They had nursing care in the home, given by the Visiling Nurse Associa- tion. A housekeeper was procured by the Welfare Association. Extra food was sent in, as well as extra bedding. The children were in small crowded rooms and grew worse. Through strenuous cfforts of the board of health one child was finally admitted to the Hartford Isolation hospital at heavy expense to the city, as she is still there undergoing a long, slow convalescence. The baby continued to grow worse. Days went on till she was finally admitted in a dying condition to the Isolation Lospital in Hartford. It was too late—the baby died.

The assessors yesterday turned over a warrant to the tax collector, hut it was understood that there would be no actio on it until George P. Hyde, treasurer of the college, had a chance to confer with girls who own the cars. Most of the 48 seniors plan to leave the state after graduation, on June 17, but will have to pay the tax. If they return their registra- tion plates before July 1, they will be allowed a rebate. In past years Smith students have not had to pay an excise tax because under thz personal property tax plan, the tax was levied at their homes.
