 I. The said judge erred i'll refuS-' ing to hold and rule that the claimed appeal of said Edwin L. Burnap should not be allowed but should be dismissed because there had been no removal of said Burnap from office by said board and for the reason that the action taken by it on June 2Ss 1918, was the legal manner and proceeding by which to abolish the office of superintendent, and that by said action said office was abolished.
 2. The said judge erred in refusing to hold and rule that if the office of superintendent, as created by the board of water commissioners before the passage of the act ce May 16, 1917, passage of said act, the board had the right to abolish it and did abolish 1t by it's action of June 2S, 1918.

 Edwin L. Burnap. who was busted from the position of superintendent of the Norwich water department py vote of the democratic majority Ill, the board of water commissioners on June 28, 1918, when they abolished the office of superintendent is declared to have been illegally deprived or 1l-s office by decision of the supreme court handed down at Hartford on Thursday The decision of the su- preme court finds no error in the de- cision of Judge Joel H. Reed of the superior court against the NorWlcn water commissioners, declaring lnat the office of the superintendent or water works had. been abolished H. legally. The decision says that the office was created by an act of leg islature and could not therefore be abolished by the water commission CTS.
 The legal fight over the right of Edwin L. Burnap to retain the ofhce of water superintendent has been on since the water commissioners, then consisting of A. $. Comstock, Patrick Bray, Hugh BEac1ledge, John Carney and Walter W. Lang, conceived and executed the plan of abolishinS the U1IlCS Ol MdL6Ia a way of getting rid of MT. Burnap, a republican, who he'd the office at a salary of $1.SO0 by appointment un- der an act passed by. the general as seznoly of the state of Connecticut and approved May Is, 1917. The act provided that the superintendent should hold office until removed for cause.
 When the board of water commits s.oriers abolished the office of super- iutendent, the duties that had previ- 1 ously been discharged by the superin- tendent were placed in the hands of the president of the board, Walter W, Lang, who has since then continued to discharge them.
 Through his attorneys John II Barnes and Frank l.. Mcguire, Mir. Burnap took an appeal. from the ac- tion of the water commissioners be- ! fore Judge Reed of the superior court | Corporation Counsel Joseph T. Fan | ming represented the hoard of water commissioners in arguing the appea' i before Jndge Reed who found that Burnap had been unlawfully removed l from his office and issued, judgmen; | that he be restored.
 From this decision the board of water commissioners appealed to the ] supreme court, which now sustain. i Judge Reed.
 The appeal from Judge Reeds de. cision was taken to the supreme cour 1 by the Norwich board of water com. RlisSioners on the following grounds
