0N BILL FOR
VACCINA'I'ION
And Against Com-
pulsory Measure in
Hartford
HARTFORD. March 5.—-—Some 200
persons crowded .the hall of the
House of Representatives here yes-
terday afternoon to expreu their
views on compulsory vaccination be-
fore the Legislative Public Health
and Saxety committee.
Proponents of the measure argued
that vaccination should be made
compulsory as a eateguard to the
public. while opponents of the meas-
ure maintained that the matter 0!
vaccination should be optional.
All of the old arguments were
brought to bear by both sides, the
opposition claiming that vaccination
in a. number of specific cases had
been the contributing cause of
deaths, and the proponents claim-
ing that it had cut down. the mor-
tality rate.
State Health Commissioner Dr.
Stanley H. Osborn declared that the
epidemic which raged in Bridgeport
in 1922. and which eventually envel-
Oped ‘30 towns and cities of the state
had been due largely because the
Educational heard there had ruled
against compulsory vaccination.
He submitted voluminous reports
and compilations to the committee
for their perusal. His figures tend-
ed to show that wherever vaccine-
(ions were made the mortality rate
was low. whereas the death was high
in communities “lzr‘rc prrsons were
not vaccinated.
The hearing centered chiefly
around a hill introduced by Repre-
sentative Ednu C. F‘t-uniman, of Nau-
gatut-k. “inch would make vaccina-
tion of school children compulsory.
There was much repetition in the
arguments advrlni-i-d by speakers on
both ridos. an! the hearing druggcd
