Structure to Be Erected
Over Steele Brook on
East Aurora Street

The bureau OF engineering and
recommendations Will study plans
for O new bridge over Steele brook
on East Aurora street, which will
replace two narrow and over-age
spans crossing the creek and will
make It's report to the board OF
public works within two weeks.
The bureau will also report TO
the board suggestions for correcting
traffic hazards TO more than 1000
employees Of the Waterbury Tool
division OF Vickers. Inc, who use
the thoroughfare in going to and
from work. The present bridges are
only II feet wide and the expansion
OF the Tool company during the last
three years has been greatly IN.
creased In the volume OF motor traf-
fc.
Tool company officials and Comsr.
Henry Bowling agreed that when
ever trafiic moving in opposite d.
rections meets on the bridges there
Is scarcely room for the vehicles to
pass. This created q dangerous con-
dition for pedestrians who do not
have sidewalk protection at any
point along the street between Wa
tertown avenue and the factory.
City Engineer Charles A. Root
advocated the building Of o foot
bridges, as q temporary measure, for
over the brook which is to be con-
nected with O cinder walk and curb
ing. At the request Of the board,
the engineer will make further study
OF the cost Of new bridge and the
possibility Of obtaining priorities on
steel and other essential materials.

The Abolition of WANT!
Would Remove From Industrial Society the Five
Great Evils, Poverty, SqualOr, Ignorance,
Disease and IdleneSS
from The Connecticut Economic COuncID

The Atlantic Charter declared
that one Of the detectives OF the
was TO free Us from want" The
Charter, however, contained no
plans as TO how to achieve this.
Civilized society has been striving
TO reduce want" for over $50 years
by gradually raising the standard
Of earning, which supports our llv-
ing. On the whole, we have sue
ceeded during the last so years be-
yond the dreams Of the founders.
To continue TO do 50 is q challenge
to our enterprise system.
want" here means the lack Of
steady earnings adequate TO pro-
vide q standard Of subsistence"
The so-called Beverage Plan Of
Social Security was the first Brit.
ish attempt since the war to pre-.
sent q concrete plan which would
further the reduction Of economic
Want. The underlying precedentS
for this Plan, however, are found In
the legislation Of Germany, Great
Britain, the United States and Of
some 20 other nations during the
IaSt 0V years.
The Beveridge report recently Is
sued Is now said to be the best-sel-
Ter In London. It rests upon the
faith the State may, by organized
and unceasing efforts, assure some
individuals, not all, against "a loss
Of earning power adequate for
subsistence" The purpose Of the
L. kN Aakak Ita1A VankfAVanH SNafvA-
ilnum which will help to remove
from Britain what Beveridge has
called the five great evils Of modern
industrial society; poverty, squalOr,
ignorance, disease and idleness.
If Want" stems from these
sources. which are ingrained In our
ways of living, 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that the granting Of none
tary benefit is going TO eliminate
them.
No plan Of state insurance against
loss Of earning power viii make over
human nature. But Sir william in
sists that 1t will establish more sta
ble conditions Of income among the
lowest paid groups OF population. 1t
will not eliminate want" IN fact
Sir william makes 1t clear that 1t
will fail OF its purpose If 1t estab-
fishes, In the minds Of large groups
Of individuals. the point Of view
that when the State undertakes to
put them in the possession of
minimum standard of subsistence 1t
thereby guarantees them an de
quate living without regard TO
their own efforts. Therefore, Sir
william insists. there must be
wide gap maintained between the
benefits paid and the average stand
ard Of earnings.
THE PLAN
The Beveridge Plan proposes to
pay benefits to the following classes
during periods when earnings have
ceased: a. employees under q con.
tract OF service; (2) other gainfully
employed persons, including en-
ployers. traders. and independent
workers; go housewives--i.e.. mar
ried women Of working age: 90
others Of working age not gainfully
employed; go youths below age IS;
CD adults retired above working
age Of 60 for women and IS for
men.

