At the Falls, where so much of his long service as a poiiceman was given, he was highly regarded and he leaves a rec- ord for faithful and able fulfillment of the duties of an officer. He was a good friend, a loving husband and father Who placed his home and family first il his affections and was happy in providing for the welfare of those he loved. WEDDING, Lipman—Bruckner.

The Norwich course is one of the most difficult in New England and has more natural hazards than any other ecourse. The best match of the day was be- tween Taylor Armstrong, captain of the New London team, and Willls Austin, captain of the Norwich team. Both play- ers were in good form but'Austin at times ran into some hard luck, pulling his long drives into the rough several times but steadying down and pulling out with some exceptional shots. Arm- strong played a consistent and steady game, winning his match one up.” The first round found Armstrong In the lead two up, but in the second round Austin on the first two holes made It even game. Armstrong then took the third hole, 4-3, also the fourth hole, making it 2 up in his favor.

HOUSE TOOK FIRE WHILE \ FAMILY WATCHED AEROPLANE While members of the family at 25 Platt avenue were out looking at the ae- roplane that circled over the city about 5.14 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, an oil stove in the kitchen set fire to a par- tition that was blazing fiercely when the firemen arrived in response to a tele- phone call to the central station followed by a bell alarm from Box 211 at the corner of Warren and Broad street. Deputy Chief H. R. Taft, whose car answered the telephone call, laid 100 feet of 1 1-2 inch hose to a hydrant in front of the house and the fire was un- der control by the time the other appar- atus arrived in response to the bell. Some chemical was also used. A metal ceiling in the kitchen aided materfally in holding the fire to the room where it started. This is the first alarm that has been rung in from box 211, which is a new one recently placed. Chief Stanton's car, the pumper and the Main street chemical answered the call from the box. The house is occupied by the family of Martin Anderson and owned by Fred- erick Holmes.

Ander- son of Groton to oppose the claims of the three active executors of the Mor- ton F. Plant estate to allowances of 3900,000 for their services as executors of the $33,000,000 estate. The United States Trust Co., George L. Shearer and Francis deC. Sullivan, all of New York, are the three executors, whose claims to Such compensation are being disputed by Commodore Plant's widow, now Mrs. Mae Cadwell Plant’ Hayward: “Fiduciaries are not expected to man- age estates for a profit,” said Mr. Hol- comb, in his argument before Judge-An- derson. “If a testator wanted them to make a profit on his estate he would leave the money outright as he did in this case to Mr. Sullivan. Fiduciaries are to be paid for their services which they actually render the estate.’ This doEs not mean the larger the estite the larger the compensation. It means that services should be paid for what the services are worth. There is no law or. understanding in Connecticut that com- pensation of executors shall be based on percentage of estates. That scheme Was killed in the legislature several times and it is evident that Connacticut does :lut ‘want compensation fixed on that ba- 3. “The things that on executor may be pai dfor is his time and his expenses. In the case of the Plant estate whenéver the executor had expenses they wers paid for. Thenever they needed expert 2dvice they got it and they paid well for it, too. So all they are entitled to is thelr time or actual services. Outsld What they hired to be done and paid for I consider that their work was noet ex- traordinary—in fact I consider it less | than ordinary. “Mr. Sullivan put in two years and a half of time; Mr. Shearer a total o seven-éights of a year and the United Trust Co. a very small fraction of ite time. Mr. Sheldon, president of tha States Trust Co., a very small fraction of its time. Mr. Sheldon, president of tha trust company. said that he was hand- ling hundreds of other estates during the same period. The Phnt estate was merely an inciaent in the business of the United States Trust Co. and they want almost as much from this estate as they charged for the hundred or more other estates combined. “Executors are supposed to protect an estate and not present excessive claims against it. The enormity and absurdity o_f their claims is apparent. At seven- eights of a vear Mr. Shearer is asking compensation at the raté of $345,000 a vear, and the total which he and his taw firm which is counsel for the trust com- pany, would receive would be $690,000, a protty good income for one estate. e state of Connecticut is watch- ing you, Jjudze Anderson, to sée what vou allow to the men in whom the dead reposed confidence in handling his estate and T expect you to render a just ver- dict in this matter of compensation and protect the estate from any such ridi- culons charges.” Mr. Holeomb is interested in view of the fact that whatever is allowed the executors and for administration ex- penses of the estate, is deducted from the amount on which the estate will pay taxes to Connecticut, Attorney Whittlesey's Argument. In opening the arguments for the ex- ecutors Attorney Charles B. Whittlesey declared that the amount of $300,000 for ecach of the three executors is “fair. reasonable and just” He reviewed at length and work done by the three who were appointed by all five executors as A committes to handle the estate at the first meeting held by all. # He sald that there were many compli- cations and it required ability, good business judgment and a lot of care- ful stndy to carry the burden and shoul- der the enormous details. “The other two executors, Henry B. Plant and Mrs. Huyward did but lfttle ot the actual work, and Henry B. Plant Is satisfied to have the allowances made as per request. “Mr. Noyes says it is presumptuous for us to name any amount. He fails to name any amount.” Judge Noves inter- rupted to say that he will not name any amount, except he may suggest an amount. “The amount of $300.000 is a Mttle leas than 1 per cent. of the gross estate of $33.000,000," said Attorney Whittlesey. e then proceeded to read a long lst of estates fn Connecticut and Massachu- setts, New York and New Jersey, where the amounts allowed executors were at the rate of about 1 per cent. of the gross estata. \ ‘The just ewmpensation 1s alwavs based on the amount of the groms estate. If settlement is easv a little less than 1 per cent. !z allowed. or one fee for all the executors. If hard to settle, a litle more than 1 per cent.” In handling this big estate the exe- cutors lost only $£65.000 on sale of se- curities and made this loss up through increased value in real estate.” Judge Noyes’ Argument. . Judge Walter C. Noyes, who is an at- torney for Mrs. Hayward, said that the will of Mr. Plant provides for a trust to run during the life of Mrs. Hay- 5. state total 68, last week 32.

The naming of several exbeutors means that it is pro posde to divide the work and they should also expet to divide the fee. t rule should be applied In this esate more than fn any other. “If 1 per cent. is proper in this case then the $300,000 should be divided among all three executors.

Juilllard. Thess men handled- over $15,000,000 tn eight months, and operated the business. They were each paid the sum of $33,000 for their services, although they asked for $50,000 each. Fifty thousand dbl- lars was all *hey asked for, but even then the court reduced their compen- ‘sation to $33,000, “Comparing the two eetates and the work involved I would suggest that $33. 000 for each of thase three executors or $100.000 to bs divided among thém would be a proper compensation.” SPECIAL TOWN MEETING ‘With eight present at the special town meeting held on Wednesday evening, the !sum cf $22.714.23 was appropriated for he purpose of paying the share of thé town of Norwich of the county tax im- posed upon towns of this county at a meeting of the representatives of this county in the general assembly held on March 15, 1921, The selectmen of the town were authorized in the resolution presented to borrow this sum and at such times and in such manner as they shall deem prover for the purpose of paying the tax, and to deliver notes or other obligations of the town therefor as they shall deem proper.
