II WATERBURY
MOTORISTS IN
FATAL MISHAPS
Nine Involved In Out-Of.
Town Accidents Reports
State Department

OF a total of II Waterbury
motorists involved In fatal
accidents last year, nine, the
majority, figured in 0ut-of-
town accidents, which proves
that it may not be safe, but
at least it's safer to stay
home. Statistics released by
the State Department Of
motor vehicles show that 119
operators from the congested
area group Of cities were in
volved in fatal accidents in their
own communities, while 131 were
involved in other places.
Hartford and New Haven motor
lists followed the Waterbury trend
in fatal accidents, but Bridgeport
and New Haven autoists were safer
out of town, the report shows.
Out of 81 fatal accidents involv-
ing Bridgeporters, IL took place out
of that city: out Of 10 involving New
Britainers, five occurred away from
home.
Reviewing the whole field Of trail
fic fatalities for last year, Commits
sioner Michael A. Conner finds that
60 per cent of the operators were
residents of the IS cities and towns
of more than 10000 population.

kitchen serving meals. This depart
ment caters chiefly to young men
who are without other homes and
those who have left home to obtain
jobs in our city. It Is wholly self
supporting and contributes finan-
cially to other departments that are
not revenue producing.
This whole building comprising
fifty-five bedrooms, dining room and
kitchen, gymnasium, swimming pool,
individual class games rooms, class
rooms, locker rooms and showers,
necessarily requires repairs, replace
ments, new equipment to q great
extent. Our financial report is brok-
en- down to costs Of these several
classifications and indicates the fl
nancial burden revolving around the
upkeep Of this establishment. Loss
of income has necessarily held us
back from new developments, but
constant attention to an old build
ing required certain financial OUT
lays. We continue to operate on a
pay-as-you-go basis, and only hope
that too severe financial outlay
will not reach us at critical time.
However, a careful use Of revenue
has allowed us to operate within
our income and add to our previous
balance. This balance will be offset
to great extent by the replacement
of our swimming pool heater which
has just been installed and will be
expended in 1910.
Financial Report
An analysis of our financial re-
port will show slight drop in gen.
eral revenue from our previous year,
due chiefly to an unsettled business
period. We hope for a more stable
year in 1910 which may allow US to
make many needed repairs and re-
placements to our building. General
gifts and endowments have also
shown marked decrease due, in a
large part, to loss of contributions
from old contributors who have
passed on. To these people we owed
our very file, as it is they who as
sisted us in ou- first lean years and
carried us on through later years.
We hope that these contributions
can be made up by smaller amounts
received from larger numbers of
givers. Endowment revenue also suf-
fered slightly through loss Of rev.
enue due to poor business condi-
lions. we hope that the future out
look will improve for this source
inasmuch as our endowment rev.
enue has helped to carry us on
without too much public pressure.
