If the Bull Line, thru its young and
energetic representatives could bring about
the realisation of this project, this COM

for, because whatever be the prospects of
business for the Company, it can hardly
reap all the benefits without the commu

Docking facilities of this kind must
perforce improve the commercial impor-
lance of any port of call.
In these days when the Tourist trade
forms profitable by product of steamship
transportation, it is undoubtedly precari

Of the membranes covering the
brain and spinal cord, DR.. Morgan
explained. Epidemic meningitis is
caused by a germ known as mem
ingococcus. tuberculosis, pneumo-
MIA and streptococcus germs also
may cause an inflammation of these
membranes, he said.
The technical name for the men,
branes is meninges, so an infam-
nation, no matter what the cause,
is called meningitis, DR.. Morgan ex-
planned. Meningococcic meningitis
probably is the most severe.
DR.. Morgan said the last named
malady starts suddenly with a
headache and fever, q severe chill,
explosive vomiting and stiffening
of the neck. A physician should
be called at once, as early treat
ment is important, he added.

Two suits in which damages of $l2,500 were claimed were settled out of court today. Both actions were awaiting trial in superior court. Terms of settlement in either case were not announced.
 One of the two cases settled was that of Violet Gendron against stephen J. Walsh, trustee. The wo- man asked $5,000 for injuries sus- tained Nov. 2, 1885, when she fell on an alleged wet and defective stairway at 199 Bank street. She listed several injuries in her com- plaint. Attorney William P. Vert heimer represented the plaintiff, Attorney Martin Gormley of New Haven the defendant.
 The other action settled was that of Ida Gordon against H. L. Green and Go. of New York, doing business as the P. and w. Grand Stores, and John McGrath of this city.

Curtailment Ordered
 Tn State WPA Forces
No New Assignments Expected Here-Weedng Out
 of TncOmpetents to Start Monthly

to be no doubt about the fact that a state wide reduction of WPA workers will start soon. During the past few weeks curtailments have been effected throughout the coun- try and not long ago it was an- nounced that a survey would be con- ducted in some parts of the state in connection with the relief status of persons now employed, whether or not such persons were married, etc.
 Tn New Haven, the state head quarters are keeping all such infor- nation to themselves, but in many circles there the news has been noised about that the state quota of WPA workers will be greatly re- duced. In New Britain, Welfare Superintendent John L. Doyle has announced that 25%o cut was ex- pected on the WPA rolls of that city. No figures concerning a reduction can be secured here, for there is no headquarters, but 1t is safe to presume that Waterbury will be affected in the same manner as other cities in the state.
 It is believed that the method carried out in connection with a reduction would be set forth so that workers who have been functioninR in an inefficient fashion will be the first to be dropped and after them if further reduction is deemed necessary, men who are without a relief status and those who are normally employed in an occupation that might have seasonal pickup in the spring. Tn New York state men who were dropped under such rules were given the right to appea, their dismissal to an employees complaint appeals board, set up fol such a purpose.
