.22 STITCHES IN HEAD
 AFTER BOTTLE ATTACK
Wife Brutally Beaten by Husband and Taken to
 Hospital

Stanley Ozorek, aged 35, Of 191 Broad street, who has been in police court numerous times for assaulting his wife, is alleged to have attack ed her last evening with bottle, in- tiicting several cuts in her head, which necessitated 22 stitches at New Britain General hospital. She was resting fairly comfortably today. although in considerable pain as a result of the alleged beating, and it is expected that she will be able to appear in police court next Wedncs- day morning, when her husband will be tried on the charge of breach of the peace and assault. He was ar raigned before Judge Roche this morning and ordered to post 0 s200 bond for his appearance next Wed nesday. Officers John hebler and Thomas Lee made the arrest.
 The police have had trouble with Ozorell for several years, on account of his wire beating activities. The assault with which he is now charg- ed. however, is the most serious ever laid to him. According 10 the po- lice, strong drink has been respon- sible for his actions on some occas- ions, but he was not intoxicated last night.
 The police last night located the daughter of the couple. who escap- ed from Long Lane farm, Middle town a short time ago. She was at home when the fight between her parents took place. She will be sent back to the farm.

CITY MAY TIGHTEN LID
 ON BAD ELECTRICAL WORK
Building Commission Considers h. censing Journcymcn as Well as
 Masters to Improve Protection

Licensing Of journeyman electri- clans will be considered by the building commission at its next meeting complaint having been made that the system of issuing certificates 10 masters only does not give sufficient protection against in ferior work and dangerous installa- tions.
 Under the present system none but licensed master electricians are given permits to do work. but hay ing secured the permit they can have the entire job done by an un- licensed workman. When ordinances were passed requiring contractors to be licensed more than half the firms in the city went out of exist ance by reason of failure to pass the examination, and 1t is expected that the new plan will further deplete the ranks of mechanics permitted to do work without supervision.
 In the plumbing craft not only masters but also tourneymen are re- Quired to be licensed.
