Burnap of Norwich Against the board of water commis- sioners of the city of Norwich to test the validity_ of their action in abolish- ing the office of superintendent of the water department, which he held up to June 28th, this year, was heard before Judge Joel H. Reed of the superior court at-his office in Stafford Springs Thursday. , In 1917 the _legislature passed an act giving the water board power to appoint a superintendent and fixing the salary of said official at $1,800 per year. At a meeting of the board on June ‘28 1918, a resolution was adopted abolishing the office of superintendent. The of the president, who had been receiving 3300 a year for his services, was then in- creased to $1,700 and a reselution of the court of common council passed in 1871 showing the duties of the presi- dent to be in general those of the superintendent was frequently referred to by Corporation Counsel Joseph T. Fanning, who_represénted Walter W. Lang, the respondent, who is also president of the water board. Mr. Burnap brings his appeal on the grounds that the action taken was not i good faith to abolish the office, but was - intended simply to remove the superintendent, * while the answer of the water board to this is that they acted in a lezal way and with honest motives and were not merely aiming to get at Mr. Burnap. s Edwin S. Burnap was the first wit- ness called. He said that he had been connected with the water department since 1908 as superintendent with the exception of a period when the admin- istration was of opposite political faith. Up to 1917 he continued to act by resolution of the city fathers and from 1917 he acted under authority given him by appointment in accordance with the provisions of the legislative act. He hag no specific instructions from the board concerming his duties, but in general he had supervision of the water works and pipe line He hired and discharged heip and had full charge of the reservoirs and all con- struction work. He received a notice on June 28th, 1918, from the board in- forminz him that the office of super- intendent had been abolished and he proceedeq to take steps to test the -validity of the action. Hugh Rlackledge and Albert S Com- stock, two members of the water; board, testified as to the duties of the superintendent. The latter had served on the water board 18 ars and Mr. Blackledge is now serving the third vear of his second term. having filled the place during a previous term He left the meeting on the evening of June 28th. as he understood the busi- i been transacted. and the abolishing the office was after he loft the meeting John H. Carney. who is the member of the hoard appointed by the court of common council. said the office was abolished in the interest of economy. as did Patrick F. Bray, who said that tendent—Charges Board Acted in Bad Faith—Defense JUDGE REED HEARS BURNAP'S APPEAL Aboliching Office of Superin- Office Was Found to Be Un- the board employs four foremen, but that the work could be done by two. Mr. Lang testified’ that hé is the president of the water board anq is performing the duties required by res- olution of the city council passed in 1871. He said that he devoted from eight to twelve hours a day to the duties of his office. He found no com- plete inventory of the stock en hand and has heen having an accurate in- ventory made. His relatives wisit with Mr. Burnap, had always been very ‘cordial and it was an embarrass- ing situation the morning after Mr. Burnap was notified that his office had béen_abolished to find him still seek- ing the place. He thought much of the work formerly done by the super- intendent could be done by the fore- men and the office. was unnecessary. He had not discharged any of the foremen, but had increased the pay of two of them 50 cents a day each. In addition to the foremen and other workers, there are guards at each res- ervoirs, also caretakers. Attorney Frank L. McGuire, acting for Mr, Burnap, asked permission to submit- copies of records and resolu- tions of the board of water commis- siomers and the count of commeon council, and Judge Reed said - the copies might be filed. The attorneys will then file briefs and the entire matter will then be before the judge for his consideration. The appellants were represented by Attorneys Frank L. McGuire and John H. Barnes. Corporation Counsel Jo- seph T. Fanning had charge of the case for the water board. Judge Barnes, who had planneq a trip to the ‘White mountains, left before the hear- ing was finished. The hearing began at 10 o'clock and was not ended till after 4. For the respondent, Mr, Lang, At- torney Fanning called to the stand Patrick F. Bray, another member of the water board, and President Lang, after having cross examined each of the witnesses presented by the appel- lant. It was brought out in the testimony that the vote in the water board was 3 to 1 in favor of abolishing the office of superintendent and that Mr. Rlack- ledge did not vote, as he had left the méeting before then, having asked to be excused. It was also testified to that the ma- jority of the members of the hoard claimed they considered it unneeessary to have the office of superintendent when there were four competent fore- men connected with the department and there was also the law making it oblizatory upon the president of the vater board to give necessary super- sion to the department. Testimony and documentary evidence was introduced to show that it is a provision of ‘the city charter that makes it necessary for the president of the water board {0 give as much time and attention as may he necessary to the supervision, caré¢ and management of the water works, ch is an o’ zation resting upon him whether superintendent is employed or not. OTIS LIBRARY ASKED , | TO SEND MORE BOOKS From This Community For the Men| Now in France. re- The Otis Public Library has ceived a request from the American Library Associaticn's Headquarters in Washington for anore hooks from this community for the men overseas. The appeal from Washington states that new novels and good Western stories, whether new or old, are most’ needed. Books by Zane Grey, Rex Beach, Jack London, Ralph Connor, Owen. Wister and O. Henry are very popular. The Public Library gnnounc- es that it will receive and forward all suitable hooks that are turned in. It urges the friends of the soldiers and sajlors, many of whom have already responded most- generously, to give more books. The communication received by the Library from the Washington head- quarters states that over 600.000 books have been sent overseas. The supply is nearly exhausted, and several hun- dred thousand more will be needed soon by the six dispatch officers in strong cases, so built that they serve as bookcase. They go on the decks of transports, in cargo vessels and in naval vessels. Those tkat go on the decks of the transports are open so that the men may have reading matter for use on the vofage. All these books are gath- ered together again. however, replaced in the cases and delivered to the prop- er officials in France. Tn Frafce, the books are distributed by an experienced librarian, represent- ing the American Library Association. Most of them go to Y. M. C. A, Red Cross and Salvation Army huts. hos- 1y to chaplains and officers. . N. E. 0. P. FIIELD DAY. State Event Is to Be Held Saturday at Savin Rock.

The following pens weére the winners of fourth place: 64, G. P. Platt, Wal- lingford, Pa. 66 Dauirick Bros, Win- ster, Conn, 78, E. A, Ballard, Chést- nut Hill, 4., and 90, W, E. Kieft, Springfield, Tll. The total production for the week was 3335 eggs, or 476 per cent, One change has taken place amongst the three best pens of the Rhode' Island Reds. Pen 40, Pequot Poultry Farpis, Southport, Conn., has taken the place of pen 3§, Chas. H. Lane, Southbard, Mass. No other change has taken place amongst the three best pens in each of the prin- cipal varieties. For the last few wecks the hens seem to continue to fall off in their producing ability, which only goes to show that some heng are not doing much toward filling the egg basket. Most of the hens that are not laying are just slackers. Consequently from nOw on it is very desirable that these poor producers be eliminated from the flock in order to produce the gréatest quantity of eggs at the least possible cost. The culling demonstrations have proven that it pays. At a recent cull- ing bee 826 hens were court-martialed as’ being slackers from a flock of 1403. The results of this demonstration showed that the egg production for the week previous to the demonstra- tion was 2100 eggs, or an average of 300 per day. The egz rroduction for the week following the demonstration :-as 2395, or an average of 342 per ay.
