LAND IS HELD SACRED
Court in Bridgeport Case Rules
Against Corporation That Sought to
Condemn Property.

Bridgeport, July 7.-Soil in which
are the graves Of members of fam
lily may be sacred to that family and
condemnation by the court would be
a disregard of that sentiment, Judge
William Maltbie of the superior court
held today in decision which he
gave against a corporation which
sought before him the right to take
land for its use which family would
not give up.
The Peck Land Corp. of Greenwich
wished to extend its holdings and
wanted Il piece of property in the
Samuel Close estate. In that plot
we're graves Of members of the Close
family who died between 1880 and
1910. The estate refused to give up
the land and the corporation petit
toned the court for the right to take
it. Judge Maltbie criticized the cor
poration for coming into court with
such petition and denied it, saying
that the land had been made sacred
by the graves in it.

Troubles are likely to be limited
to loose connections.
In finding trouble, it is well to
imagine that the wires, are. pipes.
that short circuits are leaks caused
by breaks in the insulation (pip-
ing), and that loose connections
are comparable to clogged pipes.
The starting system is quite sep
arate from the lighting system
and consists simply of a starting
motor and switch connected to the
storage battery. The starting
motor may be compared to a
water motor and the switch to a
valve. Closing the valve causes
the motor to rotate.
If the starter cranks' the engine

is weak. but If the lights are bright
