 The case of Arthur w. Braithng vs. the Town of Stratford, which has been pending in the Court of Com mon Pleas since the 10th of June, was l decided in favor of the town, August
 18th. Four years ago the state rais- ed the road in front of MT Braitling's property and made the road higher than the sidewalk and the cellar. During and after each rain storm the
 water would flow into the cellar and | stay there, not having a chance to | flow out. Appeal was made to the l Selectmen with the result that the
 sidewalk was filled up to the level of ! the road with dirt. Suit was brought against the town for damages and the l decision was reached Wednesday, af- | ter two years.
 | The clause in the decision of the | Board of Selectmen on the pay of | the new policemen to the effect if | any be put on the force does not l necessarily mean that after the off, | cer gets s1,40O for this year he is 1 bound to get a raise of S10O every | year until he gets the s1,6O0 mark, | but means that if he is found satis- | factory in every way that he has the
 same chance as the present patrol
 men in getting a raise.
