CASE INVOLVING
 STOLEN AUTO
Action Brought Five Years Ago Settled Out of Court, We'd
 nesday
Four Putnam Men Possessed Car Re.
 covered by in,uranee Go.

A civil action involving the sale In Putnam i've years ago of stolen automobile came to a conclusion in Wiliimantic when the case of Roder. iek Miller vs. Earl (. Rogers, was settled out of court Wednesday. The innocent purchase of the car. stolen in Boston from a man named Fred. erick C. Cheever. was an expensive buy for several Putnam men, especi- ally the original purchaser. who fin. ally had to settle.
 In May. 1919. Mir Rogers. land- lord of the Putnam Inn, was in the automobile business with a man named Sharpe. A second hand Buick automobile was purchased. On or about May 2Sth the defendant sold to the plaintiff the Buick car for S450 and taking in trade another automo- bile valued at $ ,450.
 Car Passes Through Other Hands
 After purchasing the Buick ear the plaintiff, Miller, sold the car to Arthur fepin who in turn sold it to Napoleon Muire. All the parties To tue transaction were Putnam men
 In February, 1920, the Automobile Mutual Insurance Company of Am erica demanded the surrender of the automobile from Muire, alleging that it had been stolen and that the in suranee company was entitled to the car for having paid the rightful own CT the insurance money.
 Muire refused to turn over the automobile and the insurance com pany brought A replevin suit. The action was tried in the superior court the same month that demand was made and the titie of the insurance company was upheld.
 Long Drawn Out Action
 Subsequently there was adjustment of the situation between Muire and pepin and Pepin and Miller and it was to bring about a final adjustment of the matter that Miller brought suit against Rogers.
 The case has been long drawn out owing to legal teehnicalities and de- murrers and adjournments.
 The plaintiff was represented by Attorneys Torfey & Geissler while Attorneys F.. L. Darbie and William A. King of Willimantic represented the defendant.

Thompson TO,vn Officers
 Upheld by Courts Finding
PAYMENT OF TOWN FUNDS TO MEMBERS OF SCHOOL COMMITTEE, NOT TILLEGAL~-SITUATION DOES
 NOT WARRANT INJUNCTION
Judge Maltbe Tentatively Decides Legal Question of Vital Importance to Every Town In the State, In Case
 of keegan vs. Town of Thompson e als.

Judge William M. Maltbie of the Su- perior court has rendered finding in the case of Edward J. Keegan vs. the Town of Thompson ct als. in which the court finds that the town. under a proper vote, had the authority to com pensate members of the town school committee for services. While the final decision is withheld on account of a legal technicality involving the pleadings the court makes his opinion of the law Is very plain.
 The decision in this case has a far reaching effect, is of statewide inter est. and affects every city and town in Connecticut
 The case was submitted to Judge Maltbie some weeks ago and the scope of the decision evidences that he spent considerable time in examining the de velopment of towns in Connecticut. No testimony was offered. the attor- neys submitting the case on an agreed statement of facts which were in sub stance as follows:
 For more than six years 1t had been the custom of the town of Thompson to pay certain members of it's school committee for services rendered as such committee members. and that bills for such services were approved by the seleetmen and paid by the treasur- CT of the town.
 Edward j keegan. a citizen and taNpaye@ of the town Of Thompson, brough, an action to enjoin the town from Layinr any more such bills and claiming damages. for the benefit of the town, aga.nst the several commit teemen, for money they had received from the town as such committeeman.
 The rlaintiF claimed that 1t was in- cumbent upon the members of the town school committee To perform services without compensation, and that none of said bills had been approved by the town eca0oi committee as the law re- quires.
 Cor.sis Is Named Defendant
 The defendant named in the action was [ H. Gprttis. chairman of the school koard The plaintiff alleged that il had requested the selectmen to bring the acton in the name and on behalf = the town. but that the se- lectmen fefus1d to do so. On account of this refusal the plaintiff brought the action as citizen and taxpayer and mac the towns one of the defendants to the action.
 The defendant admitted that he had rec zad money from the town on bills suhn Jed and approved by the select men | alieged by the plaintiff.
 The substance of the defense was that i e town had the right to pay such ! ls in such manner, and that the ra nents were made under vote Of th town.

