The committee on education gave hearing Thursday afternoon on a bill presented by Mr. De Wolf, of East Lyme, concerning the fund devised by Elisha Miller, late of Lyme, deceased.

'schools have come under the town system, and the fund cannot be used within the described district lines. Years ago the fund was town and the interest has been used by the town. The legislature is now asked to formally authorize the town to take over this fund, legally, and use the proceeds for town school pur- poses. There was no objection to the and the committee will probably make favorable report. Taxation of Motor Boats.

The committee on humane institu- tions gave public hearing in the hall of the house at Hartford Wednesday, on the establishment of a state sana- torium at Killingly. Mr. Back sald that this matter is favored by manu- facturers representing 40,000 people, ‘who are desirous of doing all that can be done for these people ,and the Norwich institution is the nearest and there is delay in getting patients to consent ot go there. There is but one institution east o f the Connecticut river, and there is not adequate room there for those who apply for admis- sion. Such a sanatorium as advocated ‘would be a benefit in showing patients how to care for themselves in a mark- degree. There are now thirty patients who should be in & sanatorium, but who hesitate to g0 to Norwich. There is no land sale scheme a tract of six- ty acres on high elevation and avail- able for the service which would be given the state as a site for the loca- tion. It is understood Mr. Back stands ready to give the site to the state. ‘Attorney Elbert L. Darble of Daniel- son said there was keen need for such an institution. It is" not a fin- ancial scheme to bemefit anyone in ‘Windham county. General J. W. Atwood of Plainfield, said his section of the state had not received much state benefit. There was need for a tuberculosis institution in Windham gounty and he urged the assurance that it would receive hearty committee to favorable action ,with the local support. There is merit in the project and that section of the state ought to be awarded. He belleved the institution could be started with an appropriation of from $12,000 to $15,000. He believed the institution was an absolute necessity. Dr. Maher, of New Haven, & member of the commission said the ‘cost of the establishment would be $100,000. Mr. Reardon said he represented a concern employing 12,000 persons and that a tuberculosis institution in that section would be of incalculable bene- it Dr. Maher said $9,000 was paid for the land for the Norwich sanatorium and the balance of $101,000 for eon- struction. He was not opposed, but for the expense to the stdte to main- tain 2 new institution. It would be more economic to enlarge the Norwich plant. By choice of patient ~1y g0 to_places at a distance. Robert W. Boys of Killi repre- senting 800 employes, sa. _ue insti- tution_would remove the menace from the afficted who did not want to 0 away from their home town. J. F. Gardner, Jr., of Brooklyn, an- other manufacturer, spoke in praise of the site that the owner proposed to give to the stite, was an ideal loca- tion. Mr. Atwood believed that $15,000 would be a good starter, even if the committee considered it to be an en- tering_ wedge. F. E. Cunneen favored all that had been said and that a state institution in Killingly would accommodate & large_section and from the viewpoint of education money appropriated by the state would be well expended. He did not believe the estimate of cost of construction was good, and he did not consider the first cost of building would be above $15,000, and he believed an appropriation of $25,000 or $30,000 ‘would cover the first cost. The gravity supply of water is adequate for all hospital purposes. Dr. Maher said that buildings, with land donated, for the care of 50 pa- tients would eost perhaps $75,000. A sanatorium of that sixe would be very expensive in comparison and would cost one-quarter more per _patient than in larger institutions. Hospital case is never so expensive as patients in sanatoria. He was opposed to any more tuberculosis institutions, but he @id not think it advisable to have a tubereulosis institution for every 40,000 of population. General Atwood eald there was op- position to the establishment of the Norwich state hospital on the ground that it was not nsco-c.rr ‘but that the enlargement of the Middlitown institu- tion was preferable. This has been proven to the contrary. Mr. Darbie said it was difficult to get the foreign-born people aficted to Itave home for tuberculosis. DOLLAR DAY CROWDS THRONGED THE STORES. Many Bargain Seekers Made Holiday Trip to Norwich on Wednesday. Dollar day, Wednesday, was as big succese as could be expected. Dollar 'y crowds thronged the stores all day well into the evening.
