Since late 1885 until the close of 1889, a total of ITO new public buildings have been added to the Connecticut scene by the WPA. Such were the figures made public today by State Administrator Vim cent J. Sullivan, in the second of a series of reports on the physical accomplishments of the WPA in this state.
 These buildings represent all types of public structures, ranging from simple storage buildings to modern schools. Included are town halls, recreation buildings, hoSpi- tals, office buildings, otwn garages, one penal institution, etc.
 By counties, Hartford leads all the rest with a total of "A new structures of various kind, with Fairfield second with 36, New Ha- ven third with 25 and New London fourth with 19. MiddleSex county has 2. Windham s, Holland 3 ard Litchfield 1.
 Buildings repaired by WPA dur ing this 4 1-2 year period total 869 for the state, with Hartford county leading with 295 New Haven county second with 186, Fairfield county third with 173, and New London county fourth with 97.
 A total of 20 additions to exist ing buildings have been erected by the WPA.
 Of the buildings repaired, a statis- tical breakdown shows that nearly one-half, or 405, were school build ings. Second in importance insofar as numbers of buildings repaired is concerned are the 95 firehouses which have undergone one type or another of repair work. It is in- teresting to note, too, that the WPA has erected a total of eight new flrehouSeS throughout the state, and built three additions to others.
 New school buildings by WPA total five in number. Griswold high school in New London county, and four others in Fairfield county. A note of explanation concerning these latter four school buildings should be given. Two are brand new-Beaver Brook school in Dan- bury and Lordship scholo in Strat- ford. The other two are the Bar

new sewage service connections and improved 12 more New sanitary privieS built in Connecticut total 6c.

 Another distinct service to com munity health is tn ework WPA had done in erecting water treat ment plants, improving and enlarg- ing water reservoirs, laying water mains and pipe lines, and storage tanks.
 Two new water treatment plants, one in Windham county and the other in New London county, have been constructed by WPA and have a total capacity of 2,100000 gallons. Three such plants have been im- proved in Fairfield county, of a to- tai capacity of 75O00O gallons.
 Twelve new reservoirs have been built, 10 in MiddleSex, 1 in Fairfield and 1 in New London counties, while 16 others have been improved. Of these latter reservoirs, 12 were in Middlesex county, 1 in New Ha- ven county, 2 in New London county and 1 in Litchfield county.
 WPA has laid more than 58 miles of new water mains and improved 13 miles, while 862 new water Serv- ice connections have been installed and improvements made to 1907 others
 RecreatiOnal Activities
 Not all the stress of the public works program has been placed on roads, buildings, utilities and the like. Tn the field of recreational facilities WPA in Connecticut has made many noteworthy and out standing contributions.
 As result, Connecticut now has 13 new and 3 improved stadiums; 9 new and 108 improved public parks; 9 new and improved play grounds; 28 new and 27 improved athletic fields; Fl new and g im- proved tennis courts; 9 new and 2 improved swimming pools; 3 new and improved public golf courses; 1 new and improved Wading pools and 12 horseshoe courts; 3 new handball courts and new and 9 improved ice skating areas.

nun and Beardsiey schools in Bridgeport. Residents of this city may be quick to say that these buildings were originally erected many years ago-and it would be true. But both were practically completely destroyed by incendiary fires during this period and were later demolished, in large part, be- cause of the extensive damages. Then each building was rebuilt by WPA-at least 70%-and 1t is for this reason that they are classified as new" school buildings.
 Sewerage Systems
 On the public health side Of the WPA ledger should be added the 263 miles of new and more than g miles of improved storm water and sanitary sewer systems. Also the nine new and 13 improved sewage treatment plants, the former with a total capacity of 27,202,0OO gallons per day and the latter of 100,823,- 500 gallons per day capacity.

The work of the Visiting Nurse association was praised as an i'm portant feature of the public health program by Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health ofhcer. in a talk over Station WA1R last night. He asked that the public give wide support to the VIVA in its current drive for funds.
 A sketch concerning the work of the visiting nurses was given over Station VERY last night by Mrs. Edmund J. Abbott, Jr., and Miss Bettie Gilman.
 Describing the work of the VIVA, pr. Godfrey said:
 The association is staffed by IS nurses, a supervisor, director and 8 nutritionist. They make between 125 and 15O calls to Waterbury homes every day, caring for the sick. They have had an important share in keeping the infant mortal ity rate in Waterbury at a low level, so that other cities have sought to learn the methods used here. I, am very desirous of seeing their program carried on because 1t touches 8 phase of public health which is not a part of the activities of our department. I cannot en- phasize too strongly that the Visit ing Nurses work hand in hand with the health department and reach into homes where the official department would have no occasion to visit. This is priceless service to the community.
 Health Education
 In addition to their bedside nur- sing their infant welfare and pre- natal work, the phase of health education of our people is contin- ually carried on by this organiza- ton so that our people may live healthier and happier lives.
 Expert advice is given on the care and feeding of the infants Diets are carefully planned and mothers are taught how to serve the food. Babies are weighed and measured. Mothers are instructed to be observant for any signs de- viating from 8 normal condition and the necessity of immunizing against smallpox and diphteria is stressed and 1t has been noted that where such operations have been carefully carried on infant mortal ity has been materially reduced.
 Interpret Rules
 The nurses teach and interpret health department rules and regu- lations and care for about 1-2 of the cases reported to the health department. They also call at homes where there Is sickness unreported and thus unreached by the health department.
 Every good citizen realizes the value of a healthy community and the expense of an unhealthy one and so everybody should support the Visiting Nurses association in its appeal for aid. Will you do your part and share in this important work by contributing?
