Need $7,25O To Defray Work Until
 Next September
Public Urged to Contribute and Make Possible Continue tion of Humanitarian Work-Mail Checks to B Field Street in Care of the League

The following is a copy of a com munication sent out by the Water bury Anti-Tuberculosis league:
 The bank balance today of the the Waterbury Anti-Tuberculosis league is $1,416.56, an amount barely sufficient to meet the bills outstanding.
 We need $1.450.0O a month for March, April, May, June and July or a total of $7,25O.OO to finance the work of this organization until the annual appeal for funds in September.
 At meeting of the board of directors of the league, held Feb- ruary 27th, it was decided to bring these facts to the attention of the people of Waterbury by letter anI through the press. On this special appeal hangs the fate of such inn portant work as the public tuber- culosis clinic; the care of patients at the Isolation hospital awaiting entrance to the State Senatorial; the financing of patients in Sanatoria who are, unable to meet their full expenses; and aid to tuberculosis patients and their families through milk, clothing and other means of relief.
 We plan to acknowledge all con- tributions through the press, and shall do so in your case. unless you instruct us to the contrary.
 All checks should be mailed to

MAYOR HAYES | RECEIVES DEED
Henry Weyand Donates Land at Corner of Judd
 and Freight Street
TO WIDEN ROADWAY

Mayor Frank Hayes this morning received deed from Henry Weyand whereby he donated to the city the plot of land at the corner of Judd and Freight streets to be utilized in widening this corning thereby in- creasing the visibility and add to the beauty of the corner.
 The mayor was authorized by the board of aldermen at a recent meet ing to accept the deed and it will now go before the board at it's next session for adoption.
 The section of land, which is quite valuable, will add a large "pie cut" plot to the street.
 As it is at the present time, it is difficult to determine whether any vehicle is approaching the street unless one drives his car right out on to Freight street.
 This will make it possible to see almost to the corner of Freight and Meadow streets.

FOREIGN TRADE
 IN NEW ENGLAND
Result of Survey Made By Dept of Commerce and
 Other Agencies
BUSINESS WITH CANADA

r Boston Mar 9-New England ships
 approximately 65 per cent of its ex-
 ports through the port of New York,
 and less than IA per cent from Bos-
 ton, the recently published Foreign
 Trade Survey of New England''
 shows. The survey has been made I by the United States department of 1 commerce with the cooperation of the New England council, the Boston | chamber of commerce, and other or l ganizations.
 Railway shipments from New l England to Canada are nearly equal | to exports from Boston, amount ing to 13.3 per cent of the total. | Shipments from other New England
 ports amount to only S9 hundredths of one per cent, while shipments from ports outside New England ex- elusive of New York comprise 2.1S per cent. The remaining per cent
 of New England's exports are ship
 ped by parcel post, or are unac-
 counted for by the survey.
 The Massachusetts manufacturers make the greatest use of the port of Boston, shipping 22 per cent of their exported goods from here. More than half of Massachusetts exports, how ever, go by way of New York. Con- necticut and Rhode Island each senr less than one per cent of their products from Boston, compared to 78 and 67 per cent respectively from New York. While a greater propor- tion of Connecticut's exports are shipped via New York than is the case with those of Massachusetts, ;,, Ina of
 Massachusetts ships 52.7 per cent of the total New England shipments via New York or half again as much as Connecticut with 37.2 per cent.
 The three northern New England states ship a somewhat larger per- centage of goods by way of Boston, but they also use this port much less that the port of New York. Maine ships 10.5 per cent of it's ex- ports from Boston, 59.5 per cent from New York, and only 1-2 per cent from it's own port of Portland. More than three-fourths of New Hampshire's foreign-bound goods leave by way of New York; only seven per cent by way of Boston. Vermont sends 12 per cent of it's goods from Boston, and six times as many from New York.
 Rail shipments to Canada are most important to Maine, comprising 26 per cent, of that states total ex- ports. Rhode Island also sends 20 per cent by this route, and Connec- ticut 16 per cent.
 Reasons given by 1406 manufac- turers of their selection of ports are included in the report. Customers in- structions are a determining factor in large number of cases, and these are based upon reasons not revealed. When the exporter selects his own port of shipment the principal fac tors influencing his choice are freight service, steamship schedules, and forwarding facilities. Steamship rates banking facilities and terminal charges are given much less consid- eration, the report stated.

Martin, Mrs A. M. Parsons, Mrs Edward J. Finn, Miss Anna J. and Miss Wilhelmina Engert of Waterbury and Mrs H. E. Miner of Springfield, Mass.
