PUTNAM

' state of Connecticut, and which will have far-reaehing effect on the Putnam Ceme- | tery association as regards the future expansion of the Grove street cemetery. | is looked for daily here, and with much ,, interest. A little over two weeks ago hearing was held on a demurrer to a prayer for an injunction brought by Thomas c. Bradford, who through his counsel, Sear1s. Russell Bradford, seeks to restrain the defendant cemetery asso- citation from using as a place to bury dead bodies certain strip of land on the south side of the cemetery and in close proximity to the dwelling house of the plaintiff. The cemetery association is represented by Attorney ]. F. Carpenter of Putnam. The plaintiff claims an in- junction on the ground that the burial of the bodies in the strip of land will irrepa- rably injure him, as it will be unhealthy and Hnsightly, being in such close prox- lmlty to the house occupied by him as a residence. The plaintiff relies upon section of the statute which provides that no dead bodies shall be buried with in $50 feet of a dwelling house except with the permission of the state health commissioner, unless such cemetery or place of burial was established before the passage of the statute, which was in 1911. The strip of land in question in the Putnam case was purchased before 1911 but was admittedly not used for burial purposes before that date. When | the plaintiff, Bradford, became aware that the Putnam Cemetery association was about to clear the land and plot it for burial purposes it gave notice that it | objected to the project as an infringe ment of its legal rights. The defendant 1 association claims that as the plot of | land was annexed to the Grove street l cHrlnterV baf0ra 10 Sta ft1fe fr, l went into effect it was at the time of the passage of the statute part of the es- l abolished cemetery and therefore did not come within the act. But the plaintiff maintains that, although a piece of land was annexed to the said associations holdings, it had never become a part of the established cemetery because it had
 never been used for cemetery purposes. but was covered with trees and brush
 and left in an undeveloped state
