 The supreme court of errors in a finding handed down yesterday states that error has been found and juds- ment is ordered for the town Of Plain vile, defendant in the case of Mrs. Catherine Burgess against the town which was tried before Judge William M. Maltbie in the superior court in Hartford. Mrs. Burgess brought suit against the town for damages sus- tained by her when she fell on a de- fective place in the sidewalk at the east end of the Neri block. Judg- ment was rendered for Mrs. Burgess when the case was called in the su- perior court but the town took an ap- peal to the supreme court with the result that Mrs. Burgess loses out in the case. It was held by the supreme court that the defect was not such as to have implied constructive notice to the town of Plainylle and the judg- ment is reversed. The opinion was written by Chief Justice Wheeler.
 Health Campaign Tags
 The campaign of the Psinville Pub lie Health Nursing association is lag eing at the present time due to the slowness of the persons 10 whom let ters have been sent in making re- turns. An appeal is made to all those who have received letters asking them 10 contribute, to return their answers immediately so that Fie canvass Of the town will be started clear of all difficulties. The returns thus far arc anything but encouraging, but it is attributed more to forgetfulness than to anything else. The officers of the association hope 10 be able 10 have all mailed members on record before the personal canvass is started,
 There is no doubt in snyones mind concerning the worthiness Of tho campaign for members and as it only takes one dollar for a years member ship, the officers hope to have a full quota Of members before many days have passed. There is nothing more ! important in the town than healthy community and the work of the visit ing nurse among the children in the schools is sufficient to have the towns people support the association in its work. Contributions Of one dollar may mean the saving Of hundreds in prevention and hope |. being eX- pressed that the townspeople will sup port the movement
