Bozrah and Norwich Men Were the Claimants. An award for payment of $5 per week from May 17 to June 28 and sub- ject to future modification was made by Compensation Commissioner Dr. James J. Donohue in the case of Clar- ence Lathrop of Bozrah, claimant against Palmer Bros. of Fitchville, by whom he wes employed. The hearing on_the case was held on June 28, 1915. On_May 15, 1914, Mr. Lathrop re- ceived injuries consisting of internal injurles and sprain, while he was in the employ of Palmer Bros. at the average weekly wage of $8.51. Under an agreement made the emplovers had paid_the employe $5 weekly from May 30, 1914, to May 16, 1915, when the payments had Deen stopped, as the employers considered that disability had ended. At the hearing the claimant stated that he did not consider himself able to return to his work and put in full time, and it was suggested that some lighter work be found for him to do in which the claimant could have op- portunity to_demonstrate his capacity for work. It was further suggested that & new agreement might be ef- fected at a later date on a partial dis- ability basis. In _the case of James Quinn of No. 93 Fourth Street, this city, against Archibald Torrante, employer, it is ad- judged that the employer pay _the glaimant $30 for three weeks from May 3. 1915. At the hearing before the commis- sioner on June 28 the claimant did not appear, but sent word he had returned to- work and was intending to see if he could continue at work and if so no future claim for compensation would be mede. While in the employ of Mr. Torrance on Aug. 8, 1914, at Plainfleld, Mr. Quinn received an injury to his’spine. An agreement was made, approved by the - compensation commissioner, that Mr. Quinn, whose average weekly wages were $24.20, should be paid $10 weekly from Aug. 23, 1914, and pay- ments on this basis Were made up to May 22, 1915, Dr. Patrick Cassidy was present at the hearing to testify to the present physical condition of Mr. Quinn, but owing to the fact that the clafmant had returned to work, and the respon- dent had agreed to the terms suggest- ed hy the commissioner, the matter was adjusted by the agreement for three weeks' more compensation pay as already mentioned. An_important meeting of the -Ttal- fan Cabinet was held in Rome. FLESHBUILDER £0ld by Lee & giz Norw Dru ore, "Willlmentlc, and leading’ dr\l%ghu“cm?‘mm ive guarantes of w. Ancreass money” back.

Town Meeting Decides Against Plan— Town Too-Poor Just Now. The town .meeting In East Lyme held Tuesday to consider erection of a schoolhouse at a cost of approxi- mately $12,000, came to naught, as a strong sentiment in opposition to the project_developed an A. was Beckwith, who presided, without ac- tionbeing taken.

Where Member of Board of Examiners Has Become Insane. . Attorney General George E. Hinman has given an opinion at the request of Dr. Joseph H. Townsend, secretary of the state board of health, who asked if an appointemnt could be made to fill the place of a member on a state board of examiners who had become “yiolently and hopelessly insane.” The finding follows: You state that a member of a state board of examiners has become vio- lently and hopelessly insane and the state board of health has been re- quested tby saild board of examiners to make an appointment to fill the un- expired term o fsaid member, ang you ask my opinion as to the duty of your board under the circumstances. Section 2 of Chapter 236 of the Public Acts of 1913, contains a_pro- vision tkat “vacancies in said board of examiners shail be filled by the state board of health,” and there is no general statutory provision affecting - SCREEN DOORS ELECTRIC IRONS SPARK COILS FISHING TACKLE WATER PAILS RAKES : THERMOS BOTTLES CROQUET SETS ICE CREAM FREEZERS BOAT HARDWARE vacancies in offices filled by appaint- ment of the state board of health. Since the word “vacancy” is used in this staute without words of limita- tion such as “by resignation, removal,” etc., it is to be considered as cover- ing’ any vacancy, however arising. Therefore the only question is wheth- er the ‘circumsances of the present case create a vacancy, The word “vacancy” as applied to an existing office without an incum- bent is vacant. There is no basis for the distinction that ¥t applies only to an office vacated by death, resigna- tion, or otheesise. An office is vacant when empty and unoccupied and not vacant when one is authorized to act in it and is so acting. “Vacancy” is defined as a post or place unfilled; an unoccupied- position. Therefore, I am of the opinion that if the state board of health is satis- fineq that the incumbent in question is incurably insane, it will be justified in holding that a vacancy exists and making an appointment to fill the same. Section 2 of. Chapter 236 of. the Pub- lic Acts of 1913 provide for “an ex- amining board to be known as the Connecticut state board of examiners in optometry, consisting of five regu- lar optometrists.
