The Once Over
FINANCIAL STATEMENT OF An AVERAGE
AMERICAN.

The year ended December 81. 1880. showed a marked
depreciation in income all along the line from all
sources. Hopes during the early months Of 1880 that
there would be a gradual improvement were not sus-
tanned and returns for the last quarter we're insult
fcient to cover dividends. Payments to the milk
man. grocer. landlord and coal man we're suspended
at the close Of the quarter.
New Income.
There was no income during the year from new
sources, and very little from old.

A serious effort was made to conserve resources and
confine operations to a minimum, but the usual i'm
patience on the part Of creditors hampered this pro-
gram throughout the twelve months Net profit after

surance premiums. and other expenses incidental 20

MISS SPRING MADE
 GOOD STATEMENT
Given Suspended Sentence on Charge of Violation of
 Motor Vehicle Law
NOT SERIOUS DEFENSE

Rose. Spring, 29, who gave her ad- dress as R. F. D., Naugatuck, but whose place of residence is in h. dianapolis, pleaded her own case in police court this morning and ob- tained a suspended sentence. The defendant is a former resident of Waterbury, having been employed here for several years as a demon strator of electrical accessories. She was charged with operating an au- tomobile without a permit.
 State Policeman Leo Mulcahy tes- tified that the defendant was invol- we'd in an accident last April and It developed at the time that she had not obtained a license to operate a car in Connecticut. The machine she was driving at the time bore Connecticut markers which prohi- bited her from operating under an out of state license, which she po- sesses. There would have been no question about her actions had she been using machine registered In the state where she obtained per- init.
 After State Trooper Mulcahy had testified, the court questioned the defendant and she admitted that what the officer said was perfectly true. She offered the explanatio.l that she was under the impression that she was entitled to state cour- tesy privileges. It was then ex- plained that such privileges do not extend to one operating Connecti- cut licensed car. Judge John F. McGrath accepted her statement and suspended sentence.

has probably been of benefit to the New Haven rather than otherwise, the committee is not greatly alarmed over the matter. It feels, however, that the question of the holding of stocks of the New England railrQads by outside roads in general is likely to become a matter of controversy in the future, and that this question of the financial relations between the New Haven and the Pennsylvania should be regarded by New Eng land as an occasion for establish ing a precedent for future policy in such matters"
 The committee consisted of Frank P. Abbot, chairman: George A. Drew, and Edward M. Davis.
 The East Providence Business Mems association report follows:
 "Our committee does not concur in the conclusions of the majority.
 "Our committee dissents from the recommendations of the majority.
 "Our committee concurs in the dissenting statement of MT Richards and MT Jones concerning present Pennsylvania interest in the New Haven and Boston and Maine rail- roads. Our committee believes that the Pennsylvania interest in the New Haven railroad will benefit the people of Rhode Island and New England, as it is 8 well managed railroad with enormous resources. and will tend to improve the service to Rhode Island.
 "Our committee concurs in the Rhode Island minority proposals.
 "Our committee believes that the proposed Southern New England railroad from Palmer. Massachu- setts, S1 Rhode Island should be completed as soon as possible to pro- vide connection to the Grand Trunk Railroad into Canada"

D. 1881, made the following finding concerning said death:
 Shortly after six o'clock, Eastern daylight saving time, on the even- ing of May 3, 1881, Raymond La- Flamme was driving a Hudson tour ing car northerly on Wilson street and approaching the intersection of Chipman street. At this intersec- tion Chipman street enters but does not cross Wilson street, enter ing from the west. As LaFlamme was approaching the intersection, another automobile was standing at the easterly curb of Wilson street opposite Chipman. When the La Flamme car had gotten almost up to this other automobile, Joseph Brac- iulis, aged five years, ran out from the easterly curb in front of the other parked car and directly in the path of LaFlamme's car. Sev- eral men who were congregated about and on this parked started to the child, who was running hard but he pal dno attention to them but continued on in front of La Flamme's car. LaFlamme at the time was travelling at very mod crate rate of speed but the child was less than three feet away from hlm when ne QaShed In front or the car and the left front wheel struck the boy, throwing him to the pave ment. The wheel ran over the child, crushing his chest, and LaFlamme stopped his car immediately after the wheel had cleared the body. The child was placed in LaFlamme's car and driven at once to the Wa terbury hospital where he arrived at about 6:30 p. m. He was dead upon arrival.
 I find that said death was caused by crushing of the chest when de- ceased was run over by the automo- bile operated by Raymond LaFlam- me but that said death was not caused by any criminal act, ommiss- ion ar carelessness on the part of sair Raymond LaFlamme.
 In compliance with the statute I have filed with the Clerk of the Su- perior court for New Haven County at waterbury my report of the in- quest, together with the testimony taken.
