only eight fatalities as a result of au-
tomobile accidents. while there were
fourteen during the same month of
1919: nine in 1920; fourteen in 1921,

The big‘fesfuro of "tire mo‘nfli‘y
meeting of the Nor-walk Hospital
board of directors was the presenta-
tion by Judge “'alsh of a check for
$5,406.67 from the estate of the late
John Mcflullen. Mr. MucMullcn had
made a pledge to give 85.000 to the
hospital on condition that the mort-
gage be paid. On November 26. 1931.
the board placed this matter in tho
hands of its counsel. Judge \l‘alsh.
with full power to act. Through the
efforts of Judge \Vaish and the good
offices of Mr. McMullen's niece. Mrs.
Laura A. Hughes. the full amount of
Mr: McMulien's conditional subscrip-
tion has now been paid with interest
at 6 per cent from date of settlement
of mortgage—Dec. 3, 1921 to April 10.
1923.
General Russell Frost. chairnian pro .
tern of the board. was authorized to'
receive the above payment. and exe-
cute a proper release therefor.
The following action was then taken
by the board: ‘
"Voted: In. behalf of the Norwnik
General Hospital. the board of direct-
ors express their appreciation and
thanks to Mrs. Laufa A. Hughes for
the earnest and successful efforts
which she has made to bring about a
settlement of the John McMuilen sub-
scription for 85.000. and that the sec-
retary be directed to send a copy of
this resolution to Mrs. Hughes.
“Voted: That the thanks of the
board of directors be extended to
Judas Walsh for his valued services
i
subscription of the late John McMuL
lea."
A letter of April 8. 1928, from Dr.
resignation as a. director. which had
been presented October 10. 1922. be
now accepted for the reasons stated at
that time. In the course or his letter
of last October. resigning both from

what trying circumstances and happy
to think of all thut has been accom-

matters equally vital the position of
the Norwaik hospital today is sound
and the goal for which we have
labored has been well attained. I can
see no more fitting occasion. there-
fore. than the present in which to ask
'you to accept my resignation."
At the meeting of October 10. 1922.
the resignation from the executive
committee was accepted. but the
resignation as‘ director laid upon the
table. At the meeting last night it
was voted: That the resignation of
Dr. Spence as director be taken from
the table and accepted with regret.
and that the secretary be directed to
write Dr. Spence a letter expressing
the appreciation of the board of

ously successful labors for the Nor-

would appear in a few days would
contain names and amounts of all
paid subscriptions. In this connection
it might be noted that this fund is
being used to help pay for the site of
the Nurses’ Home recently acquired by
the board. President Bedford con-
tributed 85,000, this being one-half of
the purchase price. From the Emer-
gency Appeal Fund. 84.500 has
already been paid. The executive com-
mittee was compelled to borrow $2,000
to complete the purchase the first of
the year. This note has since been
reduced to $500 and will be wiped out
just as soon as sufficient payments are
made on these old subscriptions.

Recommendation that the City of}
Norwalk spend 859.129.00 for the root
habiiitation of its fire department was
made last night in a final report of
the Special Fire Committee appointed
by Mayor Calvin L. Barton and the
Common Council to investigate the
fire needs of the city. The recom-
mendations include the appointment
of twelvb additional paid firemen: the
erection of two hose drying towers;
the purchase of 5.000 feet of hose; the
purchase of a 75-foot ariei hook and
ladder truck with equipment in-
cluding a life net; the purchase of an
additional pumping machine; a. new
roof for the Main street tire house and
the providing of suitable sleeping
headquarters in both the Main and
Commerce street quarters; that the
chief's old car be disposed of and a
new Ford chests be purchased to be
used as a service car: that the mem-
bership of the volunteer companies be
limited: that certain members of the
volunteers be designated as are police
and that Samuel McGowan be relieved
for duties and responsibilities in con-
nection with the office of_ Assistant
Chief Engineer and be assigned toi
desk and hours duties and fire pro-'
vention work.
On motion of Charles F. Hills. the
report of the committee was accepted
with thanks. and it was further voted
that the recommendations of the cone
mm be adopted by .the Common
Council to be presented for action at
the July meeting of tho Bdard of Es-
timntsoo‘d'w This motion
not autumnal! "carried. “- "
spedsl committee to investigate
the needs of the Fire Department
consisted of the following: John D.
Milne. chairman: D. W. Harfo'rd. sec-
retary: Albert E. Winchester. C. Irv-
ing Bylngton and Fred N. Wheeler.
Mr. Milne first brought the matter of
the report to the attention of the
Common Council introducing Mr.
Bartok-d. who read the lengthy. but'
particularly well prepared document.
In connection with the retirement of
Assistant Engineer McGowan. Mr.
Milne declared that the committee
did not make this report or recom-
mendation with a view of hurting Mr.
McGowan's feeling. but simply be-
cause they thought that a man. seven-
}y-seveu. years old. who had served
iwith the fire department forty-four:
years. was entitled tn retirement to:
less active duties. Mr. Milne de-
ciared that the committee felt that
“Chief" McGowan should be given
desk work as soon as the Common
Council could make provisions to this
effect.
The full report of the Fire Commit-
tee follows:
