In other words, when the current receipts of the state do not equal current expenditures, instead of “following the policy “of “the FitzGerald administration in New Ha- ven by assuring the people’ that low tax rates will pay their expenses (after the rates in question have been boosted 25 per cent as they have there) then borrowing money at high interest rates to care for deficiencies through bond issuee and the issuance of temporaryi nates,. the republican party will do as it} always has dome, ‘revise the laws” so as to raise momey emough to yay its debts. Is this plain to Mr. FitzGerald? A notable instance of this character following the last democratic adminis- tration in the state, when a deficit ooca- sioned by democratic mismanagement lof over $11,000.000 had to be financed by the republican party—financing that was promptly attended to. This we call “enlightenment.” ~We might quote the present pasoline tax, in a further ef- fort to “emiighten” the New Haven mayor's mind. The republican party, unlike Mr. FitzGerald, does not believe in taxing the plople as a whole to raise money for special purposes. The gaso- line tax requires payment of a few cents when an automobile owner.. who vses the state's highways, valued at motor fuel—and the pride of gasoline, with the tax included, is lower than the price in other states. We ‘can scarcely believe Mr, FitzGer- ald is honest in his opposition to this, as compared with his method of raising taxes and issuing bonds_we are more inclined to lay it to an effort on his part to create a faise impression and make lots of noise about the. taxes nf the state, so that his own financial con- Qition in’ New Haven may be laid aside while we answer his smoke scréen of aecusations. fieve the ‘republicans are not €0 mori- Dbund. but that, it unprofitable or - unjust laws have been enacted. they will move as..“justies . may require, and. substi- tuts proper laws by ‘“repealing or jamending.” ‘We firmly believe that the people of Connecticut” have faith in the republi- can. party to do.these . things. - They do not - have .the same degree of faithin Mr: FitzGerald’s party because men - like Mr. FitzGerald are criticising financial Dpropositions _ that they _know mnothing about, proved by their, records, If .this explanation of the platform, word by word; does not eniighten the New: .Haven- mayor, ‘we would be pleased ' to 'have him ask some more questions regarding) it.

Increase in the number of patients must necessarily entail in: crease ‘in equipment for their care. It is this.which, determines the capacity of the institution.” .

Middletown hospital ' is building ;a psychapathic -ward, and that |at the Norwich hospital has been com- pleted. Bach of these is planned to ac- commodate about 150, patients. The latter institution is _somewhat smaller than that at Middletown. “In - determining: who ‘shall be sent tc state ' hospitals’ - said 'Dr. Waterman, “I first. consider whether the patient in question will receive the most pos- sible benefit. ‘from "it, and- if' some one ele is going to derive ‘more, I-decide in his favor. There are at present two or three hundred :patients in state in- stitutions - who "are not having more. than 0 per.cent. of the ‘service they should - have, ‘bacause- the particular place where -they are is not suited: to their needs. - - For that reason, the com- mission feels that a psychiatric hospital, Which. would be a clearing house for all cases _of doubtful mentality, would “be of incaluable benefit” One reason for the difficulty of man- aging such hospitals is the feeling of the general public against an “asylum.” They feel tha t there is an awful finality about “having ' a member of “their fam- ily committed to a state institution. A paychiatric hospital” would do \away with this uncomfortable feeling, Dr. Waterman and his commitssion feel. The patient there would be given careful treatment, and would not be made to feel that his disease of the mind was insanity, or was incurable. The report of ‘the commission to the general assembly will make clear the néed for, such an institution, it is hoped, and the feeling is that the prop- er place for it would be the southern part of the state, in Fairfield county, where the population is increasing rap- idly. Commitment to the Middletown hos- pital of persons who are not really in- sane, but who must be taken care of, and of whom no other disposition can be made, is % potent reason for the overcrowded condition there, Dr. Wa- terman asserted. Old “people, suffering from senile deterioration, as well as young, wayward ones, are mingled with the hopelessly insane-bnes. A state in-| firmary would relieve this condition and solve many of the problems of over- crowding, Dr. Waterman believes. “The ultimate. desideratum,” he' said, “would be for a psychiatric ward in every genmeral hospital in every city of large population, ~where there would be sufticient equipment to care for patients having mental disorders, and where the! term ‘asylum’ would be eliminated en- tirely.” AMERICAN WOOLEN MILLS EMPLOY ABOUT 1,000 the” American Woolen Co., are at pres- ent - and “have been ~for: some ‘time the busiest manufacturing. plants _in .

The last case.of smallpox was reported by the Bridgeport Depart- ment of Health on Sept. 6, and it is lioped that the freedom of _the state from ‘smallpox during the, past four weeks is ‘an indication that the epi- demic which started in /December, 1921, has been finally checked. The 441 cases reported up to October 14th is . the largest number reported in Comnecticut during ‘any “year for which we have records. says the state health depart- ment.
