CHEMICAL GO.
GET VERDICT
Jury Out Three Hours,
Decide Against Plaintiff.

After being out about three hours
and a half the jury sitting in New
Brunswick In the suit for damages Of
Andrew and Agness Paluskfewicz
against the Roessler 8 Hasslaeher
Chemical company Of this city brought
in verdict abouf seven O'Clock last
might for the defendants.
The verdict In this case is source
Of great satisfaction to the Roessler &
Hasslacher Chemical Company, because
of the fact that the company has been
subject to several suits In the past, In
which 1t was always claimed that the
plant was operated in an inoffensive
and noiseless manner and the decision
of the 1Wy yesterday vindicates this
claim.
The factories of this company have
been in operation for the past twenty
Eve years without complaint, excepting
from few parties living In the immed-
late neighborhood Of factory No. in
Mechanic street, and which parties are
attempting to dispose Of their real es-
tect itself against htigstion the COM
pany shout four years ago installed a
number of highly expensive smoke con-
sumlng devices which have made it pos
sible for them to run their plant with.
out emitting any smokes or odors.
One of the officials of the company
stated this morning that although the
company manufactures chemicals 1t
must not be generally accepted that the
plant is nuisance although some Of
the persons who have brought action
for damages in the past seem to have
assumed this, that an effort has always
been made IN the past and will be in
the future to carry on their business
without hindranee to the public.
For the defendant City Physician
Meinzer testified that he had had no,
occasion to treat cases arising from
offensive odors or explosions. City En-.
gineer Mason exhibited maps showing
that other manufacturing plants jza that
locality might be responsible for s1leg-
ed offensive odors claimed by ths de-
fendant. Roundsman Morris and Pa
trolman Harding testified that they
were familiar with the locality and
knew of no nuisances.
City Health Inspectors Frost and
Kerr testified that they visited the
plant frequently and had not observ-
ed anything offensive. Alderman Gal
vim spoke Of doing plumbin work
around the plant at which time he had
not noticed anything OF an offensive
nature. Constance Sofsy, aa smploye
Of the company, denied the existence
of odors or explosion. William Uffsr,
who lives near the plant, gave similar
testimony. The company produced
about fifteen employees, who work atI
the plant alternately, night and day,
who disclaimed any knowledge OF ex-
pfosions and said that the process OF
cynids was odorless.
At great expense. the company has
made its processes which were liable TO

fresh air and sunshine really is. He
said about seventy per cent. of the
school population of the country are
afflicted with either eye, ear, nose
or throat trouble of some sort and
he said 1t was up to authorities to
improve these conditions In edu-
eating the children, he declared the
provision of healthful conditions was
very important and governed tie

In connection with figures of the
