Judge Case has overruled the city's demurrer to the complaint made by the Misses Lucas against the City of Norwich in which they ask the SUI = perlor court to grant an injunction re- straining the municipal officials from tearing up otherwise destroy ing the present walk around the Main Street side of the Breed Building and from laying a granolithic walk.
 Last September the court of com mon council ordered number of property owners, including the Misses Lucas, to lay granolithic walks and curbS. The Misses Lucas refused to lay granolithic walk as they claimed that their walk is in good condition and that the city had no power to or der them to tear up their walk and replace it with granolithic walk.
 It is said that the city then threat ened to tear up the walk and lay the granolithic walk according to the or der passed by the council. The Miss es Lucas then petitioned the superior court to grant them an injunction re- straining the city authorities from tearing up the present walk and lay ing the granOithic walk. The city de- murred to the complaint and as stat ed above the demurrer has been ov erruled by Judge Case.
 In his memorandum Judge Case says:
 Regardless of any other consider ation the second paragraph of the

 Damages of $2,5oo For Plaintiff.
 In the action brought against the City of Norwich by Mary Lucy as the result of a fall on Main street on De cember 20, 1916. Judge Case has awarded the plaintiff damages of s2, 800. Damages of six thousand dollars were asked in the complaint.
 Mrs. Lucy fell in the fall to the side walk, fractured the joint of her right thigh and received injuries to her ner- vous system and body. Shortly aft CT the accident she filed action against the city asking s6,o0o damages. On March Sth she died.
 Tn his memorandum of decision Judge Case says:
 Notwithstanding the somewhat re- stricted scope under our cases of mu- nicipal liability for injuries incurred as these were, I think it obvious that the city was negligent in allowing structural conditions to remain at the points in question which disclosed danger of the municipal authorities

STREETS ARE ORDERED
 OPENED UP AGAIN No Further Need of Restrictions About the H, & A. Plant,

Mayor Allyn L.. Brown. in a letter to Edwin w Higgins, one of the re- ceivers of the Hopkins & Allen Arms company, has signifed his intention of removing the traffic restrictions which have been in force about the arms plant on Franklin street for some .ime past. The letter to MT. Higgins follows:
 Norwich, Conn,
 July IS, 1917. Hon. Edwin w. Higgins, Receiver
 Hopkins & Allen Arms Company
 Main Street, Norwich. Conn. Dear Sir:
 Some weeks ago at the request of the Hopkins & Allen company. and at the suggestion of representative of the office of United States District AttOrny Spellacy, of Hartford. a measure of precaution, and for the sake of public safety. I instructed the street commissioner and the chief of police to arrange to allow roped off the sidewalk on the Franklin street and Chestnut street sides of the Hop kins & Allen plant. and also to close Willow street to traffic opposite the property of the plant and further to regulate the traffic opposite the prop erty of the plant and further to reg ulate the traffic on Chestnut street.
 At that time there were some 1900 employees at work in the factory. and being shortly after the declaration of war if seemed wise to leave nothing undone to guard against possible harm.
 These restrictions have been con- tinued, being enforced by the guards or patrol furnished by the company. up to this time.
 Now that the plant is practica lily closed down, IL seems to me that the property can he sufficiently protected by the guards of the company, without the aid Of the restrictions, above men, toned. upon the public.
 I have received number of com plaints of the inconvenience caused to the citizens by the partial closing of the streets mentioned. I believe that under the present conditions the in convenience to the public outweighs the possible advantage of these mea- sures for greater safety.
 I shall, therefore. today instruct the street commissioner and the chief of police to open up these streets and walks to public travel as before any restrictions were imposed.
 Should you and your fellow receiv- CTS feel that the property cannot be adequately protected without some such measures for the future, I would respectfully suggest that you address petition to the court of common council. when the matter can be acted upon at the regular meeting on the first Monday of August, 1917.
 Very respectfully yours
 ALLYN l.. BROWN.
 Mayor.

SEEK RECRUITS FOR NAVY.
Wisconsin Making Real Response to
Call to Uncle Sam S Fighters
on the Seas.

With more than 1000 Wisconsin boys
now in the navy and a steady stream
of applicants coming in the recruiting
offices, the state is making splendid
record in helping to man the guns of
Uncle Sam s sea fighters.
But more men are needed, because
the naval training stations are turning
out sailors at a rate never dreamed of
before. Almost every week some Wis
censin men who have enlisted are called
for active service or for training. The
man who enlists in the navy is certain
to see active service in short time.
For the young man who is ambitious
the navy offers the finest kind of chan
ces. Men with trades are especially well
coined in the navy. Machinists partic-
ularly are needed. The navy offers bet
ter pay, everything considered, for the
men with trade, than does civil life.
With the rapid expansion of the navy
the Woodworking young man stands a
better opportunity today for advance
ment than ever before. The man who
hesitates to enlist should remember this.
Besides offering the highest pay of
any branch of the military service, be-
sides it's opportunities for vocational
education and advancement, the navy
carries it's men to all parts of the world.
Journeys that would cost an Individual
hundreds of dollars are part of the
routine of the navy.
The American fleet has already been
heard from in the war zone and the
red-blooded boys who want to help the
nation in It's hour of need VIII find
their best opportunity to do so in the
navy service.
Join the navy: is the patriotic ap-
peal to the boys of the Badger state.
Young men IS years or over of good
health and character can join. The very
lowest pay is $3260 per month, with all
living expenses Paid by Uncle Sam and
$50 worth of clothing free the first
year.
