oy Louis Cella Cited to Appear Before Utilities Commission at Hartford to Defend CI aim to Property—Exhibit of Carl J. Nordell’s Pictures—Turkey Secrets Disclosed by Horade Vose—Caledonian From a citation Issued to Louis Cella of Pawcatuck, to appear before the public utilitles commission in Hartford today (Thursday), it is 2vi- dent that he is the only person claim- ing ownership of property in the tLwn of Stonington, who has not agreed with the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rallroad Co., as to the dis- position of land required for changes in the layout of tracks in conneclion with the railroad improvements in progress in Westerly. Mr. Cella ac- companied by his attorney, Judge Her- bert W. Rathbun, will appear befor the commission at the hearing to he held in the state capitol upon puti- tion brought by the rallroad comrany for the acquirement of the Cella prop- erty, so that the plans arranged can be carried to completion. The property is located in Mechan- {ic street, close to the abutment of the ‘West Broad street bridge, upon the sfte of the old one-story building tkat was designated as the “City hall” About two years ago the old building was razed and Mr. Cella erected the present two-story frame st ture on the site. Before this building wnas completed, men representing the rail- road company entered the buildiug. went to the cellar and commenced tearing away the foundation, eclean- ing the property was owned by the railroad company. Mr bring legal action in the matser, and thereby becoming plaintiff in the case, but by direction of Attorney Rathbun and by his assistance and the help of Deputy Sheriff William H. Casey, the rajlroad workmen and the boss of the Jjob were ejected from the premises by force, On_the same day the New London law firm of Hull, MecGuire & Hull, came to Westcrl and to Pawcatuck, and served nni on Mr, Cella that the railroad ccra- pany owned the property and warned ! Mr. Cella from the premises, Th e | claim was made that when the rail- road was surveyad and laid out :n| 1835, the land purchased direct cr 'hrm!gh condemnation proceedings in- cluded the property in dispute. Judge Rathbun advised Mr. to retain possession of the propcrty, as for more than half a century no one questioned the personal own ship of the property. He argued t! property held for twenty-five years or even fifteen years gave title to property fully as binding as pa title. Title of ihe property by i Cella’s predecessors in ownership wa traced back to 1800 or thirty beyond the alleged title of the rai!- road company In this r ect, how ever, the same application is not n.ade to railroad companies as to individ- uals, and therefore was questioned Thereupon suit was brought by the raflroad company against Mr. (e as to the ownership of the prope and, as plaintiff, the company s quired to prove claim of own This case {8 pending in the st court, and Attorney Rathbun could not readlly understand the new move of the members of the railroad company in bringing the ! case to the public utilitles commission while it {s yet in the superior court.
