HART CRITIC|zES
SEIZURE OF AUTOS
SheriiIS Should Notify Police
Dept, Chief Declares

The practice Of representatives
and constables and deputy sheriffs,
OF taking automobiles off the streets
without notifying us should be dis
continued, as it causes us needless
bother and expense" Chief w. C.
Hart of the police department said
today. Owners of cars notify us
of supposed thefts and we telephone
all about the state and ask coopera-
ton of departments in other cities,
only to find later on that the cars
were not stolen but taken on writs
of attachment or for failure to pay
installments. Those having the right
to take cars in this way should noti
fy us SO that we may be spared the
trouble and expense f trying to To-
cate cars that are not stolen at all"
The occasion OF the chiefs state
met was a miXup caused by the
report last night by Deputy Sheriff
NJ. H. Horwitz, temporary receiver
of the Auburn Transportation Co..
that taxicab owned by the conf
fdiiS AAd bcSii ''NVh iioiit NV Dui
rift garage. Later, George A. Quig-
ley, a stockholder in the company.
asked that a New Haven man. rep
resenting finance company, be ar
rested for taking the car. The New
Haven police were notified that a
warrant wcs held ere.
This morning it developed that
the car had been returned. Mean
while the New Haven police were
looking for the man and several tele-
phone calls were made on the case.
1t was expected that the warrant
would be destroyed in view Of the
return of the car, but decision to this
effect had not been communicated to
the police this afternoon.

According to admissions which the

was committed in Berlin, they will
be put on trial there. They were
held at the local police station to-
day without bonds. Chief Hart say
ing they will not be allowed their
freedom until they are delivered
over to the Berlin authorities.

carry passengers whom they do not

feel they should be allowed to pro

Chief Hart talked the situation
over with them but withheld decision
pending word from the employers of
the chauffeurs as to whether or not
they consider It necessary for the
men to be armed. Later, the chief
said he appreciates the position of

for one or more men to attack

He is helpless when attacked. but If
it was known that he is armed, high
waymen would probably hesitate to
attack him.
Drivers of buses are armed be-
cause of the money they carry on

cars also have permits to carry fire
arms. having tisfed the chief that
their safety demands this protection.
Everyone who makes application Is
not favored. however as Chief Hart

To My Worcester County Friends:

To My Worcester County Friends:
In August, 1922 ! came to Worces-
ter county to begin the work Of public
health nursing, under the supervision
Of the Worcester - unity Chapter,
American Red Cross, and after three
years and four months Of very pleas
ant work I find It necessary to resign,
much to my regret.
The work of public health nursing
was new in this county at that time.
l: was planned and financed by q
small group of people who had Wis
ion several years in advance of the
majority Of people, and it surely is
satisfactory to the committee to know
that the demonstration they put on a
little more than three years ago has
been a success.
All thinking, progressive people the
county over are helping forward the
public health movement and the peo-
pie Of Worcester county are doing
their share.
My work in the county has been
most pleasant and whatever the meas
ure Of success with which I have met
it is due to the hearty cooperation of
those with whom I have worked.
have at all times had the hearty sup
port and encouragement of the execu-
tive committee Of the Chapter.
On many occasions I have had
splendid volunteer service from a
number Of people who are heartily in
sympathy with the Public Health
work.
To all those who have in any way
assisted or co-operated with me
take this opportunity to extend my
sincere gratitude and good wishes for
a happy and prosperous New Year.
Yours for Public Health Education,
