The Prettiest Little Horse At The Fair.
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1940-08-01

Coroner James j. Corrigan of
New Haven yesterday found that no
one was criminally responsible for
the death Of Gertrude M. Carmody,
SO, Of Southington, who was in
stantly killed Fourth Of july when
thrown fror. The Rocket at Savin
Rock, but recommended to State
Police Commissioner Edward Hickey
that he refuse to license this ride
In its present condition.
Coroner Corrigan further recon-
mended that the next session of the
state legislature take such steps as
may be deemed necessary to enact
adequate laws for the proper inspec-
ton of such amusements and for
the protection Of the public against
such hazards.
James F. Carmody, husband of
the Southington woman who was
killed last Independence Day, has
already filed a $4,000 civil action as
the result of the fatality.
The Rocket is a circular ride SO
feet In outside diameter. 1t Is on an
inclined plane of about 20 degrees to
horizontal and consists of % cars
which are propelled by arms from
central gear, powered by a 20
horse power, 3 phase, 60 cycle mo-
tor.
The coroner's finding stated that
Mrs. Carmody boarded one Of the
cars with another woman in high
spirits and as the ride picked up
speed her expression changed from
mirth to one of deep concern, after
which she turned white and eventu-
ally hvid red. She released her
grip on the grab handle and was
precipitated out of the car, crash
ing through an iron rail guarding a
catwalk and down on to some boxes
on the platform 10 feet below.
The coroner added that in his
opinion the ride is unsafe and If it
were allowed to operate at all, pas
sengers should be strapped in. The
effect of whirling around at high
rate Of speed is to render passengers

The kiddies of the Brooklyn dis
trict, as well as the grown-ups who
still like. to escape the blistering
rays of Sol by taking dip in the
cooling water of a swimming pool
will be obliged to wait for another
year and perhaps for several years
to come to wintess the reopening
of the Duggan school natatorium,
alias pool.
DR.. Francis P. Barnes, commits
sioner of the board of education,
queried his fellow commissioners as
to the possibility of the Duggan
pool being properly repaired and
placed at the disposal of the resi-
dents across the bridge" Being
sufferers Of the heat wave also,
the commissioners agreed that it
would be a fine thing, the proper
thing, in fact the city owed it to
the loyal Brooklynites to open up
the swimming pol as speedily as
possible there being no funds
available it would only add to the
uncomfortable of the heat wave to
think about it.
The commissioners called upon
School Inspector John McGough for
an experts opinion. Mr.. McGough
volunteered the information that it
would take 5000 to repair the pool
and place it in readiness for use.
So regardless of how DR.. Barnes and
his fellow commissioners feel, the
budget says no and the budget is
always right.
Many of Brooklyns youngsters
are trekking these days to the Chase
Park pool. The older lads are pa
tronizing Hamilton Park or their
favorite swimming hole. Some day
Papa Waterbury will have sufficient
money on hand and the Duggan
pool will be reopened to the public.
