News of the World By Associated Press ESTABLISHED 1870 N f SUPREME COURT DECISION ON USE OF WILLOW BROOK MAY COST CITY HEAVILY nciontBeSug SPECIAL SESSON Restraining Munici pality From Continu- ing Storm Water Menace. Justices Unanimous in Ruling in Favor of Don- nelly Brick Co.,, Which Sued for Flood Damage. Following announcement that the supreme court of errors has direct- ed a new trial in the actlon brought by the Donnelly Brick Co. agalnst the City of New Britain for pollu- tion of & cl~y-pit, Attorney Donald Gaffney, counsel for the company sald today an injunction will be sought to restrain the city from using Willow Brook to carry oft storm water sewage in the future. It this petition is granted import- ant changes in the sewerage Byster will result, the cost of which will probably be much in excess of the $20,000 damages sought in the or- iginal suit and denied. The case came before the supreme court of appeal by Attorney Gaffney from the refusal of Superior Court Judge Banks to set aside the jury’s finding and order a new trial. Chief Justice George W. Wheeler, in sum- ming up the appeal, declared the evidence to prove conclusively that the city, by dumping its sewage into the brook, had caused overflows and that in the flood season of April, 1924, brook flowed into the Don- nelly clay-pits causing damage. Judge Wheeler's opinion states the jury could not reasonably have de- nied the plaintiff nominal damages. In the opinion of Justice Wheeler the defense that floods caused l.ht:i therefore an damage and it was “act of God,” is not found due to the presence of sewage in the brook, taxing it beyond its normal capacity. The supreme court finding fol- lows: “The plaintiff's cause of action is founded upon the pollution of Wil- low Brook and upon the increase of the earrying capacity of the Brook beyond its capacity, by the defendant city. The part of the appeal which is properly before us is from the denial of the motion to set aside the verdict and in certain instructions given the jury. We take up first the refusal of the trial court to set aside thé verdict with especial ref- erence to the cause of action found- ed upon the pollution of Willow Brook. As we read the evidence we are of the opinion that the jury must reasonably have found these facts: The defendant is engaged in the manufacture of brick and its plant occupies about seventy acres on which are kilns, machine rooms, boller rooms, homes for workers, in- dustrial railways and other neces- sary equipment for a brick yard and it employs about sixty men. Its land is low and flat, through it flows in a southeasterly direction Willow Brook which enters plaintiff’s prop- erty through a rallroad culvert un- der the New DBritain-Berlin branch of the New York, N. H. & H. R. R. which is ordinarily about twenty-five feet in width and one or two feet in depth. To the north and west of the railroad culvert is the South End park owned by the City of New Brit- ain and through which flows this brook and thence through the cul- vert to and through plaintiff's land. “Willow Brook prior to 1923 had been divided on the west side of this rallroad line into two branches, ubout one-third of the water flowing in a stream along the west side of the railroad tracks and thence in a southerly direction. In 1923, New Britain raised the land of the park which before would be covered with water from the overflow of the brook in times of periodic flood. At the same time it straightened the course of the brook and deepened its bed at the culvert from two and seven- tenths feet to three fcet. As a result the flow of the waters of the brook along the west side of this branch line to the south was cut off and al- most all the water of the brook caused to flow under the culvert and through or upon the plaintiff’s land. The principal source of Willow Drook is Lake Shuttle Meadow Reservoir, a large artificial reservoir of New Britain, It draws its water from four principal sources; the much larger water shed of these sources are foreign to this brook. “There was no rainfall from April 1 to April 5, 1924, yet because of the water pricipally from foreign water- sheds the Lake Shuttle Meadow regervoir rose to 24 feet, 10 inches. | When the water rose to 24 feet a 6 inch flash board was put on the (Continued on Page 8.)

