Hartford, to pass upon the questions of law. He held that inasmuch as no damage had accrued to the city be- fore the appointment of the receiver, that the city was not entitledfto the allowance of it's claim or any part Of it. He also held that the committee erred in using the Fischer contract as, a standard of measurement to deter mine the amount of damage which the city suffered, on the ground that the Fischer contract differed in ma- terial respects from the contract with the By-Products Company. The City of Bridgeport appealed from the judgment of Judge Greene to the su- preme court The supreme. courts decision yesterday finds in the judg- ment of Judge Greene. It is under stood that the Aetna Indemnity Com pany under the receivership will pay a dividend of something more than 50 per cent. on the claims. This would mean that if the city is finally allow ed it's claim of $10,0O0, the city will receive something over $5O,o0o in the way of a dividend.

C.. Fischer for the reduction of the garbage. started in the name of The By-Products Co.,, suit against the city, claiming s200,0O0 damages for breach of contract.
 The city filed counter -suit against the By-Products GO. and the surety on it's bond, The Aetna Indemnity Co., claiming $10.000 damages, the amount of the bond. Soon after, The Aetna Co. became insolvent and went into the hands of a receiver. The city presented it's claim to the receiver, asking that the full amount of it's bond, $10,00o, be allowed. r The superior court. of Hartford, appointed Attorney James E. Wheeler a committee to hear the evidence and find the facts. After several sittings in New Haven and Bridgeport, during which former members of the board of health, including Drs. Ober, Fitz- gerald and Osborn and also George T. Kelly and Louis Korf appeared and testified, MT. Wheeler, as a commit tee. found that the By-Products Co. was not justified in breaking its con- tract and held that the city had been damaged to the amount of $20,- 7S6.
 From that time the By-Products Go. closed it's plant uD to the time of the appointment of the receiver, the city buried it's garbage at no greater cost than it had been palying to the By-PrOducts Co The new contract made with MT. Fischer required the city to pay twice the amount that 1t had been paying to the By-Products O., $1 a ton instead of fifty cents ton.
 The attorneys for the receiver claimed that inasmuch as no dama = had been suffered by the city up to the time the receiver was appointed, the city could not be allowed the damages accruing after the appoint ment of the receiver, that is the dam ages to the city due to the increased cost of reducing garbage for the re- mainder of the term during which the By-Products Company should have reduced it under it's contract.
 The report of MT. Wheeler as a committee went before Judge Gard ner Greene, of the superior court of

Thereafter the By-Prodtcts company continued to reduce the garbage until May Ii, 1910, when the company close0 its gates and refused to receive any more garbage from the city.
 During the life of the contract, fre- quent complaints were made by the residents of territory for consld- erable distance surrounding the gar bage plant, on account of the dis agreeable odors coming. from the .lant. Hearings were had before the board of health and on one or two oc- casions mass meetings of indignant citizens were had. The machinery of the plant frequently broke down and it became necessary on different oc- casions to bury the garbage.
 The president and manager of The By-Products company was J. B. Liv- ingston and the financial packer Of the company was a MT. Severance or Ohio. Prior to May 6, 1910, MT. Sev- erance foreclosed mortgage which he held on the porperty of the company in this city. On May 6, 1910, MT. Liv- ingston, notified the board of health that on and after May 11th, the com- pany would suspend operations and would not reduce any more garpage,
  pany's reason therefore, the presence of so much foreign matter in the gar bage delivered at the plant. In this letter Mr. Livingston claimed that the cans, bottles. etc, delivered with the garbage broke the machinery and put the company to a great loss.
 The city, on the other hand, claimed that this excuse offered by MT Lv- ngston was only a pretext and that the real reason for the termination of the contract by the By-Products con- pany was that MT. Severance had concluded not to invest any more money in the plant and that MT. Liv- ingston wanted to leave the city.
 Mir. Livingston made a strong ef- fort to induce the city to purchase the plant and, when the city refused to do it and made a contract with Chas