 A. rpears by the finding the only

reason the decision is not made final is on account of the allegation that the town voted to pay members of ths school board "as before" The court wishes specific allegation as to whai "as before" is. or was, and either evi denee as to this fact or agreement oi counsel.
 On account of the far reaching ef feet of the decision Judge Maltbie' finding is given in full. except the citations.
 Memorandum of Decision
 The political organization of this state is to be traced. l suppose. ta the Fundamental Orders adopted in l63S-99 by the Inhabitants and Residents of Windsor. Hartford and Wethersfield.' Whether or not that document constituted delegation of power from the towns As ultimate sovereiRns or represented an ut ter surrender of all the powers of government to the state has been not a little mooted in the field of poli- tics, as, for instance, in the Consti- tutional Convention of 1902. As q matter of law, however. We must regard 1t as settled that the towns have no reserved powers, but can act only as authority can be found in grants made to them by the Gen eral Assembly.
 At session of the General Court October the 10th. 1889, certain Or ders" concerning towns. which eer- tain members had previously been .s.....n Ans t..A and chief of these were the follow ing: ''The Townes of Hartford, Windsore and Wethersfield, or any other of the Townes within this jurisdiction, shall each of them have power to dispose of their owne lands undisposed of, and all other com odityes arysing out of their owne 1ymitts bounded out by the Court, the libertyes of the great River ex- eepted, as also to choose their owne officers and make such orders as may be for the well ordering of their owne Townes, being not repug- nant Co any law here established. as also to impose penaltyes for the breach of the same, and to estreat and levy the same, ard for non- payment to distrayne. and if there be noe personal estate, to sue to the Court to sell his or their house or land, for making satisfaction.
 What General Laws Provide
 This provision was embodied in the General Laws" as revised and established by the General Court in i672. in this form (p. 65) Tt is by this Court Granted, that the settled and approved Inhabitants of every Township. shall have power to make such Orders and Constitutions as may concern the welfare of their Town.

PATENT PEW WITH
 KNEELING BOARD
Uric St. Marie and Geo. Der rey pre 'cct an Cy.s l
 Idea
Board Fold. Up Gut ef Way While
 Not in Use

Uric St Marie and George Der nief, both of Putnam. are seeking Co protect an original idea for 3 pew seat with kneeling board attachment by securing a United tSates patent. The patent has already been applied for. drawings and model submitted and they have been informed that their idea is new and that there is no similar device on file in the patent office a. Washington
 The present knceling boards or benches in use in Roman Catholic and Episcopal churches especially are stationary. When the occupant of the pew enters he kneels in pray. CT and then sits back on the seat and ninety-ninc times out Of hun. dred puts his feet on the kneelina board. The later conner in entering the pew often has tO pass the one who comes earlier and in this way steps upon the kneeling board. Es. pecialiy on a stormy day the effect of feet upon the kneeling board is sp- parent Dirt. or mud. or slush, or moisture. is carried into She church and finds it's way t0 the kneelins board and is apt to soil, if not spoii. clothing. In tine idea conceived by th two Putnam men this is eliminal !.
 The kneeling board Is affixed Co .he back, lower part of the pew. IL is nicely oYerbalanced and Is easily rullad down into position When the kneeier arises the board swings up into place and rests in a perpen- dicular position out of the way. The over balance is what swings the board back II is impossible to put 6ue's feet on t.
 The idea the two men conceived has appealed to all who have seen the model as a good one and A useful one. l. will do away with separate kneeling benches altogether and will make less work in keeping the church floor clean as there is nothing to be moved out of the way when the janitor sweeps. dusts. or washes the floor.
