 T had expected that after ap- bearing before the Fire Board and criticizing the treatment accord- ed our injured flremen, and which I term the most disgraceful condi- ton I have come in contact with since being a city official, that our Police and Fire surgeon would im- mediately attempt to defend his position. did not think he would have the nerve to state that they were receiving exceptional care"
 Both Privates Buckley and Corcoran. were, up until Monday, the only patients in the so-called sun parlor which for all practical purposes is a private room, they had private nurses.
 Monday withou6 any previous warning and without even the courtesy of letting Mrs. Buckley or Mrs. Corcoran know, the men were transferred to the ward and the nurses discharged.
 Private Buckley is in a plaster cast from his chest to his feet he is absolutely helpless. A man in this condition does need private nurses and there's either some- thing lacking in a doctors judg- ment or he's acting under orders

Wife Of Accident Victim To Appear
 Before Aldermen
Dismissal of Nurses Attending Accident Victims Starts FurOre-Fire, Police Surgeon Refutes
 Charges; Alderman Walker Launches Attack

Alderman Burton H. Walker, former member of the fire board, Flayed out with criticism at the present fire commissioners yesterday afternoon when he appeared at the boards meeting at the request of Mrs. Bartholomew Buckley and friends of injured firemen, and de- Bcribed their treatment at St. Mary's Hospital as "a disgrace to the City of Waterbury. MT. Walker had reference to the transfer of Private Buckley from a private room at the institution to ward and the dis missal of three special nurses as- signed to him Private Buckley was one of six firemen injured in col lision of fire engines on February 15 at Baldwin and Washington streets.
 Suffers Relapse
 Tn his complaint he stated that Private Buckley was transferred to 8 ward with four other patients and that these changes have upset him and consequently served to affect his progress. He informed the board of the firemens injuries and the ser iousness of his condition which required that he be in a cast.
 Mrs. Buckley has been disturbed over the changes in his care, he told the board, and was unable to find out who was responsible Tor these moves, from conversations she had with Chairman Finton J. Phelan, Chief Thomas F. Cavanaugh, Dr. Andrew J. Jackson and pr. Finn, police and fire surgeon.
 MT. Walker told Mrs. Buckley that he would take the matter up when he was first asked by her, with the proper authorities. MT. Phelan answered that he was aware of the complaint of Mrs. Buckley, but told MT. walker that the responsibility for nursing care for the firemen was not one for the commissioners. Chairman Phelan said that he thought that the matter should be referred to the corporation counsel.
 Inquiry Demanded
 After MT. Walker concluded his complaint, Commissioners John M. Brodie and Patrick F. Shea moved for an immediate investigation and the hoard voted to call pr. Finn. Adjournment of the board was de- layed for 20 minutes until pr. Finn appeared at the board.
 Dr. Finn told the board that Private Buckley had be.i trans ferred from the temporary quarters on tae first floor of the hospital to the mems section of the hospital because since his admittance to the

when he does not recommend them.
 These men received fine treat ment from the city after the acci- dent but from remarks made by Chairman Phelan and Doctor Finn, 1t is costing the city too much money to continue to fur .nish proper care for these men and in order to save money, the city Is beginning to welsh on their responsibility.
 asked the Fire Board, and now feel that the mayor, in order to reach a fair and intelligent de- cision, visit these men ct the hos- pital.
 sincerely hope that the many friends of Privates Buckley and Corcoran visit them that they too might get q good idea of how the City of Waterbury treats their firemen, injured in the line of duty.
 I think Q little more courtesy should be expected from 0 city official receiving $4,500 annually than that shown by Doctor Finn to Mrs. Buckley.
 BURTON IT. WALKER,
 439 Sylvan Avenue,
 Member Board of Aldermen.
 To Press Charges
 It was announced this morning that Mrs. Buckley plans to make { personal appearance before tht board of aldermen and demand ar investigation unless the fire boart and the fire and police surgeon takt a more sympathetic view of thu case.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-03-20

hospital he had only occupied the other room temporarily. He ex- plained to the board that the change to the.other ward was ordered by the hospital, and that Private Buckley is making satisfactory recovery from his injuries.
 He said that the special nurses were dismissed from his case only after the fireman's condition im- proved and that the service of these nurses was not necessary.
 Mrs Buckley, MT. Walker told the board, has engaged the services of the nurses at her own expense. The nurses were previously paid out of the city's own insurance fund from which the cost of the hospital and medical care is provided for the men injured.
 The nursing care which MT. Buck ley is receiving. pr. Finn informed the board, is the same which is ex- tended to other patients in the hos- pital. Besides the student nurses, he asserted, there is graduate nurse on the floor and a nun who super vises the care of the patients.
 Student Nurses
 This was in explanation to the charge made by MT. Walker who said that Buckley was under the care of student nurses and was put into a ward with other patients. In this arrangement he stated that they could not give as much care to the firemen under these condi- tions.
 pr. Finn said that MT. Buckley and MT. Corcoran, another victim of the fire engine crash, were re- ceiving exceptional care and that both of these men were past the critical stage.
 The physician said that if the fireman's condition should warrant the services of special nurses he would order their assignment to the case.
 St. Mary's hospital reported today that when the two flremen, Pri- yates Buckley and Corcoran were admitted to the institution, they were placed in a sun porch on the first floor, which is considered semi private but that these arrangements were only temporary as there were no vacancies on the mems floor. The present transfers were made when accommodations became available, hospital authorities stated. Conse- quently MT. Buckley has not occu- pied a private room since his ad- mittance.
