Buy Fewer Pieces Of New
Equipment.

Supplemental estimates submitted
to Congress by the Budget Bureau dis
closed today that the District Fire
Department will be forced to buy fewer
pieces of new apparatus than author
lied in the 1887 appropriation act.
An item of s92 1000 in the act pro-
vides for purchase of three hook-and-
ladder trucks, four combination hose
wagons and two pumping engines.
Bids opened several months ago, how
ever. revealed that the minimum price
for this equipment would be $104,000.
At the request of Fire Chief Charles
Z. Schrom, the Commissioners asked
an additional $4,000 to meet the diff
ference between the appropriation and
the low bid. The Budget Bureau de-
MED the request, but changed the Ian
guage of the appropriation act so the
S92 600 may be spent "for additional
fire-fighting apparatus" AS a result
the Fire Department will not be able
to buy all the equipment originally
authorized.

 Appeal Result
(Continued from Page O

1 were no sanitary drinking cups on the premises.
 Several employees of the dress making concern were suffering with tuberculosis, 1t was stated in the finding, and they were allowed to expectorate on the floor and thus cause the spread of germs. It was said that the employer had knowl- edge of these unsanitary conditions and took no action to remedy the shocking conditions.
 Until the introduction of the Na- tional Recovery Act, the girl was forced to work from 60 to 70 hours per week, the finding said, but att erwards the hours were reduced to 35.
 The first symptoms of tubercu- losis are said to have showed in May, 1894, when X-rays were taken, and they revealed the condition which allegedly ultimately disabled the plaintiff. During her period of employment at the West Clay street plant, the girl IS said to have worked in the same room with 100 other operators, although there was not room for that many. In May, 1884, she was sent to Gaylord Farm for treatment of tuberculosis.
 Immediately after the finding by Commissioner Lynch, the l. Dibner & Brothers Incorporated appealed to the superior court, and there, in judgment of a. motion to correct, Judge Newell Jennings held that the compensation act did not cover the disease of industrial tuberculosis, and held that certain paragraphs of the finding should be corrected. Judge Jennings found that only one of the two necessary factors of oc- cupational disease were present in the case. He did substantiate the finding in the greater part, however.
 This order by Judge Jennings left the issues in the favor of the I. Dib- ner & Brothers, and the plaintiff, Josephine Madeo, took an appeal to the supreme court of the state of Connecticut. Justices of the su. preme court found no error in the ruling of Judge Jennings that the disease did not come within the compensation act, and the appeal was dismissed.
 The latest development, the civil action which was filed today Is be- in closely watched in legal and labor circles.
 The girl, Josephine Madeo, who is plaintiff in this action was born September s. 1913, and according to finding of Compensation Commis- sioner Lynch showed no taint of tuberculosis, either direct or col- lateral, until after several years work amid the allegedly unsanitary conditions of the dressmaking estab- lishment. The shop of the defend- ants was originally opened on Canal street in 1927, later being moved to Clay street, then to West Clay street, and latest to its present loca- tion, Canal street again.

 torney Bronson, the statutes provide that an appeal must be made within two weeks after judgment, and with in that time an order for evidence must be made. Attorney Bronson claims that on the last day of the two weeks allowed for filing an ap- peal, the defendants attorney, David Raymond of Hartford, filed l, a request for extension of time to take appeal. At that time, and until April 27, when the motion to dis miss the appeal vas made, no order had been made for evidence by At torney Raymond, according to At torney Bronson.
 FraId Alleged
 Judge John A. Cornell handed down judgment on March q which granted Mrs. Relyea damages of $1,918.62 against the Pacific Fire In- surance Company. The claim was based on an automobile insured by the plaintiff with the defendant. The automobile burned and the insur- ance company had refused to pay any more than $500 damages, and in answer to the suit had claimed that fraud was used in insuring the car, which was an Auburn with a special supercharger.
 Headings to be heard in the France-Munson case will be on mo- tions pertaining to the Jurisdiction of the supreme court on the case. The appeal is taken by France from the order of the superior court 10 Compensation Commissioner James M. Lynch to amplify his original finding and hear further evidence in the case which had its origin in the compensation court. Attorney Mich ael V. Blansfield and Attorney Harry N. Albert, representing France, claim that the order was not neces- sary and took an appeal to the supreme court.
 Attorney John H. Cassidy, repre- Senting Munson in the case, claims that the appeal should not be in su- preme court because the order to the Compensation Commissioner did not constitute judgment, and therefore cannot be appealed. He further contends that the appeal was not filed with the two weeks limited.
 More Evidence
 The case originated in compensa- iton court with Commissioner Lynch filing an award for France, who was injured while working for Munson on Middlebury property. Munson took an appeal to the superior court where Judge Frank P. McEvoy entered an order that Commissioner Lynch should hear more evidence and amplify the finding before the appeal in superior court could De heard. From this order the appeal was taken 70 the supreme court.
