pending. dudd Questions 1lls Mr. Judd, in commenting on the subject this morning, made the fol- lowing statement: “I question the obligation of the ity to pay the bill of Dr. B. B. Robbins, city health officer, for $988, to cover vaccina- tions made at the city clinic The health officer is engaged by the city on a salary basis and all of the vaccinations referred to were made by him personally. I have been in touch with 14 other local physicians, all of whom have informed me that they were not asked to asrist at the clinic during the amalipox acare but that during the diphtheria immuni- zation campaign where there was no return, their services were often solicited. Personally I feel that the people of the city were unduly scar- ed into the vaccination program. One doctor informed me that the patient which he was treating for smallpox and who was quarantined for that disease, did not have small- pox at all. “1 also fajl to find where health officer, Dr. Robbins, came in who had the disease. year, | This tenement was in Dr. own house, according to the bill which he originally submitted and vacate the old Quinion farm on :Ch“"]’\h\l HIl, which was then turn- ed into an isolation hospital. “When Doctor Robbins solicited the appointment as city health offi- cer, he cxplaincd that he would be able to affect a considerable saving tor the city. A check of the depart- ment, however, will plainly indicate to anyone intcrested that the mai tenance of that branch is costing us more than it ever did. “An investigation developed that all doctors at the factory clinics charged 75 cents for each vaccina- tion in contrast to the $1 charged by Dr. Robbins in the city clinic. In my opinion the smallpox epidemic agitation was made for the health officer’s personal benefit, “All of the bills which T held up, | with the exception of the one sub- mitted by Dr. Robbins for vaccina- tions, werc not itemized and were made out by the same party. IFor that reason I felt that 1 could 1ot approve them and consequently did not.” The question of the unp: bills was brought up hy Councilman Wil- liam A. Hayes at the council meet- |ing last evening. He criticized the members of the committee for hold- ing up the bills and it was upon his motion that the council voted to pay them. { Mr. Judd this morning stated that [ he felt that the bill submitted by the health officer for vaccinations was excessive and that he had en- ager Bob Sneideman s book games for Sunday afternoon, starting with October 14. 1t is also reported fhat he is leaving his car out of the garage nights in the hope that it may become the birthplace of another litter of feline mascots.

Robbina was for a tenant who was asked to deavored to get the doctor to reduce his bill for such services to $700. This the doctor refused 1o do, ac- cording to the coungilman. Mr. Judd also called attention to the fact that in addition to the vaccina- tion charges, a separate bill had been submitted by the doctor for supplies for the clinic. It is pointed out that the action of the council last night in approv- ing al! unpaid bills in connection with the smallpox situation last winter, eliminates the possibility of withholding payment any longer. Bills already paid total $5,556.56 and the payment of the bills ap- proved last night will make the total jcost of the epidemic to the city ap- proximately $6,700. May Form Girls’ Club An application from Mrs. Flora P. Eastman of Mellen street to use the old town hall on Main street for a girls' club when that building 1s vacated by the Boys' club, which will move into its new home on lau- | rel street eithor the latter part of this month or the first part of No- vember, was received by the city council at its regular meeting last night. Following a short discussion, Mayor Raymond Crumb appointed Councilmen W. E. Hough, William A. Hayes and Charles R. Anderson | to Investigate the situation and sub. mit a report at a later meeting. Two months ago the old town hall, | along with several other pieces of city property including the city hail | on North Main street, was advertis- ed for sale, but no bids were receiv- ed on the property. It is possible ' that the desire of the city officials | to dispose of the property. if a suit- aple offer is received, may result in the application being denied. It is known that the building itself has been looked over on several occa- slons by building experts and con- | demned as unsafe for athletic acti- ! vities. { Petitions Received Residents of Lewis, Concord, Lex- inglon, Arlington and Fairfield streets as far as Arlington street ap- peared before the city council last night and petitioned that body to accept the above mentioned streets and to place them in proper condi- tion. They stressed the fact that *r the past three years they had been paying a first district tax but were receiving none of the facilities, ex- cept sewers, which were usually af- forded. They also complained be- cause of the failure of the pub ic works department to carry away ashes and rubbish once each month, as in the custom in the first district. Mayor W. Raymond Crumb point- ed out that it would be impossible to relieve the situation this year be- cause of the fact that no appropria- tion had beengmade in the city bud- get to care fof the work, It is very probable, however, according to the mayor, that the work can be taken | care of early next summer. Buperintendent of Public Works Oscar Anderson explained that the streets were in such condition that it was impossible for his trucks to pass over them to collect ashes but when streets are accepted, this fea- ture would be taken care of. The expense of all rough grading is assumed by the abutting property owners while the city pays the cost of surfacing. A petition from property owners on Artisan street for a fire hydrant was referred to the board of fire commissioners. Three property owners on Mine street from Harrison street to Brew- ster road requested that the street be placed in condition for ucceptance: by te: city and that sidewalks, curbs and gutters be laid, was referred to the street committee. The petiticn- | ers agreed to assume the cost of the | work. Hcalth Officer's Report ! been One thousand, one hundred and | soventy-eight school children were given the eye test and weighed dur- | ing the month of September, ac- cording to the report submitted to | the council by Dr. B. B. Robbins, city | health officer. During the month 94 children were treated for miscellaneous ail- ments, nine were assigned to the | health school and ten home cal's were made. Case of Infantilc Paralysis Of the 28 cascs of contagious discases reported to the health de- partment during the month, one was a case of {nfantile paralysis. The patient, Miss Alice Briggs, 22, daugh- ter of John Rriggs of Washington street, Forestville, has been re- moved to the isolation hospital in Hartford and two contacts have been quarantined, according to Dr. Rob- bine. Hearings | Following hearings on assessments for street improvements on Cottage. | Dudley, Farl and Tdgewood streets. the city council voted to permit the assessments, as prepared by the street committee, to stand. Street Lights Voted Upon the recommendation of the lighting committee. the city council approved the placing of one addi- tional incandescent street light on |Jennings road and one on Smith street. Fence D'spute Councilman W. E. Hongh of the ‘fence committee reported on a fence dispute between Harry Stone and {l.ouis Riemer on West Washington street. Iorestville. 1'pon his recom- mendation, the council voted to notify Mr. Stone to go ahead with TO-MORROW tepairs to his portion of the fence and in the event Mr. Reimer falled to take care of his section, he would be justified in completing the work and charging Mr. Rlemer double the expense involved. A copy of . the vote is to be sent to Mr. Reimer. To Purchase Land Upon the recommendation of Mayor W. Raymond Crumb, the council last evening voted to pur- chase a strip of land having a front- age of 150 feet on Frederick street just west of the bridge over Mine Brook for the sum of $200. An op- tion on the property was secured by Mayor Crumb several weeks ago, The property acquired will be used in the course of a year when the present bridge i& to be replacea by a concrete structure. The strip of land will enalle the city to elin.- inate a section of the curve now « isting and will @lso permit ¢ widening of the highway at this point. Pipe Line Permit The city council at its meeting las! evening, as a matter of form, gave its approval to the New Departure Mfg. Co. for the laying of a six inch cast iron water pipe on Foley, Center and Valley streets and an eight fnch cast iron water pipe across Valley street hese pipes lead from an artesian well recently driven by the company in the rear of oley street to the plant of the New Departure on Val- ley street.
