WALLS INSECURE ON
 TWO APARTMENTS
Houses on West Main Street Are
 Under Scrutiny

Building department authorities were reported this afternoon to be looking askance at the walls of two West Main street apartment build ings near the one from which a threatened collapse last year drove six families in speedy exit.
 Comment on the report was de- clined this afternoon by Building Inspector A. N. Rutherford, who de- clared he will make no statement whatsoever.
 The buildings said to be under suspicion were erected by Gozzo & La Rocco and later were sold to Baggish & Alderman of Hartford. Transfers made during the past year are said to have carried guarantees, and the new owners are the com plainants, it is understood. Inspec- tor Rutherford told the building de- partment Monday night he antici- pates being called into court as a witness in a civil case involving the condemnation of buildings sold un- der a guarantee last year. Inspector Rutherford was asked at that time for further information, but he flat ly refused, declaring 1t is not a mat ter of public business in its present status.

BUDGET 0F S7,500 FOR ADJUSTMENTS
Commission Asks S1,0O0 More
 Than Last Year

A budget of $7,500, which is
 s1.oOO more than was allowed last year will be sought by the public amusements commission at next months meeting of the board of finance and taxation.
 No item for a yeararound super visor of playgrounds appears this year. the commission having taken it's cue from the action of the board of finance in rejecting this item last year in spite of an urgent plea by Chairman Harry c. Jackson and Commissioner Bernard G. Kran- owitz who stressed the importance of this feature in public amusements work.
 With the additional s1,0oo it Is hoped to organize a junior boys baseball league this season. The present city league is for older boys. Sufficient funds will be available under this budget to establish a playground in the southwestern sec ton of the city, probably at the Vance school site, and to purchase merry-go-rounds for several play grounds, the commission feels.
 The board of public works last evening considered the budget which will be submitted to the common council before the first of next month. Several minor items were listed and two large appropriations were called for. the first to be ESQ., 500 for the grading of parts of New ington avenue, Hunter road, Steel, Rhodes, Myrtle. Stanley. Linwood, Carmody, Boulevard. Rentschler. and Buell. streets and the other for s95,100O which will be requested for the macadamizing of Smith, Win throp, Grown, Smith, Lilac, Rent schler, Cleveland, Monroe, Lyman and Chapman streets.
 The board adjourned with several important appropriations left un- finished. Chairman Reginald Tow CTS and City Engineer Joseph Will Hams today worked on the budget and it is thought that it will be ready for release tomorrow. To- morrow evenings meeting of the board will accept the budget and it will be submitted to the common council within the near future.

DAY NURSERY HAS
 HAD BUSY SEASON
Total of 5,236 Children Cared for, Supt. Irene Feeney Reports

A total of 5,o36 children have day nursery during the year of 1926. according to a report just made public by Superintendent Irene Feeney.
 The report states that there were S2 families served, 94 children were given medical or dental treatment and 92 were given shoes or clothing.
 The report continues:
 A special word of appreciation must be given to Dr. R. w. Pullen. health superintendent, pr. Sidney N. Rothfeder. dental clinic, Dr. George Dunn and members Of the New Britain Social Workers club. The attendance has not been as large this year due to the dullness of shops and factories where the mothers are employed. In addition to the daily routine, carefully planned and carried out-at the close of the day the mothers of the little tots are given the opportunity to talk over their problems and re- ceive help from us In the solution of them. Sometimes these talks are supplemented by home visits. The nursery aims to develop the child:
 Physically. through well bal anced meal.
 Morally. in the developing of clean personal habits.
 Socially, in learning to respect the rights of others and to work in groups harmoniously.
 Spiritually, in the recognition through daily prayer that all good gifts come from God.
 In other words. the nursery is more than a place to stay while mother or daddy works. We want it to be cozy home, where the parent may be sure to help and sympathetic understanding at all times and where the children through happy hours and play may learn the fundamental principles necessary to become in the future useful and successful citizens.
 :. In concluding this short sum- mary of our years work, owing to the lack of space all donations can- not be listed. However, the board wishes to think all who have so gen. erously helped us by their many donations, which greatly encour- aged and inspired those directly en- gagged in carrying on the work.
