COORDINATION BY
 CITY DEPARTMENTS
Mayor Has Plan for Clearing House of Information

Mayor A. M. Paonessa has plan for closer coordination of the sev- eral city departments having to do with public safety, health and welfare and he will shortly inaugurate his plan, he said this morning.
 It is the mayors proposal to have bi-weekly meetings of representatives of the health, water, police, fire and building departments for general discussion of conditions thy find about the city.
 The mayor explained this morning that the collectors of the water de- pertinent in their semi monthly read ing of meters in cellars might find conditions that should be reported 10 the health department At the pro- posed meetings the water department could bring out this fact and the health boards representative would make memorandum and as soon as possible order changes. Likewise, the health department might find conditions that the water department would be interested to know of.
 The fire department may locate conditions that should be reported to the police, and the police occasionally find conditien, such as a fire hazard of rubbish that the fire prevention bureau would wish to remedy.
 The representatives of the building department are often in a position to discover conditions that would be of interest to any one or all other de- partments that would be included on the conference committee.
 Up to the present time there has been no organized method of report ing, by one department, conditions that might interest another branch of the city government.
 Mayor Paonessa believes the plan to be good one and those to whom he has explained the idea concur in the belief that better coordination of city departments can be effected in this way than in any other method heretofore tried

VISITING NURSES
 YEAR OF ACTIVITY
Reports at Annual Meeting Re- fleet Associations Importance

Mrs. Harry Bates was reelected president of the Visiting Nurse asso. citation at the annual meeting held yesterday afternoon at the Center church chapel.

Bacon and Mrs. Rufus Hemingway were elected to serve on the board of directors for three years
 Annie Warburton Goodrich, dean of the Yale School of Nursing. was present ct the meeting and delivered an interesting talk on the progress of the work and it's recognition by all classes.
 He said that there are about 100,- 900 nurses in the country and they will be found on every state, county and municipal program of health, as well as in the army and navy. She said that all hospitals want schools of nursing and that the doors of all communities are open to the nurses at certain times.
 Wonderful things are being done in all branches of science, she said. Much can be done to make better human beings from a standpoint both physical and moral. A definite result is being secured by the help of or ganizations such as the Visiting Nurse association.
 One of the happiest outlooks is the change in hospitals during the past 50 years, the improved methods of treating disease and the results which are being obtained. Many or these changes can be traced to the student nurse.
 She went on to show the conditions in New York city and its hospitals and the methods which can be used to improve certain conditions exist in these hospitals, reducing the number of patients in the hospitals for the mentally unsound. and other steps.
 She showed how the nurse nas come to be a power in communities ture, now that universities have opened their doors to form schools.
