GROUP DISCUSSES
 ANNEXATION SCOPE
New Veterans Hospital Not h.
 cluded in Project

Numerous details of the proposed annexation of the Maple Hill and Elm Hill districts of the town of Newington were discussed at a con- ference yesterday afternoon at the mayors office, attended by Mayor Quigley, City Engineer r. 4. Mer ian. E. WelIes Eddy, Selectman James Gilbert of Newington. Elmer W. Pape, William Middlemass. Na- than C. Avery, and Engineer A. ". Bacon.
 Mir. Eddy, who lives in Newington near. the new government hospital. told the gathering he did not want his property annexed to New Brit ain and it was agreed that the pro- posed new boundary lines would not include that section Of Maple Hill. The hospital will not be included, either.
 It was brought out. among other things, that the Hartford probate district includes Newington. and if Maple Hill and Elm Hill are annex cd it will be necessary to divide the district. and it will also be neces- sary to rearrange the representation in the legislature. as Newington is not in the sixth senatorial district.
 High School Pupils Affected
 The matter Of providing high school accommodations for New ngton pupils was also talked over and 1t was agreed that those who live in Elm Hill and Maple Hill must attend New Britain high school

 The two. said kiely, went to the door of the lodge and Rittncr showed him out in such q manner as to cause him to dive head foremost down the steps of the vcranda. It is strange that Rittncr should have been g victim of the flames when he was so active in rescue work. kiely said

 skritulsky's Recollection Vague
 SkrituIsky, a prominent Lithuan- ian resident, was back at his home today apparently none the worse for his narrowing experience in the hunting lodge fire. He was dis charged from the Winsted hospital yesterday afternoon where he was given treatment for slight body in Juries and exposure. Upon arrival home, he assured his family that he was all right but immediately went to bed 10 counteract any further danger from exposure. He was still in bed today and plans 10 rest at his home for a few days
 Skrtulsky was reluctant 10 discuss the fire and remembers little of what happened after escaping from the lodge. He was in a room on the second floor with Mazieka Both men had retired for the evening in of a few busy days at when they were suddenly aroused by shouts Of fire by Otto W. Rittner, one Of the unfortunate victims of the blaze. The two men dashed out of their room and made their escape down the stairway be- ing met with volumes of smoke and fire.
 After reaching tho outside, Skri- tulsky sank in Scmi-Conscious con- dtion to the ground from the effects Of the smoke. He was discovered shortly afterwards by one of the rcscuers and covered with a blanket until aid arrived and he was taken 10 the hospital, It is believed that Skritulsky was the last man to use the stairway as a means of escape before it became inferno of flames.

 Fred Preston, owner of the camp, says that he was sleeping with his brother when he was awakened by exploding shells. He tried 10 arouse hls brother and found the latter un- conscious.

There are about 60 high school students in NeWington, some of whom attend the local school and others one Of the high schools in Hartford.
 One of the principal reasons the residents of Elm Hill and Maple Hill desire to have annexation ef- fected is the need for sewers. Mayor Quigley pointed out today, in q dis cussion of the topic that sewers are paid for out of assessments against the real estate holdings of those who are benefited. and because of the proximity of Elm Hill and Ma pie Hill 10 the New Britain seyv"r system it would be tar cheaper 10 extend the local system than the Hartford system.
