HOSPITAL WILL
ASK STATE TO
GIVE $30,000
The last regular meeting of the
board of directors of the Norwalk
hospital associetlbn for the hospital
year was held last evening at the
hospital.
Formal application was made at
this meeting to the state legislature
for 230,000 state aid for the ensuing
two year period. For a number of
years this has been the amount ask-
ed fey by the Norlvalk hospital. and
822,000, or 811,000 per year, has
been the amount granted by the leg-
islature. Two years ago a bill was
introduced in the legislature which
would have limited the state appro-
priation to any hospital to the
amount contributed to such hospital
by the local city or town govern-
ment. This measure was defeated.
but in the hearings held by the
committee on appropriations the
view was expressed bysmembers of
the committee that the time was
coming when the measure of local
itfflly‘ determine the amount of
state aid.
A letter was read from Mrs. Jen-
nie w. Howard. treasurer of the
Wuhhn‘s 7'9!» Saint Mathew's
Church of enclosing a check
for set forhospitsl maintenance.
This was ’a portion of the receipts
ofIthe Canterbury Market held by
St. Mathew’s church. and was given
to.the Norwalk hospital in appre-
ciation of the generous supportnof
the Canterbury Market by the pub-
lic of ,Wilton. The superintendent
was instructed to express the appre-
ciation of the board of directors of
this thoughtful gift.
Report was" made of unpaid sub-
scriptions to the Nurses' Home
Building Fund totaling $3769.11any
subscriptions were paid at the time
they were nlade. A great deal was
sent in during the three months fol-
eut any additional solicitation. Aft-
er tha first of the year. three no-
tices were sent to unpaid subscribers
at various intervals and a personal
letter to all delinquent subscribers in
July. The total number of unpaid
subscriptions is 168 and the amounts
range from 21.00 to $500. The
building committee and the board of
directors would greatly appreciate
the myment of,tbcse subscriptions
wkhout further solicitation. Every
dollar of it is needed for payment
of bills already incurrdd or for final
work to be done on the grounds of
the Nurses' Home.

THIS EVENING
Report, In Full or in Part,
0n Dunn-Sterling Dis-
closures Expected From
Commissioners.
The Interest of the city tonight
will center on the developments and
reports at the meeting of the second
taxing district in the city hall. The
district commissioners are to give
either a. full or partial report mak-
ing dificiui for the first time an-
nouncement of the amount embos-
zled from the office funds through
the operations' of Percy Dann and
Arthur Sterling. dcfalcating clerks.
Further business that will cornc be-
fore the meeting is the election of a
district auditor. to fill the position
now held by Charles Walters.
Just what amount is to be named
as the sum milked from the district
by the two clerks is still even unof-
ficially in doubt as the report is
awaited. Sterling's counsel. Judge
George H. Vosburgb. is quoted as
saying that his client can make POI:
titutlon up to 818. 000.
That restitution will be made in
full or nearly in full is considered
certain by city officials who quote
the members of both clerks' families
as feeling that failure to cover the
amount the two owe the city. would
be a reflection on their relatives.
There are also district meetings in
the fir(t. third. fifth and sixth dis-
‘ general
Had it not been for the persuasive
powers of these 26th district met
prevailing upon some of the onlp
delegates in this and of the count:
who at first favored Wadhams, re-
sults would have been different.
When these women found that Wil-
liamson had withdrawn as a candi-
date for attorney general they want-
ed to vote for John Wadhams for
lieutenant governor. That was their
intention two hours before the cone
ventioh opened yesterday morning.
it required some urging to its p
them firm for Brainard and Jo n
Milne proved a. great pcrsuader.
Brainard only had nine votes
above the necessary majority to pre—
vail and it would have required only
a shift of these to have lost him the
victory and deadlocked the conven-
tion. Once tied up. Senator Walcott.

ard nor Wadbams carried the db!
on the first.
There is a good deal of mystery
to why Ban w. suing. of New firiu
lain was chosen by the state organi-
zation for attorney general when
Hartford County already has so
many state officers to its credit. This
one county has the gov emor. lieuten-
ant governor, one of the United
States senators and now the attorney
making four in all from
one county.
The Norwalk delegates were not-
urally disappointed that Charles E.
Williamson was not successfui in
getting the nomination for attorney
general. They all worked with
might aid main to “put him over"
and at... of them were so keyed up
in the contest that they did not want
to quit even when Williamson him-
self had withdrawn. It was only by,
the greatest difficulty that William-
son, John Milne and Ernest Crofoot
of Barton brought some of the all-
pexficnthusiastic admirers of Wil-
liamson around to the point where
they would accept defeat with good
grace and support the state organic
sation's candidate. Benjamin Ailing
of New Britain. After it was all
over. these bitter enders were glad
they did support the organisation?
but in the heat of the battle it seem-
cd like \ery bitter medicine The
assurance that other honors would
come to Williamson later made
them feel a little more resigned to
the inevitable.
Williamson himself took the situc
ation in good spirit and said:
