TUBERCULOSIS GAINING
Heavy Inroads Made on Gcrmany's
Population by Disease - Additional
Financial Aid is Sought.

Berlin, Feb. 16.-Tuberculosis has
made such heavy inroads on Ger
many's population recently that cries
for additional financial aid are going
up repeatedly from the official and
unofficial relief agencies.
A short time ago more funds were
demanded for the state insurance de-
partment which ministers to the tu-
bercular It's aid extends this winter
to $4,000 families. One of the de-
partments regulations requires that,
before family can claim its benefits
at least one member must hold n
state insurance policy.
Now plea for further public sub
scriptions has been raised by a relief
agency which confines it's activities to
members of the middle classes and
operates largely through public funds
to aid persons not covered by insur-
ance.
Among the agency's beneficiaries at
present are: 1854 federal state and
municipalo fficials: 119 professors
ministers, attorneys doctors and stu
dents: 1853 teachers; IS journalists
and actors; 1873 widows and orphans;
5s2 independent hand workers and
tradesmen; 1864 employed statesmen
and clerks, and 7S9 merchants.

RULES AGAINST CITY
 ON NEW SPUR TRACK
Judge Webb Upholds De- cision of Public Utilities
 Commission

1 Judge Web. in superior court has
 handed down decision against the
 appeal of the city of New Britain | from the ruling of the public utili- ties commission by which the con-
 mission granted the Connecticut com
 pany the right to lay new spur l track on Chestnut street. The ap- peal was heard recently, Corporation l Counsel J. H. Kirkham and Attorney Donald Gaffney representing the city. The memorandum of the court fol- | lows:
 "The claim of the respondents, | made at the outset of the hearing of
 this appeal, that the only question be-
 fore the court was, whether the
 Public Utilities commission had acted
 illegally or exceeded or abused it's powers in passing the order appealed from. has not been pressed, and the
 court has heard all of the evidence
 offered by the parties, as to the pro-
 priety and expediency of said order.
 With the acquiescence of the parties, this appeal has resulted in a trial de novo.
 Upon the merits of the contro- versy, am impelled from the evidence to reach the same conclusion as that indicated by the order of the com missioners. l find that the commits sioners were entirely within their powers in permitting the laying of the additional switch track, and that their order authorizing and permitting it was in all respects expedient and proper. The commission in no man. ner acted illegally or exceeded or abused its powers. 1 do not accept the claim of the appellant, that the laying of the proposed switch track, imposes an additional servitude upon the appellants land, or that it will substantially increase the existing limitation upon the vehicular use of the highway caused by the tracks al- ready in use. These, it will be pre- sumed are there by lawful authority.
 T do not find that the laying of this switch track will result in the taking of the appellants property without compensation, or in any man. | ner infringe upon it's constitutional | rights. I am unable to find that this | additional track will increase the | danger to those going to and from the school on the opposite side of the street. It will probably enable an operation of the appellants cars in such way as to relieve the existing conditions to the advantage of the public and all concerned.
 "Thc appeal is dismissed. and the order of the Public Utilities commis- sion is affirmed"
