against Rutland's Street Com
mittee Dissolved.

nlVtoe DlbbOlV6u.
Chancellor Wendell =. Stafford gave
Monday morning his answer to the petition
for which the arguments were made Sat-
urday for the dissolution of the injunctions
restraining the Rutland street committee
from doing certain work. The chancellor
holds that the committee have not exceeded
their authority in what they have done
and he ordered the Baxter street injunt-
ton dissolved and the bill in chancery dis
missed. While the order for dissolution
was made only in the case of w. Y. w.
Ripley ct al. taxpayers. VS.. the street COM
mittee, A. c. Grover and j. II. Lincoln,
the chancellor's opinions covered sufficient
ground to take in the three existing injunc-
lions and the street work can now go on
as before these bills were brought.
Chancellor Stafford maintains that Frank
r. Blanchard, Michael Gilrain and Edward
Pomeroy have not exceeded their author
lty inasmuch as they have acted as street
commissioners. There Is a sharp distinc-
ton, he declared, between the street COM
mlttee and the street commissioners. The
former is a standing committee of the city
council that acts for and receives orders
from the council. The latter Is board
that takes its authority direct from the
acts of the Legislature so far as the laying
out and determining Of streets goes. The
and are merely appointed by the city coun-
Gil. AS to laying sewers the chancellor de-
cded that the defendants had not acted OF
claimed to act in contraVention of the or
ders Of the city council, but only in the
absence Of such orders. The case will
probably be taken to the supreme court

ton by their bondsman. j. A. Kelly of Bur-
lington. These celestals have been in the
