CURTIS EXPLAINS
 PAYMENT OF BILL
Harris Had Rctaincd Lawyer. Not of His Own Nolitiou But at the
 Request Of Health Board.

Discussing the payment of s9s to Dr. J. R. Harris to reimburse him for money spent for legal advice. and which Alderman A. Nj. Paonessa so strenuously objected to at last nights common council meeting. Mayor O. F. Curtis offered the following explana- ton today: When pr. Lyon filed Mrs Goodrich's death certificate charging pr. Harris with having been negligent to the extent of having caused the death the city was advised that, should such a record be made permanent, the doctor would be open to suit. If the doctor was proven re- sponsiblc the city would be liable to heavy damages, he being the agent of the city. At the request of the health board. pr. Harris went to Lawyer Pierce and retained him. paying al fee of Sl00 which he was assured would be returned to him: Lawyer Pierce had sufficient evidence to pro- tect the city. through pr. Harris, against any suit and pr. Lyon was prevailed upon to change his record. Lawyer Pierce being in possession of all the facts in the case, he was called upon when MT. Goodrich requested that a hearing be opened. His re- tainer in that case was to be $1oo but he cut it to $50 when he found the hearing to be of little conse- quence.
 1t was necessary. the mayor ex- plaincd, that pr. Harris be protected If the city was to be safeguarded since he acted as agent of the city.

S5,94O PLEDGED HERE
Mount Holyoke AIumnae in This City
 Raise Individual Quotas of S305 in
 Short Order.

Announcement was made on Com mencement Day at Mount Holyoke college that New Britain was one of the so cities in the country which. has gone over the top in it's drive for the Mount Holyoke Endowment cam paign. There are eight alumnae of Mount Holyoke in this city. each of whom was asked to raise an .individ- ual quota of s305. making the com munity quota s5.49O. E. Gertrude Rogers, of the class of 1898, was chairman of the local committee. The money pledged is to be raised over a period of five years.
 President Mary F.. Wolley an- nounced that the S2.000. 900 quota has been exceeded by s45s.oo0. Othet Connecticut cities whose quotas were exceeded are: Thompsonville, Nau- gatuck. Norwich. Bridgeport. Middle town and westport.

S15 RAISED FOR THE = KID RAMP FUND
Today's Quota Is S1O More Than Ycs-
 tcrday-TotaI of S9S to Date.

The sum of $i5 was received today for the fund to be used in sending boarders to the Fresh Air Farm in Burlington. Two contributions made up this amount, one from a sweet little old lady who brought in the cash and stated that she preferred not to have her name known and an other from Marshall Cook of the Boys club. This brings our total to $sS.
 There could be no charity into which one might put his money with a greater realization of future bene- fit than that of the Fresh Air camp. Life in the sunshine and open air of the country means much to many children who have not the physical equipment that they might have means sometimes Niab difference be- tween life and deathlaSn the winter to come. Every five dollars contributed to the fund makes a sweek in camp for one youngstcr. tangible. In- tangibly no one can estimate what it brings. no one can say as to what ill., health has been saved, what resistance built up by the much-needed vacation. It is certain that a different bunch of youngsters in physical appearance re- turn from the camp than those that go. That difference alone is worth the board money.
 The Herald is turning over what it receives, through the mail or otherwise, to the proper authorities in charge of the camp. The Fresh Air Editor" is glad to handle what may be sent in. If you have con- tribution to make it would be ap- preciated early as plans may be made for taking care of more chill .dren. ..-.-.:. '' ... -:
