 Pre-schOol Clinics
 Five preschool clinics located at North End YcfCA, Rose Hill Library, Duegan School. Christ Chapel and Salvation Army, were held at regu- lar intervals during the years le44 and le45. Prevention protection such as vaccination against smallpox and administration of toNoid against diphtheria is offered at these clinics. The attendance is not as large as in former years, probably due to the fa.s that many families can now af- ford to 30 to private doctors. The following table summarizes the work done at the clinics.
 N, Absorption Plan
 During the l944-4S period a total of FOOT were examined at these clinics of which 6a4 were vaccinated and 3S9 received toxoid treatment,
 Plans for the absorption, by the Visiting Nurses Association, of the immuniEation program done at the pre- -schocol clinics by the health de- partment staff have been discussed by officials of both organizations To better coordinate the activities of this program we believe 1t feas- ible to tie it in with the Child conferences, conducted by the Visit. ing Nurses Association. This change will take effect during the early part of l946, Dr. Godfrey states.

FourHeId In Staying
 Boxwood Manor
 Murder Revived

Hartford, Feb. 23.-(UP)-State Police today held four men in con- nection with the Christmas Eve staying of James Streeto, caretaker of Boxwood Manor in Old Lyme, two years ago, for which Miss Delphine Bertrand, 63, was serving a 10 to IS years manslaughter sentence.
 The arrests came with the reopen ing of investigation of the case after Philip Contino. 30, New London, told State Police he and three other men were involved in the staying while he as being questioned in con- nection with a safe robbery in New London.
 Contino allegedly told police he drove three other men to the care- takers cottage on Christmas Eve, 1928, to rob Streeto. He said Marvin Beebe, 24, now serving state prison sentence on another charge, was the man who fired the fatal shot, while Miss Bertrand covered under a bed in an adjoining room.
 Others being held besides Beebe and Contino were Walter F. John- son. 33, Lodi. N. r.. who was arrest ed in Oneida. N. r.. and Joseph Smith, 28, arrested in Corona, L. I.
 Miss Bertrand, when she was first arrested. told police Streeto had been killed by three men who came to rob him but later said she shot Streeto after a quarrel over his rec fusal to keep his promise to marry her. Police said they believed Miss Bertrand and Contino may have planned the robbery and said that, although she was known to have been with Contino two weeks before the staying. she did not identify him as one of the robbers.
 Warrants for the arrest of the four men were issued by old Lyme Justice Shirley Saunders. charging them with assault.

Tax rates are apparently a cauSe of concern in more than one Connecticut community this year. Hartford had its share of trouble before it finally adopt ed a g mill rate which wont urOyide sufficient funds to cover aupropriatiOns; now Bridgeport IS engaged in a discussion over an increase. Controller Perry Rod- man wanted the old rate of 2S.S mills retained, but the Board oi Apporti0nment and Taxation voted for a tentative rate of 29.S mills, the final Say-sO to be given next Tuesday. Mir. ROdman's sug- gestiOn was accompanied by re- quest for $500, 600 in short term notes, but the board would have none of this, just as in Hartford a deficiency bond issue of sIOO," 900 was turned down. Up there'
 though, this bond issue was Op- pOsed by most of the city fathers,
 including Director of Finance Bob" Duffy's office.
 It begins to look as if there could be a battle started over the nam" ing of the new Connecticut river bridge to link old Saybrook and Old Lyme. Approval of the span was virtually assured in Washington this week with a favorable report on the same by a subcommittee of the Committee on Foreign and Interstate Commerce. A four-lant structure of type similar to Hart lords Charter Oak bridge Is planned with a l0-cent toll im- uosed for automobiles. the rate be- ing based on five cents per axle The political repercussions will come in the naming. 4 movement is now afoot to name 1t for Gov.
