Park City Responsible
For Special Cops
BRIDGEPQRT. Apr. 15. .— How
the city of Bridgeport, or any other
Connecticut town or city. is respon-
sible to a policeman. special police-
man or, fireman or an , "employs"
under the provisions of the “fork-
mens' Compensation act is set forth
by Justice Beach of_ the Supreme
Court of Errors in his written de-
cision on the case of. Frank B.
Lake.
Lake, a special pelicelnsn was in.
lured in an accident. on Januray 1.
1922. The city held it was not ll~
able to pay compensation. The high
court finds otherwise, Lake is to re-
ceive a. sum estimated at close to
$5,000. He is represented by At-
torney Clifford B .VVIlson.
Justice Beach, upholding Lake's
claim. points out in. what respect
are erroneous. the contentions 'of
the city that the special officer was
not an employs 9f the city. or. if
he was ,that he was merely ‘ a
“casual employe." and that his in-
juries did not arise out of and in
course of his employment as a spe-
cial. ' w
The Board of Police Commis-
sioners here previously Pequircd that
special officers be paid by the pri-
vnto individuals who employed
them. Later. at the time Lake was
injured. they were paid direct by
tained ,ln advance, their wages from
the factory. theatre, dance hall
owner or other person who hired
them. At all times, it was con-
sidered, the Police Department ex-
cfircised its discipline over the spe-
cials. .

C b‘e c k Disease in
State—v1“ a ir fi e‘ l d
, County Affected '
WASHINGTON, April 1§.—War
has beee declared in Falrfleld coun-
ty. Connecticut. against the tuber-
cular cow. 7 ”
.~Federal government. state and
county have aligned their forces to
do battle. and it; will has. war to
extermination :theywill not rest or
sfvoguarter until the enemy has
been driven entirely out.
The bottle will not be an easy one
in It‘élrfield county. More than
fifteen per cent. of all the cattle in
the county have been found to be
infected with bovine tuberculosis.
Nearly. the whole. '0: the state of
Connecticut is in just as bad at sit-
uation in this regard. Windham
county is the only county in the
state with less than fifteen per cent.
infection. In this county. infection
ranges between seven and fifteen per
cent. Connecticut is one of the most
badly infected states in the entire
country. .
The Federal government is co-
operating with State and County
officials in the efiort to stamp out
tuberculosis of cattle. Congress
each year makes an appropriation
ot funds to be used on a fifty—fifty
basis with the states in this work.
Not unlike the commander of an
army in the field. Dr. J. A. ‘Kicrnan,
Chief of the Tuberculosis Eradica-
tion Division of the Bureau 02 An-
imal Iridium. sits in his office in
Washington and checks on what
are called "a.Wr Maps." the daily
progress of the eradication forces. -
Raw Milk Used on Farm_
"There is scarcely any milk used
for home consumption on the farnr
that is pasteurized,” Dr. Kiernun
said. “and considering the source
of the family supply on many
farms. it is not strange that a con-
siderable percentage of tuberculous
children'aro found in the rural dis-
tricts." _
. In Connecticut during the month
of February. 1.074 cattle were test-
ed and 34 of these were found to
be infected with bovine tubercu-
losls: That month's tests involved
64 herds oi’ cattle in the state.
608 Accredited Horas
On the first of March. there were
603 "accredited” herds,~a total of
12.0 3 cattle in the state. which
had passed two or more tests. and
been found free from disease. In
addition. 411 herds, or 6,904 cat-
- . .
tlo in the state had passed one test.
A total of 1,76% herds, or 35,688,
cattle in Connecticut are now under
supervision of federal. state and
county inspectors. and there is a.
waiting list in the state of 630
herds, or some 10,265 cattle whose
owners are clamoring for inspec-
tion.
During the mouth of February.
83 claims for indemnity for 96 dis:
eased cattle which had been con—
demned, were paid by state and ted-
cral authorities in Connecticut. The
average payment per claim by the
statewas $80.27 and by the federal
government, 814.94.
The introduction of tuberculosis
of livestock into the United States»
can be definitely traced to the im-
portation of cattle from European
countries. Since its introduction, it
has spread to every part of the
United States. and in 1917.,jwhon
Congress first made an apprOpria.
.tion or $75,000 to combat the "dis.
ease. there was scarcely a county in
the land which was free from infec-
tion. Since the start of comparative
eradication work. 59 counties in 14
states have been cleared of. the dis-
ease. Six counties have been added
to this “accredited” list since the
first of the year.
