Defendant Upheld
 In $1O,OOO Action

 nOr's Claim in Damage Suit Against I. Delaney

by Judge Cornell.
 O'Connor sued to recover for permanent injuries he suffered July 9th when struck by the de- fendant's car on Baldwin street, near Bridge street. Judge Cor nell staets that no evidence was offered to support the plaintiffs claim that the defendant, when approaching the plaintiff before striking him, was operating his machine at reckless, high, dan- gerous and unlawful rate of speed"
 Judge Cornell adds further that 1t cannot be found that the de. fendant failed to exercise reason. able care in the control of his car. The decision states that the plain tiff took no precautions beyond looking north and south before commencing to walk across the travelled portion of the road.
 The court finds that the plain tiff was negligent and that he did not sustain the burden of proof of establishing the defendants negligence. |.

the community of Waterbury: It's beginning, which was marked by so much effort on the part of sisters, doctors and nurses Is an inspiration to those who are continuing the work. We wish to pay tribute to the memory of those who were 50 cIosely associated with the work of the hospital, and who have been called to their eternal home May their nearness to the Great Physician obtain help for those of us who are trying to "carty on" during this particular period.
 In looking over the records of years passed, 1t may be of interest to note that III, ,997 patients have been cared for since the opening of the hospital, March End, 1909; 12,- 426 babies have seen the first light of day within it's walls, Gl interns have been given their hospital training and 362 nurses are able to look upon St. Mary's as their alma mater.
 The year we have just completed registered 7,454 patients, Gan in- crease of 279 over last year) and the largest number cared for in any one year. This increase in the number of patients, not in any way means an increase in revenue. Only 38 per cent of our patients paid the per diem rate of $3.22; 43 per cent paid for part of their hospital care, and 19 per cent representing 1,431 patients for eros days, left the hospital without paying any of their account. The monetary value of these figures Is $12,147.70, or part of our cash deficit for the

 Charles KehagiS

The compensation award in fav- or of Charles Kehagias of this city against the St Regis restaurant was ordered remanded back to the com missioner for corrections and amendments under decision handed down by Judge John A..

 A study of the report in your possession shows g. falling off of the number of private room and an increase in the numb of ward patients. This loss of revenue with the general increase in the price of all supplies, has made 1t very difficult to meet the demands made upon us.
 The out patient department shows a decrease in the number of pa- tlents. It is encouraging to note that some people have been able to return to their family physician for professional services.
 A few of the outstanding re- pairs or alterations during the year were: First, new Barnstead triple distilled water outfit for the operating room; second, the re- brick!ng of the three boilers and change of the heating system from coal to oil; third, the installation of new nurses call system for the third and fourth floors in the first building; fourth, the exchange Ol LiI liibL AVL b AIS" and better one.

SEWER JOB IS | 75% FINISHED
Bad Weather Holds Up Construction = Rar1-
 blers Seek Contests
WATERVILLE ;'i

With the sanitary sewer on lower Thomaston avenue nearly completed the Waterville sewer job Is well over seventy-five per- cent installed with only the short distance remaining between sprague street and the Fort Hill terminus of the sewer. The pro- ject has been pushed satisfactorily by Cenedilla and Company in spite of the unusually severe weather of the winter.
 The work on the highway project will probably not get un- derway until there are definitely better prospects of better weather since road construction under present condition is most inadvis- ible. The delay practically makes 1t impossible for residents or Thomaston avenue to expect much relief from present inconvenience until very late this year.
