It is claimed that Virga transferred his house in Jefferson avenue to his wife last Februarv to avoid the payment of debts. The plaintiff claims that Virga owes him $1,000 and he asks $2,000 damages. The suit‘is said to be a sequel to a complaint made recently ‘o the police by Virga that Andrelli had run away with his daughter, Mary, and had stolen $200. in . Children Cry .

It covers the number of accidgits reported dur- ing the last two - and total sums expended fo! pensation and doctors’ .biils; also approximation of the number of persons under ' the act. The relation of doctors to the administration of the act is discussed and, recommendation made that the commissioner be given power to change doctors. Recent decisions of the supreme court are discussed and explained, and nineteen amendmeénts to the act proposed, one or two of which are somewhat fundamental, but most of which are more o: less tech- nical, having to do with ihe admin- istration of the act. For the twenty-two months in- cluded in the report 7,134 accidents were reported, of which 20,374 were cases”calling for compensation in ad- dition to doctors’ bills, the amount paid out therefor by self-insurers and insurance companies amounting to $3,082,715. From the best figures ob- tainable it appears that 544,885 people in Connecticut are protecied by the aet. Tables are given. showing that of the 140 employers carrying their own risk, 60 maintain first aid departments and 83 have emergency hospitals with one or more trained nurses in attend- ance. 1In discussing these incustrial hospitals, the commissioners say that it may be “laid down as an almost in- variable rule that the surgical results from such hospitals, where they are properly administered, are distinctly to the advantage of the employes. In- deed, in certain large plants, those cases of infection which are so fre- quent as affecting the general run of employes, are practically unknown.” adding that the danger is “that a phy- sician will not be called in every case where his services are needed” The most satisfactory results “are found in those plants where there is a well- equipped emergency hospital with conscientious trained nurses and pos- ibly an orderly in attendance, the ital being v ed daily, or oftener, by one or more r\putable surgeor ir. general practice in the community. Physicians receive considerable a tention. The called ‘“‘contract doc tor,” who is employed on a salary by insurance companies or large employ- ers, comes in for his share. too, do those physicians, who habitually, either by a private arrangements as reason, treat practically all of the cases of cerT¥in employers or insurance companies: The commissioners point out that, “aside [rom an almost unavoidable de- 8| such a e to stand by his employer, trouma, and,fai point v [ diagn and treatment of disorde @s such and independent of the source. He s apt to be undi nicious of the es workmen.

Another interes i that of Douthwright vs. which the supreme court if the injury is sustained in Conneec- ticut, the claims falls under the Con- necticut act, even though the contract of employment was made in some other state. Perhaps the most important part of the report is that containing the rec- ommendations as tq legislation. Nine- teen amendments to the act are rec- cmmended or suggested. Several of these are mere verbal changes made necessary by experience to avoid am- biguity or correct minor defects. One amendment simplifies the method by which an emplover of less than five persons can come under the act, if he so desires;vanother recommends that the period allowable for partial in- capacity be the same as that allow- able for total incapacity, that is 520 ‘weeks; another that, under certain conditions, interest shall be paid, by the employer or the insurer on over- due compensation; and another pro- vides for appeals from a part of an leXving the undisputed portion to become effective atwonce. Another amendment provides that. where appeals are taken and one of the parties is not represented by coun- sel and the party taking the appeal shall not claim the case for trial with- which may Connecged ions, 1im- ided that, the | =3 iecisions of in a reasonable iime from the return day, the court may of its own motion affirm the award. This is a further move on the part of the commissioners to checkmate appeals taken for the purposes of delaying settlement or harrowing g claimant. The commie- sioners also recommend that under certain circumstances they ™ permit- ted to make awards “pro forma,” amounting in practice to a reservation of a, case by the commissioner for thc advice of the supreme court. This amendment, however, contains a pwo- visions to the effect that the superior court may itself act on the matter, if in its opinion the principles of law involved in the decision are free from reasonable doubt. Two amendments to Section 5235 give the commissioners power to re- voke or suspend the certificafes of employers carrying their own risk, where they are dilatory in investigat- ing or adjusting claims, or in mak- ing payments. A way is also pointed out to the legislature, if it deems wise, for lessening what seems to many the harshness of limiting compensation to those cases where the injury can be specifically located at a siven time and place, without opening the door by the use of the vague and inade- quately defined term ‘“occupational diseases.” In this connection the commissioners say that, should the legislature deerl such an amendment desirable, the following is suggested: “If an injury arises out of and in the course of the employment, it shall be no bar to a claim for compensation that it cannot be traced to a definite occurrence which can be located in point ‘of time and place, nor shall it be a defense that it is, either in whole or in part, a disease. On the compensation commission now are George B. Chandler of Rocky Hill, First district; Dr. J. J. Donohue Norwich. Second district; George E Beers, Guilford, Third distric ward T. Buckingham, Bridgeport, Fourth district; and Fred M. Wil liams, New Milford, chairman, Fift! district.
