CITIZENS RESPONDING
WITH CLEANUP WORK.
City Carts Have Had Large Coilee-
tions In All Sections This Week.

That the citizens generally have made
response to the invitation to make this
week a cleanup time is indicated by
the experience of the street department
in the collection Of garbage and ashes
as Street Commissioner E. C. Lilli-
bridge says that there has been a no
table increase in the amount of refuse
that has been collected and that it
has been in all parts of the city, An
extra team and two men have been
added to the department force all the
week, experimenting to work of the
regular carts in all sections.
The special territory designated for
Friday and Saturday for attention by
collections of ashes by the city carts
in the city proper (second trip; Jail
Hill and vicinity on Friday; Greene
vile, SpaIding street and other streets
through to North Main street on Sat-
urday.
Fire Chief Stanton and a number of
the department men were busy all day
Thursday investigating conditions in
cellars about the business section of
the city, thus cooperating with the
City Beautiful committee in the gener-
al cleanup campaign being carried on
this week. Chief Stanton reports that
the condition of the city in general IS
good as only two or three violations
were discovered. When the attention
of the occupants Of the premises where
the violations occurred, was called to
the fact the matter was quickly recti-
fed. In the opinion Of the chief none
of the other cities in the state have
anything on Norwich.
The department has these inspec-
lions several times a year. By means
of a card index Chief Stanton keeps
in close touch with all changes and
frequent and thorough inspections
have resulted in bringing things up to
a high standard in Norwich. Chief
Stanton is Of the opinion that every
day ought to be cleanup day for
the townspeople.
A special despatch to the New Yrok
Times this week from Summit. N. J.,
showed how the women of that town
had taken the initiative in a cleanup
movement. It said:
Finding that there are no funds pro-
vided for the cleaning of the streets.
the Park and Street Committee Of the
Woman's Town and Improvement as
ISOLATION announced today that it
would undertake the work for the sum-
mer.
A notice was sent to every property
owner in Summit today calling atten-
ton to the proposed activities of the
notice stated that work would begin on
May rs when a wagon would make the
rounds of the city's streets to collect
dirt and refuse.
The woman explained that the plan
is only a trial ard suggests that II

not going more than ten miles an hour
when the accident occurred.
In the afternoon session Of court
witnesses for the defense were Israel
A. Cohen, Miranda Brodar, George Z.
Green and Mrs, Rose A. Davidson.
The last named is the daughter OF
Mr.. Gordon and was sitting on the
front seat beside Mr.. Gordon at the
time of the accident, She testified that
they had been to Ocean Beach that
evening, where they had stayed about
half an hour, and drove at such a
speed that it took them about an hour
to travel each way. When they ap-
preached the Thames square corner,
she said, there were two women stand
ing on the crosswalk which runs east
eTly from the Francis store corner. The
automobile bell was rung to warn
these women and the automobile was
travelling at a moderate rate of speed.
She saw Herbert H. Brown clinging
to the front of the machine when the
automobile struck the Rathbone drug
store window, but she did not see
Desn1arais. One of her knees was
hurt. but she was not thrown out of
the machine, and she was able to get
out herself, although a man who was
there helped her. A physician attend
ed to the injury to her knee after she
had gone home that night.
This closed the testimony for the
defense, and in rebuttal Attorney Des-
mond called DR.. w. K. Tingley to the
stand. The doctor said he Is surgeon
and gynecologist at the Backus hos
pital and has been connected with the
hospital from the beginning.
He was asked If Desnarais had ever
talked with him about the accident,
answering that the injured man had
done so.
When Attorney Desmond asked the
doctor what Desmarais had said, At
torney Hull objected to an answer be-
ing given to this question, and Judge
Greene sustained the objection. The
doctor was asked what the quality OF
the eatgut used at the hospital was
and he answered Al, and that they
We're proud of it. Attorney Hull OBJ
jeoted to the last statement about be-
ing proud of it, and the court ruled
that the pride could be left out.
Both sides rested at 3.56 and Attor-
ney Desmond opened the arguments at
3.59, after Major Hull said he had
some requests to charge to present,
but they were not ready yet as he had
not anticipated that the arguments
would be reached on Thursday. The
judge told him that he would endeavor
to give them fair consideration If Ma
jor Hull would prepare them and hand
them in later.