It was recalled at the ‘White House also that congression- al leaders usually like to quit early on election years. So far as legislation is concerned Mr. Coolidge believes it will take years to carry out the flood preven- tion program. If called it is believed the special session would be proba- bly for the middle of October or the first of November. LONGMEADOW TRAGEDY 18 BE INVESTIGATED Four Dead, Five Hurt When Trolley Crashes Into Loaded Sedan Longmeadow, Mass., June 7 (UP) —Kour persons were killed and fiv others more or less seriously injured here during the night when the au- tomobile in which they were riding was in collision with a Springficld trolley car.

NOW HAS BULK OF SCHOOL POLICIES Agency List and Amount Carried By Each to Be Reported to Common Council—Fault Found With Al- i i ll.‘ged_ ‘Weaknesses In Protection For School Buildings — Two In- creases to Be Favored. : | The ghost of the controversy that was aroused about a year ago over the placing of approximately $1,500,- 000 in fire insurance on new school buildings with the Commercial Co., stalked through the city court room last night when the special commit- | tee having charge of the check-up of fire insurance in effect on munici- pal property, including that of the school department, went on record in favor of a redistribution of the . insurance on city property ‘“on a more equitable basis,” according to | Councilman W. D. Boyle, chairman ‘of the committee. The committee jalso voted to include in the report to the common council, a list of the amount of insurance in effect on city | property and the agencies through which it is placed. After having held several meetings 1t which policies were ex !insurance conditions discussed in | their application to the municipal- |ity, the committee last evening con- {sidered recommendations for action ’by the council at the meeting Wed- | nesday evening, June 15. Council- man W. S. Warner favored reporting the agency list and the amount of insurance placed by each, and offer- ed & motion to this effect, but Coun- ‘;vilmnn Cooper and Harry G. Han- cock were opposed. Boyle said this should be a featurs of the report as it is information that many citizens have indicated !they would like to obtain. “If thc icity has nothing to he ashamed of lin this respect, why not show the ilist?” he inquired. When the vote !was taken, William G. Dunn, Milton |D. Jones and Councilman Warner | | {posed. The motion prevailed. There was a discussion of the ad- visability of making a recommenda- tion that a committee of insurance underwriters supervise the placing advisable to do so and the matter was dropped, only to bring about consideration of a recommendation to have the insurance redistributed. Councilman Cooper said he believed the school deparment insurance pointing out that vacancy permits were not attached to some policies and, in others, motion picture equip- ment permits were absent. Mr. Hancock said he understood that speclal permission had been given to leave the motion picture permits off in view of the fact that equipment was not in use, Councilman Cooper said he could see no particular benefit in recom- mending a redistribution. The Com- mercial Co. has the bulk of the in- surance but he understood that the matter had been gone into thor- oughly and the school board had decided that the company’s repre- ness because of the great amount of time he had given to working up the plan. Mr. Hancock, Mr. Dunn and Councilman Warner disputed the claim that the Commercial Co.'s rep- resentative originated the plan. Mr. Dunn said he would not favor a movement to disturb policies in ef- feet at the present time, but he be- lieved there should be a redistribu- tion of the school insurance relative to expirations and new business. The committee discussed the prob- able effect of such a recommenda- tion, and it was pointed out that in the event that the common council approved the request for a redistri- bution, the committee or any other committee would be entirely with- out power to force action. The school board could refuse to pay any committee could do would be to re- of the board. Mr. Hancock said he felt that the report to the council should not in- clude the agents’ list but if the com- mittee was to go part way, it should go the entire distance and he {moved that the recommendation be made for power to request the re- distribution of the insurance. The motion was adopted unanimously. Although the report of the com- mittee will not be completed for a few days, it is understood that only slight changes in the amount of fire insurance in effect will be recom- mended, the largest proposed in- creases decided being from $2,500 to $12,000 on the electrical apparatus in the Elm street headquarters and from $10,000 to $30,000 on the fire and police building on Commercial reet, Trans-Atlantic Phone Is Held for Chamberlin Tempelhofer Field, June 7 (®— One of the first messages conveyed to ence D.
