 Hine Co AIIT0 ACCInENT CACE
AUTO ACCIDENT CASE

Judgment of $500 and costs was awarded William s. Muiherin of this city against the A. C. Hine Company, Inc, in 6 decision hand cd down in the common pleas court this morning by Judge Ed ward J. Finn The plaintiff asked 1000 for injuries sustained in an auto collision between the de- fendants car, in which the plaln- tiff was a passenger, and q car owned by Arthur LAmpson. at Field and Meadow streets on May II. 1928. Attorney Edward F. Sweeney represented the plaintiff. Bronson, Lewis X Bronson ap- peared for the defendant.
 According to his complaint. Null herin suffered contusions. scalp decorations and brain concus- sion when J. White, agent of the defendant, permitted the defend ant company's car to strike Lamp sons car. It was alleged that White cut sharply across Meadow to enter Field street and into the path of Lampson's machine.
 Judge Finn finds the collision resulted from the concurring neg ligence of both drivers. He states that Lampson was driving at an excessive rate of speed and that White cut the corner sharply and directly into the path of Lamp son. Whites negligence is one of the proximate causes of the col lision, the decision states and the actions of Lampson are in no manner chargeable to the plaintiff nor can they shield the defendant company.

Shorter Time for
 Underemployed
5000 Deficit in Receipts
 Prompts Action

Income from pledges to the Wa terbury Unemployment Relief fund fell of over $3,000 during the past week, thereby creating a serious situation, 1t was disclosed to-day in a report made public by Treasurer Lewis S. Reed. Sensing the need of immediate retrsnch- ment in order to prevent the entire wiping out of the funds balance, 1t was decided by Relief Chairman William M. Harris to-day that a lay-OM of two days for the gangs system is necessary.
 Therefore, this week a iay-on on Thursday will take place. And next week a lay-of for TueSday has been ordered. By. bringing about this lay-oK, 1t is figured, ths relief fund will he given an ep- pertunity to make up for the 5000 loss experienced duSing the past week,
 There Is no definite solution at hand for the 43,008 falling of. it was explained this morning, but 1t Is figured that the drop was caused by employees being on va cations or by salary reductions.
 Disbursements during the past week amounted to 312,bS8.02. Re- ceipts from subscriptions and do- nations amounted to only $9.- 209.s7, making a deficit for the week of over 33.000. In order to make up this amount, therefore, Chairman Harris has decided that the two-day lay-off is needed in or- der to equalize the relief funds expenses and preserve the balance on hand.
 An idea of how the relief fund Is dropping is noted. also. in the treasurer's report, by a perusAI of the amount collected since t he start of the pledge system and the figure showing the balance now on hand. To date 3448,sS1.S6 has been taken in while the balance now on hand Is only $20.277.26. This balance iS the lowest record cd since the start of the unem ploy- ment relief system.
 Chairman Harris and Treasurer Reed to-day joined in urging everybody in Waterbury aid the relief committee by getting in sub scription money and donations 50 that further dencits will not be shown.

They reacted with steel and around 2 b. m. were holding gains of fractions to points. Utilities, rails, oils and cOppers behaved the same as the industrials.
 President HOover's proposal suggested banks maintain their present credit to Germany and later that a committee be appoint ed 10 work out a long term loan for the reich. Wall street had an- ticipated something more concrete with America participating in new credits.
