During the first year of its operations the plant has been very successful and has quickly come to be an important industrial asset for 1 Some of the new machinery (all of the machinery in the plant is new) with which the increased production is to be brought about is now ar- riving ang is to continue to come in for some time.

It is stated that the company may build another mill at Williamsville ‘within a year. SMBLEY VS, STATE.

Sibley, as the result of an accident that occurred while he was ed in the discharge of the duties of his of- fice. The brief contains an interest cas d in relation to the question of the sher- iff having been an employe of th state under the terms of the compen- sation act and as to whether he was a state or county officer. Excerpts from the brief follow: : The sheriff as a state officer—The term “state officer” as here used should not be confounded with like words as ithey -appear in the opinion of the coufts in discussing the question whether a person for certain purposes is an officer or an emplove. In the Employ of the State. It would seem that there can be no doubt that a sheriff is in the employ of the state because “state officers are those whose duties coneern the state at large or the general public, although exercised within definite limits and to whom are delegated the exercise of a portion of the Sovereign power of the state.” The above definition completely de- scribes and defines the position of sheriff in the state of Connecticut. His duties, although exercised within the definite limits of the county, con- cern the state at large and to him is delegated the exercise of a portion of the sovereign power of the state. Upon the question of whether the sheriffs position is a state position, the opinion of the governor of Rhode Island by the supreme court justices of that state in the Newport police commission matter is quoted, that opinion setting up “the distinction rec- ognized in all of them is between offi- cers whose duties are wholly of a lo- cal nature and officers appointed for a particular locality, but vet whose du- ties are of a general or public nature. When they are of the latter character, they are state officers, whether the legislature itself makes the appoint- ment or delegates its authority to the municipality.” Definition of Employer. Passing on to the next question, which is, “Is the state of Connecticut an employer in the case under consid- eration?” no one need go further than the gefinition of employer in the work- men’s compensation law of Connecti- cut, section 43, where, eliminating ir- relévant material for the purpose of this cade, it defines “employer” as fol- lows: “Employer shall mean—tne state and any public corporation within the state using the services of another for pay.” Now it cannot be denied that the state of® Connecticut used the services of its sheriff for pay and it comes wholly and entirely within the definition of employer in said section 43, Employe Defined. i “Emplove” is likewise defined in the workmen's compensation act as fol- lows: “Employe shall mean any per- son who has entered into or works under any contract of service or ap- prenticeship with an employer.” “A ‘Person Under Any Contract.” It will be argued by opposing inter- ests that a sheriff is not under con- tract with his employer, and numer- ous® cases doubtless will be cited to sustain that .position, but these de- cisions are mot illuminating upon the subject under consideration, for they are rendered in connection with cases other than workmen's compensation cases. It will be observed that the {definition in the Connecticut compen- sation act is a person under any oon- tract. The definitions of an employer and of an employe must be read together and harmonize. An employer pre- supposes an employe and vice versa. It is absurd to assume that a man is acting in the role of employer and yet has no one whom he employs. Un- der the definition of ‘“employer” as used in the act, if the state used the services of Sherift Sibley for pay, it was his employer and the sheriff its employe; consequently a person whose services are being used for pay must necessarily be working under a con- tract of service within the definition of employe, Any other definition would render the last definition an absurd- Intent of Compensation Act. The intent and spirit of the Con- necticut Workmen’s Compensation act is to provide aid, during disability, for the injured and assistance for the de- pendents in case of death. The in- Jured employe who happens to have his employment through a quasi-con- tract in connection with a public of- fice needs the compensation just as much as the injured emplove who has his contract apart from a public office and the same is true of the dependents of employes whose employment comes through public offices.

In view of the annual meeting of the Putnam Savings bank to be held | Monday the state bank commisston- ers have sent the following communi- cation to each of the seventgen incor- porators, together with a report of the condition of the bank on July 2, 1914: Commissioners’ Communication. To the Corporators of the Putnam Savings Bank: ‘The Bank Commissioners of Con- necticut understand that you are to have the annual meeting of your wank on Monday, July 20th, 1914. The con- ditlon of the Putnam Savings bank and matters pertaining thereto have caused the banking department of the anxiety. Some few days ago it was suggested that each and every cor- porator be shown by the bank officials the true condition of the bank as of some date in July after the July ac- cumulations of interest and income had been received. The bank's officials in cooperation with their attorneys agreed to do this and selected Ralph W. Cutler, presi- dent of the Hartford Trust company, Ferdinand Richter, of Hartford, head of one of the most respected brokerage ! firms in Connecticut, and H. L. Beadle | of the Society of Savings, Hartford, to make an appraisal of the bank's as- | sets, the expense of said appraisal be borne by the bank. said appraisal to by the zald appraisers selected by your own officials and attorneys, the showing is as set forth in the enclosed statement of conditions, and you will notice that the surpluis and interest accounts have been wholly wiped out and that there is a deficiency or pairment” of $110,892.68. = The bank commissioners sincerely regret the ne- cessity of calling your attention to the conditions as they exist. to Based upon the | made and subscribed | im- | But each | and every ome of you has a serious | responstbility to perform out the salvation of vour bank; and we have insisted that a true statement be made for you that you may truly understand this duty and responsibil- ity which lies before you and thereby be the letter able to assume and per- form the same . 2 At the present date, according to the appraisal made by your appraisers for you, the bank is not solvent. It is to be hoped that the bank’s assets may increase in walue. but during the last few -months they have decreased rather than increased in value on ac- count of the depreciation of certain issues of bonds and possibly other reasons.
