Damages Of $4,000 are claimed
in two civil actions filed to-day at

Mascolo, Mcknight 6 Dauch the
plaintiff says she was walking
along the sidewalk when she
slipped over q bumpy condition of
the pavement, caused by roots of
a tree growing underneath. The
condition was rendered dangerous,
says the complaint, because the

dillon to other bodily injuries.
In the second suit, Julia A.

Announcement BY the state
traffic commission of the setting
ofa flat speed limit OF as miles an
hour on all highways Of the state
will not affect the enforcement Of
motor vehicle regulations within
the city limits by the local police
department, It was stated to-day
BY Police Supt. Joseph H. Mclean:
Reasonable speed, as judged by
prevailing traffic and weather con-
dttlons, will continue to be the
form followed by policemen here,
the superintendent said, .i. l
"There are old city ordinances
setting definite speed limits in
Waterbury," theh superintendent
said, "but to enforce them would
bring about q ridiculous situation,
since one of them, / believe, calls
Tor maximum speed of eight miles
per hour. What the police de-
partment has done instead of NAM
ing . definite speed figure beyond
which no car can go Is to insist
That all cars go only as fast as
+ conditions warrant"
For example," pointed out
supt. Mclean, Eat one time car
can go through Exchange Place or
any other busy intersection at 90
miles an hour and still be oper-
ated safely. Another time, 1t can
60 through the same spot at 10
miles an hour and yet be operated
recklessly. Conditions Of weather,
OF traffic, time and place-all these
make real difference, and all
have to be taken into considera-
ton when judging whether or not
an automobile Is being driven with
due care"
Supt.' McLean's announcement
this morning leaves the local stu
alton unchanged, whereas every
state highway Is under speed limit,
at least temporarily, at As miles
en- hour.
Setting Of the speed limit was
announced at Hartford by the state
traffic commission and went into
effect Immediately. Previously the
state highways had been under a
reasonable care under prevailing
conditions" regulation.

that whereas about 20 persons out

now, william c. yelling. director
Of the bureau of vital statistics of
the state department of health,

departments series Of tercentenary
broadcasts. att-t
Since there was no such thing as

years ago when the state was first
ounded--merely random records
II Is impossible, Mr.. yelling said,
TO compare statisticaliy the public
health conditions which existed
then with those Of the present day,
but 1t is very safe to say that the
change 10 so astonishing and tre-
mendous that II the Connecticut
forefathers could return they would
be amazed. II we look back into
conditions even 100 or moro years
ago, he stated, we may well wonder
why the spark of life connecting
al of us to the very beginning
OF life was not stamped out.
A century ago, smallpox and
cholera swept unimpeded over the
world. Consumption was the lead
ing cause of death. Probably one
child out of every five born died
In It's first year. Now, less than
one out OF 20 die. Diphtheria, chol.
era infantum, scarlet fever took
unresisted toll. Today these dis
eases are under such control that
they have practically disappeared,

would com pletely vanish IL every
child were immunized against It In
the first year OF life. .Procrastina-
ton :. often deaths iieutenant-g gene

instance, being due to delay in

Connecticut can look confidently
ahead to q future In which new
generations will look back upon
present conditions much in the
manner that we Of today view
those of our forefathers, Mr.. Well
ing declared. The ywill look back
at all of the terrifying things which
now confront US, but which they
will lave conquered as a result of

and they will wonder too how they
ever made such gains In public

they think that you're just

No matter how silly the idea

D. c. AIRPORT
Manager Of Washington Field
Claims U. S. Could Clear
$4,000 Per Year

Washington Airport made a net
profit of $4,000 during the past
year and the Federal Government
could take over the site and oper-
ate it at much greater profit.
This statement was made today
by Samuel Solomon, manager Of
the Washington Airport, testifying
before a House District subcom.
mittee which is studying possible
sites for a commercial airport in
the Capital.
Purchase of the Washington
Airpors through condemnation
proceedings at a fair price would
meet with approval of the COM
pany's stockholders, Mr.. Solomon
told the committee.
Mr.. Solomon explained the
management of the Washington
Airport is not in a position to
extend the facilities of the field,
but that the Federal Government
could circumvent these difficult
ties. He told the committe there
is an investment of $1,416,000
in the airport and that the Fed
eral Government should be able
to make a profit Of $4,000 a
year.
Mr.. Solomon objected to a
proposal to establish an airport
at Gravelly Point. He said two
airportS so close together would
prove ruinous to all parties con-
cerned in the projects. The COM
mittee hearing adjourned until
Monday morning.
