 Victim At Hospital
Mrs Josephine Wiley Resting Comfortably Which Ran Her Down Registered in Name of New Haven Man

Mrs Josephine Wiley. 7S. widow of George Wiley, is a patient at the Waterbury hospital as the result of an accident on West Main street last evening. She suffered a number of lacerations about the head and body and considerably from shock. Her condition last evening was q matter of concern, but to-day it was stated that she was resting more comfort ably and that x-rays had failed to show any fractures.
 The automobile, which figured in the accident and which is registered in the name of John Byron of 71 Sylvan avenue, New Haven, is now in the possession of the local po- lice. It was abandoned by the driver in front of the Waterbury hospital after he had carried the woman to the institution. Whether it was Bly, ron the local police have yet to de- termine, but the operator of the car evidently became frightened and dis appeared through a rear door of the hospital. The New Haven police were asked to assist in checking up on Byron, who is apparently well known in that city. An explanation of his actions, if he were the driver was expected by the local author ities to-day.
 The accident occurred near St Johns church. Mrs Wiley was struck as she was crossing the street. John Dunphy, salesman, who gave his name as 1532 Amsterdam avenue, New York City. witnessed the mishap and rushed to the assist

to give their whole hearted support to the transaction.
 The bringing together of these two strong banks under the name and charter of the Merchants Trust company, is one ot the most import ant developments in the financial history of Waterbury. It fortifies to an even greater position of pres tige the Merchants Trust company which is one of the strongest banks in western Connecticut.
 The Merchants Trust and Peoples Bank and Trust directors have en- tered into an agreement whereby one share of the Merchants stock is to be given for every four shares of the Peoples bank stock. This stock exchange will be handled by increas- ing the capital stock of the Mer- chants Trust company from $500.- 900 to $55O,O00.
 profits and reserves of the Mer- chants Trust company, will be in- creased approximately $1,5O0,00O when final details have been com pleted.
 Business, banking and financial quarters have heard in the past few years rumors of the joining of these banks and it is well-known fact that two years ago, directors of both were very close to terms.
 The Peoples Bank and Trust Co. has very large Italian clientele and when both banks become one, it means that the 6.0OO patrons of the Peoples bank will give to the Mer- chants Trust company. the amazing total of between 15,0OO and 10000 accounts.
 Directors of both institutions in notices to their stockholders say the consolidation Is for the interests of the stockholders of their banks and that business of both can be affected with very little additional expense.
 Coming with to-day's announce- ment is the news from directors o1 the Merchants Trust company that the architect has completed plans for it's magnificent new bank and office building in bankers row on Leavenworth street.
 It will be most worthy addition in architectural beauty to the other splendid business buildings on Leav. enworth street.

Looks Bright
 for Golf Course
General Opinion That Wa terbury Will Get Bond
 Petition

favorable report was made by the finance committee to the senate at Hartford on the proposal from Meriden to permit sale of bonds up to $75,000 for the purpose of fi- nancing playground improvements that will furnish work to some of the unemployed. This makes pos- sible favorable report on Water- burys bill for a $50,0O0 bond issue to finance the purchase and con- struction of municipal golf course.
 When the Meriden proposal was referred to the finance committee for investigation and report, it was thought that if an unfavorable re- port was received on the Silver City plea, the same might result in Wa terbury's recommendation.
 With Meriden given authority to issue the bonds. this places Water- bury in a comparatively safe posi- tion and undoubtedly the bond issue will be forthcoming and the munich pal golf course, which is said to be needed so badly in the city, will be constructed.
