Pie Firm Ruling Delay
Disturbs Rutland

District Health Officer George C.
Ruhland today expressed concern at
the delay in announcement of a rul-
ing on the Connecticut Pie Co, case,
on which hearings before the L.
cense Revocation Board were COM
pleted August 9.
Numerous reports by Health De-
partment inspectors of "inSanitary
conditions" allegedly prevailing at
the bakery had brought about the
hearings, at which company officials
were directed to show cause why the
company's license should not be
revoked
DR.. Rutland said he had been
informed that the revocation board
had gone on vacation and is with
holding any pronouncement con-
corning the case.
"Obviously," he asserted. "the
Health Department Is concerned
to get decision with regard to the
plant continuing in business"
So far as could be ascertained
the only member of the board on
vacation is Chairman John ODea.
Adam A. Giebel, chief clerk of the
corporation counsel's Office, said Mr.
ODea had been away this week
but was expected back at his Office
after the Labor Day holiday.
A spokesman for the District Com
missioners office said no recon-
mendation from the License Revo-
cation Board had yet been received

The necessity for a quick solution
Of the problem is evidenced in a
quick perusal of the figures for the
10-year period which show the
steady rises.
There were 12,248 births recorded

total last year. So far this year

indicating an increase over the cor
responding period last year.
Mr.. Giancoli said the influx of
persons to this area, more marriages
during the war years and an in

from war conditions, are among the
principal causes for the birth rate
increase.
