COUNTY CASES DECIDED BY
 SUPREME COURT

The supreme court of errors closed its last term for the year Thursday in New Haven and handed down fif- teen opinions. In one decision the court holds that a man who suffered from an attack of trichinosis cannot recover damages from the dealer who sold him the diseased meat unless he uses moderate degree of care in the construction of his complaint.
 These are the Fairfield county cases:
 Town of Norwalk against Kate H Podmore and others. An applica- tion by the town for the appointment of a committee to assess damages sue- fered by the defendants from the ta- king of their lands for bridge and park purposes under special act of the General Assembly of 1911. The application was brought before Judge Case who dismissed it. Judge Thay- CT finds error. The motion to dis miss was based on the claim that the only power to make the application lay in the selectmen and that the bridge construction committee pos sessed no power in condemning land for the bridge or the approaches. The special act, the. court finds, took the power from the selectmen and vested it in the committee. @est

Messinger, administrator, against the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad Company; an ac- tion to recover damages of $2,5OO for negligence. resulting in the death Of the plaintiffs intestate, one Vasensky The case was heard by Judge Shum- way and a jury, and Judge Wheeler finds no error.

SEWER COMMIT TEE E PLANS RELIEF FOR SEVERAL LOCALITIES

Through action of the Sewer com mittee at it's meeting yesterday after noon,f residents of French street and vicinity who have been complain1ng g about the method of constructing the new sewer in that street, are expect ed to find relief. The committee visited the French street sewer work and after considering the complaints of the property owners fhereabouts concluded that they were well found ed. The plan to have the storm Wal ter, carried off into a brook did not appeal to the residents because the outlet of the brook was too small and would cause the flooding of property, and thus furnish stagnant pools in which mosquitoes and germs would breed. They desired that the surface water be emptied into the Shapiro has been representing them. To have the storm water empty into the sanitary sewer, the officials claim would do away with the proposed system under which the sewer is be- ing built. The sanitary sewer would not be able to take care of such a volumc of water. Director .Courtade let of the brook and this will relieve the situation. a
 The wilmot avenue trunk sewer was inspected with regards to the outlet which is 2, believed to be too small. The city engineer will make soundings to see if the deposits of this sewer is causing. the filling of the creek at the outlet. The com mittee visited Charles street. The nuisance, reported by Frank Kennedy there, was found to be private one and not the fault of the city sewers. The board of Health will act in the matter. The committee decided to first see if sewer fa abilities. for which Thomas Ormond has .petitioned. can be constructed in the Second dis trict, before taking action on the petition. A new sewer, much larger than the present, will be built in Main street from Wheeler avenue to French street. The present one is too small. Sewer relief will be pro- vided for Orland street where the new school house is to be built. The city engineer will start at once on plans for it. The conditions at the lower end of Iranistan avenue will be studied after levels of that vicin- ity have been taken by the city en- gineer.

HIGH SCHOOL ITEMS
 NEWS OF STUDENTS

 class is now being congratulated for being the valedictorian of the Senior class. Miss Chapin had the wonder fully high average for four years of 997. All three candidates for vales dictory hOnors had averages of 99 in English. Such high marks have never before been recorded in the history of the school.
 Special exercises for flag day were held yesterday morning in connec- tion with the services of chapel.
 Many of the Junior Commercials remained after school Thursday af- ternoon to practice their class song under the supervision of Miss Curtis, the English instructress.
 Richard Mansfield IA Commercial, attended a straw ride given by the Jolly Four on Thursday evening. Dick had along his small COW bell and reports having a good time.
 Plans are now being formed for both a Senior Commercial baseball team and glee club. next year.
 The seal of the Junior class was drawn yesterday morning, on the board of the Assembly Hall, in gold and green, the colors of the class, for the Class Day exercises in the afternoon.
 On the morning of June 25. conl- plete rehearsal of all the exercises of Commencement Night will be held at the Park Theatre.
 The afternoon baseball team is badly in need of funds. The boys have been working hard all season but have. received poor support. All contributions sent to the afternoon Athletic Association will be gladly received.
 Now that the school year is draw ing to a close the Junior Commercials put forward the claim for being one of the liveAest classes the school has ever known. They have two literar. clubs, a crack debating team, two baseball teams, two class songs, they have held several rextemporaneOus' debates, have had all their class meetings last over three-quarters of an hour, have had class day of their own this year. Looking over this list it must be acknowledged that the Junior Commercials have done very we'll.
 The fact however, is that the past year has been very good one not only for the Junior Commercial class but for all the classes. Literary activi- ties and Ssocials have f1ourished as never before. Whereas class dances were practically unknown a couple of years ago, now nearly every class has it's own dance which is looked forward to, and admitted by all to l. be a beneficient factor of school life. More interclass and interschool de- bates were carried on during the past year than ever before. Let us hope that the students will continue to broaden out their fields of learnins and activities, always cherishing the l advice of their instructors as para | mount to everything else.

The problem which now confronts
the society is the status of the 100000
members who have left the order in
protest 10 the new rates as adopted by
the head camp at Chicago. Under a
special dispensation they have until
Dec. 1-tomorrow-to get back into
the order without being counted as
lapsed members. Those who have
failed to take advantage of this, may
or may not be out of the society. On
the other hand there are 100000 who
have either Joined the society since
the new rate plan was adopted or who
had their policies transferred from the
old to the new schedule. What is to
be done with their policies and rates
is another problem.
The head officers assure the mem
bers pending the final settlement OF
the controversy, an equitable rate will
prevail for all these members of un,
