MEDICAL INSPECTION NOT SETTLED
Joint Meeting of School Board and Selecen Reaches No De-
 cision-Adjowns Next Tuesday After Two Hour Ses- son-Town Counsel Tells Them He Believes Failure Garry Out Inspection Will Lose State School Money.

A two hour discussion during which the question was looked at from every point of view was held on Friday aft ernoon at the Joint meeting of the town school board, selectmen and Town Counsel H. H. Pettis, before whom the question of medical inspec- ton in the schools was under discus sion. The meeting began at 3.30 at the office of School Superintendent E. J. Graham.
 At the end of the time they had reached no conclusion except to hold another meeting next Tuesday after noon at 3.S0 at Superintendent Gra- hams office when the discussion will be taken up again. The town school committee iS also to hold a meeting of its own n Monday to discuss the situation.
 School Committee Chairman Charles O. Murphy presided and all the mem bers of the committee except Dr. P. J. Cassidy, were present. The three electmen-Casper K. Bailey, c. P Bushnell and A, w. Lillibridge-were all present, as was also Town Coun- sel H. H. Pettis.
 One thing that the persons at the meeting were all agreed upon was that the law providing for medical inspection should be complied with.
Norwich bulletin., 1916-01-29

Town Counsel Pettis gave them his opinion that non-complfance with the law involved, as he looked upon it, the certain withholding and loss to the town of the school money from the state that amounts to $14, 600.
 One of the ways that was suggested through which the medical inspection might be carried out was by the four town physicians. At present they are paid $100 for looking after the town poor and it was argued that if they had tn medical inspection added to their duties it would have to be un- der a fee system that would bring the cost at least up to and probably over the $1,000 that the school com mittee asked the annual town meet ing to provide.
 Another suggestion was that the work should be done by the town health officer. On this point it was argued that payment by a fee sys- tenn would have to be made and that this would fully equal the $1,OO0 cost
 It was apparent that it was the feeling of the town school committee that the best way, as they viewed it, and the most satisfactory from all standpoints was by the appropriation of the $1 ,000 which they originally asked from the town meeting, but which the voters cut down to $1O0.

Cause of Freight Accumulation.

The recent rapid accumulation of freight has been due to a number of causes, not the least of which was the dense fog hanging over the waters around New York the last few days. The New York, New Haven and Hart ford railroad, because of the fog, and because of an accumulation of freight on it's own lines, has been unable for some time past to take from the Penn sylvania railroad it's normal number of cars. The result has been that cars loaded with freight for points on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, or routed via that line, have accumulated rapidly until there are to- day on the Pennsylvania railroad ap- proximately 5000 cars awaiting such delivery,
