EMINENT DOMAIN
RIGHT is DENIED
Supreme Court Acts in the Case
OF Connecticut College For
Women.

Hartford, Oct 24.-The supreme
court of errors has handed down a
decision declaring unconstitutional a
clause in the charter of the Connecti-
cut College for Women, located at
New London, which gives the institu-
ton the right of eminent domain to ac-
quire property.
The charter was granted by the gems
eral assembly OF two years ago, ana
was approved by Gov. Simeon E. Bald
win, a former chief Justice of the SE-
preme court 1t is said that the gov
ernor made the final draft of the
clause in the charter himself. By q
coincidence. the decision declaring the
clause unconstitutional was written by
Justice j. K Beach of New Haven,
who was recently elevated to the SUI
prene bench of the state by Governor
Baldwin.
The case was that Of Jeremiah c.;
Calvert of New London VS. The Con-
nect1cut College for women The coli
lege sought to secure certain lands
owned by Mr.. Calvert, but the parties
failed to agree. Thereupon the college
sought to make use of the clause in it's
charter giving it the right of eminent
domain
The case was taken to the superior
court where Judge Case rendered a
decision sustaining Mr.. Calvert Upon
sustaining the demurrer, the case was
taken to the supreme court Of errors.
Judge Beaeh's decision is a lengthy
one, covering nineteen pages. He says
that the constitutional question raised
is whether 1T is possible to condemn
private property for public use; and
as to whether the acquisition of the
land by a college would constitute use
for the public generality. He holds
that the clause is unconstitutional
