INTERIOR FINISH AT SANATO Work Progressing in Administration Bmldmg on Two Upper Floors—Flooring Laid in West Incipient Ward—Superin- tendent Campbell Has Made Some Appointments On Staff. Dr. Hugh B. Campbell, superintend- ent for the New London county state tuberculosis sanatorium, was here on Friday evening for his weekly inspec- tion trip. In another two weeks it is probable that:the doctor will take up his ‘residence here in anmticipation of the opening of the sanatorium, which is now set for the first of February. { uperintendent Campbell intends to send out invitations to all the medical men of the surrounding territory as soon.as he can be certain about a date when he can invite them to the home for an inspection of it. This is to be followed by a publie receptior day for inspeetion, when Commissioner Gun- shannon will be here and make an ad- drepe. Superintendent Campbell found that the work is progressing on the laying of floors in the administration building and in the west incipient ward, which is the men's ward.

Quo Warranto Proceedings Brought by Dr. Chappell Withdrawn. On Friday the case of Dr. Wilbur A. Chappell vs. Dr. Dennis J. Shahan, quo warranto proceedings, was with- drawn by Attorney John H. Barnes, counsel for the plaintiff. Friday was the day set for the hearing before ; Judge Shumway. There was a eonfer- ence between Attorney Barnes, State's Attorney Hadlal A. Hull, ex-Mayor Costello Lippitt, ex-City Clerk A. G. Crowell and ex-City Sheriff George W. Rouse. At this conference it was stated that at the meeting of the court of commen couneil July 6, 1908, the council veted unanimously for Dr. Chappell as milk inspector, an office which at that time carried no salary, and only $50 for milk testing appara- tus. It was the understanding at this time that ex-Mayor Costello Lippitt presented the name of Dr. Chappell for confirmation in the office, but instead he stated that he had meant for the matter to be decided by the court of cammen council, Thus as it was shown that the mayor actually had no part in the appointment of Dr. Chappell it was decided to withdraw the case. Since the appointment of Dr. Sha- han as milk inspector by Maver Mur- phy June 13, 1912, an appointment now shown to be entirely legal, Dr. Chap= pell has been inspecting milk in the belief that he would be upheld in his claim to the office, which now carries a salary of $1,000.
