The Connectiout gen- tutes fortunately give us lght | matter and define the phrase bullding' as used in the 8 follows “The term ‘publie bullding' shall | inelude & statehouse, courthouse, townhouse, arsenal, magazine, prison, Jall, workhouse, poorhouse, market or | other bullding belonging to the state, or to any county, town, eity or bor- ough in the state, and to any church, chapel, meeting house or other build ing generally used for religlous wor- ship, and any college, academy, sehool | house or other building generally used { for literary instruction, Conneeticut | statutes revision 1018, seetion 6721 “This definition In the general statutes of the expremion most likely | explains the failure of the legislature to define the phrase in the particular | statute of 1923, as it was already by | law defined. | 1f, notwithstanding the above| statutory definition of ‘public bulld- ings' there romains any ambiguity, then the general rules of construction Wwhich are also the Connecticut rules will apply, viz: a penal atatute is to be strictly construed; one will not be held llable on doubtful constructio 80 & statute in derogation of private rights will be construed strictly | Against the state in favor of the ac-| cused; usual and natural meanings of | words are ordinarily followed. | “I might add that from the sub. Ject matter and the way it is treated, the history of legislation on the mat-| ter and from the context it seems that | the words ‘public buildings' mean buildings owned by the state or its pelitical sub-divisions or bulldings which gre devoted to public uses and in whele or in part financlally sup-| ported by the state or the city and controlled in whole or in part direct- ly by the state or city authorities, Church 1s Public Building [ “It is therefore my opinion that the| only bulldings in New Britain that! are within the statute are the bulld- ings owned by the state and the city, churches and other bulldings gener-| ally used for religious worship and any college, academy, schoolhouse or| other building generally used for lit- erary instruction., If there are any other bulldings within the prohibition of the statute, they are public build- ings of a similar kind to those above mentioned, such as may be owned or controlled and held by public authori- ties for public uses. “It will be seen therefore that the statute is comparatively harmless and that observance of the law will create comparatively little confusion, an- noyance and damage to the general public, which is operating on so-called ‘daylight saving time', particularly if the clocks on the churches are stopped as they now are, “If the constitutionality of the law, or the meaning of, the words ‘public buildings' are to ‘\e tested, I think this should be done by some -person or persons other than the city, for the reason that the city is u sub-division of the state and 1s incorporated by the state and the court might rule the city out of court on the ground, without passing on the constitution- ality of the act. If a test case {s ar- ranged, it would probably be at least six months before a decision could be obtained from the supreme court. “The scope of the law being so limited, it does not seem worth while to attack its valldity, as the people| cof New Britain are at perfect llbertyl‘ to run their clocks and watches on daylight savgmg time in their offices, houses and places of business. “Respectfully submitted, | “JOHN H.

It has been found in other cities that the use or occupation of bulldings has been divided into three large districts, Residential, commer- clal and unrestricted, “This survey can be consummated by the cooperation of the city plan- ning commission, city engineering de- partment, bullding commission and board of assessors, if so directed. “Our residential and commerelal | sections are at the present time mixed !into a heterogeneous mass of buildings | These sections have at present no pre- determined allocation of growth and [the result to the prospective home /builder s the poesibility of any type | of building being erected adjacent to kim, “A zoning ordinance will unques- tionably predetermine the nature of butldings which will be built in the future and it will, therefore, stabil- |1ze realty values eliminating much | undue inflation. “This city has grown to such an extent that we believe it {s impera- {tive to take action at once, What | few residential sections we have left should certainly be preserved, - 'and we have had the experience of see- ing good residential sections spoiled by the encroachment of inferior commercial developments, Commer- | cial detelopment should only be en- couraged along the main arteries of travel and should be discouraged from encroaching into side streets | adjacent to them, “Thought should be given to the subdivision of a residential section into two or more parts; namely, a one and two family division and a | multi-family diviston. : “Our manufacturing sections, or as ordinarily called the unrestricted sec- tion, should likewise be considered for i the protection of manufacturing in- terests in order that they may cx- pand without the future excessive cost in purchasing residential properties. “Home builders and certain com- mercial enterprises should be dis- couraged from developing in a unre- | stricted sectfon. At the present time there are many undesirable garages, | small stores, small manufacturing en- terprises which are being erected at random throughout the city, and { which naturally causes citizens to ex- press concern as to the safety of in- vestment in property. The under- signed, therefore, respectfully request | |into the advisability of establishing a zoning ordinance in this city with an estimate as to the cost perfecting such an ordinance, together with recom- mendations as to enforcement commission having jurisdiction of the same, and that a report be made by the aforesaid commission at the Oec- tober meeting of the common council on the foregoing subject. “We deeply appreciate all that the city planning commission has done, both as a whole and individually for the city in numeérous ways, and we feel that the commission at this time will give this matter deep considera- tion for hoth present and future growth of New Britain.” WORKMAN FOUND DEAD AT PLANT OF STANLEY RULE G0, Heat or Electrocution Responsible, Dr. Lyon says—Autopsy Will Prob- ably Be Performed.

By The Astociated Press. Southampton, June 20.—The White Star liner Olympic sailed today for New York with wine stocks aboard for her return journey placed in a special storeroom with four seals of the British customs service on the door.

If the American authorities do not break the seals and confiscate the stocks the ship's offi- clals will open the store after the vese sel has passed the three mile limit on her return voyage. The Olympic is the first vessel adopt this procedure.
