Next Meeting of

The Public Utilities Commission,
in a decision rendered in regard to
the accident at Strong sub station OF
the Franklin Light and Power Co,
August 90 last, which resulted in the
death of Leroy Small, says that the
commission is again reminded by
this sad accident how important and
necessary it is that every person who
is employed in this hazardous occu-
patton should not only become thor
oughly acquainted and familiar
with all the rules of safety, but
faithfully obey them and strictly live
up to them as we'll.

The hospital expending the greatest

station.
They were finishing their work and
were picking up their tools prepar-
atory to going home at about $50 T.
NJ, when Mr. Small noticed that the
lightning arresters at the sub-sta-
ton needed to be adjusted. These
lightning arresters were placed in a
small building covered with corruga-
ted iron or upon a platform about
three feet from the ground within
the sub station enclosure and We're
connected with the $1,000 volt line.
AT the time of the accident the
small metal covered doors in front of
each of the three arresters were held
in position by nails, the hinges not
having been put on. Mr., Small, ac-
companied by Mr. McCrillis, went
upon the platform and removed the
door from the front of the first unit.

string which he attached to the
grooved wheel at the end of one of
the brass rods.

] charged with $1,000 volts. The safe
! ty rules require that no person
should go nearer than three feet to
a $4,000 volt line, and that no work
! be done upon such line unless the
current is shut off: Apparently Mr..
Small was not fully aware of the
danger to which he was exposing
himself, although he had been in the
employ of this company for seven
years and was regarded as an expert
enced and careful workman. He
was evidently making this adjust
ment as he had been accustomed to
do, for he had the string there for
that purpose, and was instructing
Mr.. McCrillis as to the manner in
which he claimed the adjustment
should be made.
1.-THE three adjuster units were
placed about Is inches apart with a
clear space of 16 inches between
their live parts and the wall of the
building. Having adjusted the first
arrester or unit, Mr.. Small attempt
ed to pass to the next unit, within
the 16inch space inside the building,
instead of going outside and remov
ing the next small door, as he might
have done. He came too near to
the high voltage apparatus, suddenly
there was a flash and Mr.. Small re-
ceived the shocl. from the $4,000
volt line. killing him instantly.
"Mr. McCrillis, who was upon the
platform near the small door, was
thrown to the ground by the vio-
lence of the shock, and Mr.. Small S
body was thrown out through the
door to the ground. The ground
was so heavily charged with electric
ity that McCrllis was unable to
reach the switch nearby to shut off
the current, but he Immediately
called the Pennington Office and had
the current shut off and gave notice
of the accident DIR. c. w. Bell, the
medical examiner, was called by Nc
CriIlis and arrived about Is minutes
after the accident occurred. He
found Mr.. Small lying upon the
ground face down, and after an ex-
animation, he pronounced him dead.
This accident was probably
caused by a lack Of knowledge on
the part of Mr.. Small and his failure
to apprehend the danger he incurred
in attempting to adjust such a high
voltage line without first shutting
off the power. Although he had
had seven years experience. this
/ particular form of danger had not
apparently been brought to his at
tontion.
We are again reminded by this
sad accident how important and'nec-
cssary it is that every person VINO is
employed in this hazardous occupa
ton should not only become thor
oughly acquainted and familiar with
sall tho rules of safety, but faithfully
obey them and strictly live mp to
them as we'll It is only by the
faithful observance Of every possible
precaution and tho strict OBJ
servance of every rule Of

Tie Cost Of Maintaining
Patients in Our Hospitals

Few people realize how much it
costs to care for q patient in a hos
pital" remarked Secretary j. F. Bag
ley Of the State Board of Charities
and Corrections and continued:
For instance, the average weekly
cost per patient for the a hospitals
reporting to the state Board of Chair
ties and Corrections for the year 1920
was S2045 and this does not include
any allowance for interest on the
capital invested in the plant or for
depreciation. which would have to be
taken into account in determining the
true costs of any business enterprise.
THE average weekly cost per
capita for nursing service and other
care was S644; for food supplies.
$S.21: for repairs to buildings. $197:
$3.50.
The lowest price reported by any
hospital was by the st. Mary's Gen
eral Hospital at Lewiston, $11.42, and
the highest was at Bar Harbor. or
1916. The average costs for those
having a daily average of more than
so patients We're as follows Central

$20.62; Eastern Maine General Hos
pital. Bangor, $23.o4: Maine General
Hospital. Portland. $24.53; st. Mary's
General Hospital, Lewiston. s11.42.
The high per capita at Bar Har-
Dor is in some measure accounted for
by the fact that the number of
patients cared for is small except in
the summer time. A similar cond-
ton exists with respect to the York
Hospital at York Village. where the
cost per patient per week was s2S15.
