Fire Ins, Co. Attached to Organization, Makes Fine Showmy, Norwich, Jan. 10.—Upon resum- ing sitting the state grange today heard; the reports on business trans- acted by the Patrons’ Mutual Fire In- surance company, which s supported by grange members. The excellence of the reports had been forecast by Grand Master Davis who said in his annual address that the company “was never on so good a financial and business basis.” He added that in neighboring - states insurance has reached enormous proportions and is the means of saving much to all those who participate in its business. He thought the Patrons’ should carry ten times the number of risks it has. The insurance report wa- submit- ted by H. C. Dunham, and that of the Patrons’ exchange by H. G Man- chester. WANT STATUE LIGHTED. Board of Public Works Receive Peti- tion to Continuc Tumination. M. H.

During the time that the statue was illuminated, much favorable comment was heard about the city, and it was the concensus of opinion that the light should be left there. Tt has been removed however. Through the ener- getic work of the sub-committee named to raise funds for the Christ- mas tree a sum of about $25 remains from the celebration. of the LICENSE IS SUSPENDED, Following a hearing before Secre- tary of State Perry yesterday the au- tomobile operator's license held by Harry Johnson of 4 Highland street was suspended for ten days.

(LAWYERS SEEMTO ' FAVOR AMENDMENT, City Court Wlll Likely Be Given | Unlimited Jurisdiction The charter amendment proposed by the charter revision committee and referred to the lawyers' fraternity committee, which provides for the es- tablishment of a court of unlimited Jjurisdiction, principally in order that aliens may be naturalized in New Britain without having to go to Hart- ford at an added expense, will not meet with opposition from the local lawyers, according to the statements of members of the lawyers’ commit- tees. Some Against, More in Favor. The Jawyers fraternity committee is composed of several prominent attor- | neys and to them is relegated the duty : of preparing proposed charter changes that would effect the city court. Because they are more fa- | miliar with needs of the city court : and as it would effect them most, the | charter revision committee referred to them the draft of their proposed amondment of unlimited jurisdiction. Although a few of the lawyers have expressed themselves as opposed to this change, the majority speak in fevor of it. Those in opposition claim that it would not be to their best interests to bring a suit of $10,- 000 or some other large amount making it returnable before the local court where all principals are possibly more or less well known. In case of objection on the part of any parties to a suit about having it returnable before the city court the opposing lawyers claim it would be embaras ing to ask for a change of venue. In the opinion of a majority of the lawyers, however, the raising of the city court to a court of unlimited Jjurisdiction would be a good thing and they feel that New Britain is just as capable of handling such an insti- tution as is' Meriden, where one is in vogue. By raising the status of the city court aliens could be naturalized right here at home, but their exam- inations would be just as rigid and none would be naturalized who were not qualified. Also it is pointed out that should any lawyer wish to make his suit returnable before the court of common pleas or the superior court he would have that right. The general opinion among the legal fra- ternity seems to be that by giving the local court unlimited jurisdiction, that is giving the court the power to sit in judgment on cases involving any amount, their own work would be made easier. Their frequent, tire- some trips to Hartford would be elim- inated and they say they feel sure of just as judicial and fair treatment here as in Hartford. ‘Would Limit Appeals. The lawyers' fraternity committee at a recent meeting expressed them- selves as being decldedly in favor of this proposed amendment, They also went further and indicated a desire to limit the appeals from the city court. They feel that it is wrong to permit an appeal to the higher court in cases involving $100 or less, yet it is now permissable. At present the city court has jurisdiction in civil cases in which the amount involved is $500 or less. Cases of a greater amount have to go either to the court of common pleas or the superior court. With a court of unlimited jur- isdiction here all cases could be tried. U. OF P. BOARD. Trustees Will Be Chosen By Vote of Alumni in Future.
