[~] NEW BRITAIN HERALD [=r-#] - POLIGEMAN HURT, IS AWARDED §130 Gity Court Finding in Harper's Suit for $5,000 The sum of $150 was awarded Motoreyele Policeman Louis E. Har- per in his suit for $5.000 against Joseph Pavano, according to a de- cision handed down in city court to- day by Judge Henry P. Roche. The action was the result of a collision between an automobile driven by the defendant and a motorcycle op- | which hap- | erated by the ofticer, pened August 11, 192 street. During the trial it was revealed that Officer Harper was riding ve hind the automobile and according 7 on Franklin to his testimony the defendant ap- | peared to be about to park the car opposite a house at 26 Franklin street, when he suddenly turned to the the yard in the rear of the house without giving any warning of his| intention. As a result Officer Har- per's motoreycle struck the left side of the machine, throwing him to the ground. The defendant however testified that he did not see anypne in the rear as he looked through the back window and through the driver's mirror. Allegations were made at the time of the trial by the counsel for the plaintiff that the | defendant was engaged in illegal business, while Judge William F. Mangan, counsel for the defense. came hack strongly in the argument stating at the time that Officer Har- per had trailed the car and was in | such a position is practiced by traffic officers and unable to be seen by the driver. He also brought out | the fact that the plaintiff on several occasions previous to the aceident saw tha defendant turn driveway at 26 Franklin street and knew on that particular day that the defendant would most likely make the same turn. Judge Roche made his decision on the following findings: “The plaintiff is a motorcycle po- liceman of the city of New Britain and was following a car owned by | one Gibilisco and driven by the de- fendant Pavano. The car turned to- ward the right hand curb and then started to turn into a drivewav on he left hand side and struck the laintiff’s motorcyele, overturned it Bnd the plaintitf was thrown off, his left arm was broken and he off | duty as a result for 66 days, and the city paid the plaintiff's wages and medical expenses under workingmen’s compensation lay “Pavano testified that before turn- ing he gave no signal but looked around and saw no one and started to make the turn when the collision oconrred. “It is claimed hy the that the plaintiff knew that the de- fendant often turned into the drive- way and should have signalled to him, before he attempted to pass. “Thers is no evidence of any at- tempt by the plaintiff to pass the car “Chapter 334 Public Acts amended, and Connecticut motor vehicle laws, page 21, section & makes provision as to what the duty of the operator of a motor vehicle who intends to turn is, as follows: as *Every driver of a vehicle before slackening its speed, stopping or backing, shall indicate by signal his Intention to slacken its speed. or to left in an effort to drive into | into the | the | defendant | 1921 as | stop or to back, and if he intends to turn or change his direction, he shall indicate the direction, in which he intends to proceed.’ “The driver in this case gave no signal as required by the statutory rule and the effort of his act is stated by the supreme court: “‘One who \violates a statutery rule of the road is negligent and in absence of contributory negligence, is liable for any damages or injury proximately caused thereby. The lation and control require plain and positive directions as to what each person shall himself do and may ex- pect of others; therefore, a definite standard of conduct fixed by the general assembly, however arbituary it may be, cannot be subjected to exceptions based upon individual wdement, or be made to depend on whatever a court or jury regards as reasonable its application to a given situation.” Here the court cites the |case of Murphy vs. Way, 107 Conn. 1634 | The judge further finds that, “Pavano gave no signal either of his |intention to slow down or stop, or of his intention to turn and is there- |fore guilty of negligence “There is no evidence that any |act or omission on the part of Har- per contributed proximately to the collision. therefore the | Pavano is liable for the damage “As to the defendant Cocomo, |there is not sufficient evidence of | his interest or ownership in the car to prove it by a fair preponderance |of the evidence “The defendant Gibilisco was the |owner of the car and was not op- erating it, or was it being operated |under his