Few Casualties Among
Women War Workers
Study OF Industrial Accident Statistics Indicates
Women Adjusting Themselves Efficiently to Work

The numebr Of women killed In
occupational accidents In l942 was
comparatively small despite the
many thousands Of women who
have answered their country's call
and taken on new and unaccustomed
Jobs In war work. This statement
Is made by the Statisticians Of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com.
pany, who base their conclusions on
the mortality experience Of their
company's industrial policyholders,
The statisticIans estimate that In
the United States the total number
OF women who died from occupa-
tional Injuries In 1912 was only about
$50, as compared with 800 in 1910.
This comparatively small toll, they
say, Is In marked contract to the
1880 work accident fatalities among
men and Is due largely to the fact
that, while women are patriotically
Offering their services In war plants
and are being accepted, they are not
being placed In the more hazardous
occupations. The time may, however,
not be far distant when really large
numbers Of them will be employed
IN operations involving more hazard
than has been encountered ordin-
arily in womens work heretofore"
The newness Of the women TO the
various industrial fields would Sug-
gest," the statisticians comment,
that for q time at least their death
rates would exceed those prevailing
among men In the same occupations,
for inexperience is unqueStionably a
contributing cause Of accidents.
There Is, however, no real indica-
ton that the number Of fatal &C.

Progressive GrOwths
"The rapid and progressive growth
Of the state establishment, which
today comprises more than 100
agencies and departments, raises
serious questions for the people Of
Connecticut" Mr.. Atkins pointed
out. There is no clear that the up
ward trend Of expenditures Is at
an end. Except for declining ex-
penditures for highways and the
virtual cessation II capital con-
struction. the budget for the next
biennium contemplates increased
appropriations for all other major
classifications. Based on the ex-
perience Of Connecticut and other
states during the depression, there
is little likelihood that expenditures
would or could be adjusted to any
sudden and sharp decline in post
war revenues. II the risk OF incur
ring deficits or increased taxes is
to be avoided in the transition to
normal business activity. state ex-
penditures must be related. not to
present war inflated revenues, but
to q level Of state income which
may reasonably be expected in
normal times"

iting Its sale, and the balance
against the State.
INDIVIDUAL ASSESSMENTS
The cost to the average individual
for single male adults was placed
at CSC per week. The rates vary by
age groups and martial condition.
FLAT CONTRIBUTION
AND BENEFIT
Both the rates Of contribution and
the benefits are based on flat
amounts, the same for all persons
irrespective Of earnings. from the
highest to the lowest. This Is be-
cause the benefits, which are To
supply ian adequate standard Of
subsistence" are to be the same for
all. irrespective Of earnings. Con-
tribution TO the Plan is compulsory
and the benefits are guaranteed
without regard to need and con-
tinue for the period Of the loss Of
earnings, subject to the necessity
Of the individuals submitting to re-
Mobilization treatments and train
ing courses.
THE AMOUNT OF BENEFITS
Space does not permit of our Civ
ing the benefits in detail which vary
by age, sex, and martial condition.
Typical benefits would amount to
about $500 a week for single male
adults, $500 for a married couple.
The children's allowances are $I.60
per week for every child under l6
years of age (excepting one): funer-
al benefits, 5000; maternity bene-
fits. $1,000: pensions. $500 per week.
Industrial disability benefits, at
two-thirds of earnings, but not to
exceed $i2.O0 per week.
WHO PAYS THE BILL?
The Plan proposes to assess every
employed person. Therefore. the in
dividual In the groups covered pays
20 percent Of the cost. The consum-
ing public. through its purchases,
pays the 20 percent Of the cost first
assessed against the employer. and

naming SO percent. In other words,

cupatlonal accidents among women
Is actually rising out Of proportion
TO the increased numbers Of women
employed.
1.-THE mortality records Of the
millions Of women insured In the
company's Industrial department, for
example, show an increase to 80
deaths from occupational accidents
In 1912, as compared with an average
Of 20 annually in the period 1887
to 1891, inclusive. This Is only about
what might have been expected from
the increase In the number Of women
employed in 1912"
In the experience OF the insur-
ance company, none Of the deaths
except for few due to explosions
In munitions plants, resulted from
accidents in what are generally re-
garded as hazardous occupations.
The reason for this, 1t Is pointed
out, Is that, while women are EN-.
ployed In some Of the more hazard
Gus industries such as construction,
mining and transportation, farming
and heavy manufacturing, In which
the bulk Of the male occupational
deaths occur-not many of the wo-
men are doing the more lahorious
and hazardous tasks" The heavier
part Of the work, 1t is explained,
has been segregated and assigned
to male workers or, where possible.

means.
