I over the same period in 1882 shows
that the gain for this city alone, as
one unit Of the Waterbury district.
00.0 per cent. Watertown led the
way in this district with an increase
Of l4l.2 per cent. Percentage of In
crease for Thomaston was TAT per
cent. X
Twelve thousand more examina-
tons for drivers license were given
In Conneicut during the eleven
months ending November 30th than
during the same period q year ago:
st, 900 as compared with $4,000, or
an increase of 27%.
II we compare the figures with
those for 1882. when the depression
was at its lowest, we find an In
crease Of $4,000, or 77% bringing the
total so far this year to the highest
ever reached except in 1926 and
1929. The following table shows that
the increase was more marked dur
ing the year just passed than dur
ing the three preceding years:
1882, 31,102 examinations, 1907;
1888, 34,470 examinations, 1lO.8%:
1894, 40,484 examinations, 1927;
1885, 1896 examinations, 1922:
1885, 55,006 examinations. 1862.
Over five year period the per-
centage change in different parts
Of the state varied according to the
employment situation. Most districts
show more or less the same increase,
but New Haven, New London, SIAM
ford and Torrington had only small
growth each year until 1896, when
there was big Jump. New London
and Torrington districts have
neither Of them approached the
Ter cent increase OF the state as
whole, perhaps because they did not
have such low point from which
to recover.
The Willimantic district (consist-
ing of Willimantic, Danielson, jew
EFT City and Putnam) has had
practically no change since 1888.
which was 37% higher than in 1882.
In fac there were fewer examina-
tions in this district during 1886
than for any year since recovery
began. This Of course is accounted
for by the situation in the textile
mills Of the region.

The Boston American in a copy
righted article said Roosevelt nigh
seek the seat now held by former
Mayor Richard M. Russell of Cam

Roosevelt said he had not seen the
published report and added: Il have
no comment to make on anything
political whatsoever. My activities ir
Boston are purely business"
Roosevelt said he had supported
Representative Russell in his 1894
campaign and stated he and Russell
were close friends"
When asked if he would support
Russell in the coming campaign,
Roosevelt repeated his statement that
his interests in Boston were not
political.
Although he spends much of his
time in New York, Roosevelt retains

Bussey says he has pulled the en-

pervisor from Riverside.

high tension wires. They also
watched the administering of arti-
ficial respiration, the application
of bandages to the burned hands
and the use of a touriquet to stop

having the lowest number auto
mobile and truck accidents per
100000 miles travelled.