direction, nor was there {any evidence that Coromo had gen- lerat authority to use it, or was about the business of Gibilisco | “The owner cannot be liable for the car's negligent operation by an- other unless it is shown that such jother was his agent and acting within the scope of his authority, “The plaintift cites the case Stickney vs Enstein 100 Conn in support of bilisco, but that case held that the owner of a motor car maintained for the general use and convenience of his family, is liable under the {common law of this state, for the negligence of a member of his fam- ily who has general authority to | of 171, (drive it while the car is heing used | |as a "n\yvh ecar. “Nene of the conditions {proved in the present case, | “As to the damage |amounts expended by the city were $101.79 for medical and hospital [treatment and $546.50 for wages, a total of $448.2a \ “Dr. Flannagan testificd that be- canse of the manner of treatment there was considerable pain and dis- leomfart that there was no permanent djs- ability. Tt would seem that $200 {would be ample compensation for this “I'nder Public Acts 1927, chapter 304, the Jndgment is for the de- fendants Cocomo and Gibiliseo and the city of New Britain to recover $101.79 from the defendant Pavano | and 850 counsel fee, and for the | plaintift Harper to recover $150 of | the defendant Pavano.* are the actnal LOST THAT RACE Nebraska City, Neb.,, Aug 7(UP)— Racing with another car along a side |street may seem a harmiess bit of jiun, but it cost “Brick™” Dunn of this | city 10 and costs in police court re- cently.

REPORT FINDING AN OLD INGA CITY No White Man Has Ever Set Foot There Lima, Pern, Aug. 7 (A—Discovery {of an Inca City where no white iman is ever known to have set foot i3 reported in a telegram from the prefect of the department of Cuzco to President Leguia. The lost city was discovered accidentally by a sei- jentific expedition exploring the town of Macchupiccho which was found 16 years ago by a group of Peru- ivian and American scientists. The Ipresent expedition was organized by the Cuzco authorities under the pat- ronage of President Leguia. One of the explorers was in place called gatihuatana which was an Inca astronomical observatory: From one of the windows of the room he saw with a pair of binocu- lars on the top of Huainapiccho mountain the walls and platforms of another town, the existence of which was not known. It was thought probable that no white. man had ever set foot there since the moun- itain is surrounded by a deep ravine |and its sides appeared to be ex- tremely steep for scaling without |careful preparations.

At least two more are expected. Rear Admiral W. A, Moffitt, chief of the naval bureau of aero- nautics, is president of the board. The bids may require considerable study and several weeks are expect. ed to elapse before the awards are made. Two Interested Although no official announce- ment has been made as to what con- cerns subhitted the bids, it is known that the Goodyear Zeppelin com- pany of Akron. O, and the Ameri- can Brown-Boverin Electric corpor- ation of Camden, N. J., have made a study of the specifications. It is understood that the Zeppelin inter- ests of Germany submitted a bid, in view of the fact that they have con- structed more than 100 dirigibles. Congress authorized the expendi- ture of $8.000,000 for the two dir- = igibles, with next year. The legislation provided that con- struction of the second airship could be cancelled, it circumstances changed, and that in this event, not more than $5.500,000 should be ex- pended on one ship. Under the specifications the air- ships must be complete in detail and have passed a speed test of 72 knots an hour before being accept- ed by the navy .The length is lim- ited to 755 feet and the height to 155 feet, with th width not in excess of 137 feet. The gas containers must be separate and fitted to hold either helium or hydrogen, or a combina- tion of the two. A capacious control car, quarters for 12 officers and a crew of 30 men, {a photographic labratory and ac- |commodations for cooking, are re- quired by the specifications. The ves- $2,000,000 available omm oney sel can be powered with not less than four nor more than eight en. gines and must have radio and all other modern airship equipment. It has not been established wheth. er provision is to be made for carry- ing airplanes, but it is known that considerable thought has been given to this proposal. , CAW HAZARDS Crowell, Tex., Aug 7 (UP)—Field guns may be added to the equip- ment of local golfers.
