 Cites Reasons.

Bridgeport, Feb. 1a 'Pl-Judgc John R. Booth in a decision filed today in superior court declines 10 dismiss writ of mandamus where In Irwin Atchison, treasurer of the town Of Sherman. is called upon 10 show cause why he shall not repay the sum Of se,342.23 to the estate of the late William II. Hawley,
 HaWley was treasurer Of the town for 40 years, When, he retired in 1922 1t was discovered that in his administration he had technically erred in not keeping separate tho town deposit fund from the general town funds as required by law.
 AS way out of the difficulty Hawley paid out of his own funds the s2,S42,?3. the full amount Of the deposit fund. to his successor, Trea- surer Atchison,
 A meeting of the voters of Sher- man was held subsequently, and the selectmen were instructed to ask Treasurer Atchison to return tho money paid by Hawley. This has not been done. The mandamus pro cecdng was started 10 settle the question.
 "It sufficiently appears from the facts set forth, which must be as. sumcl 10 be true for the purpose of determining this question, thit the town has twice received the amount Of money due it" says Judge Booth, dismissing a motion 10 duash the writ of mandamus against Treaurer Atchison.
 Ut would appear" lie continues most unequitable and unjust 10 per init the town to retain the money under such circumstances the rulc that whenever one has in his posses sion money which is equity and good conscience he ought not 10 retain, he should be compelled to pay 1t 10 the rightful owner. ought to apply"

Berlin school children will have to do without their usual mid-wintcr vacation. which was due this year the early part of March. Because of the fact that the recent snow storms have caused so many en- forced layoffs. school authorities lave decided to dispense with the mc week of vacation given the pu- ,ils each winter,
 This step has boon taken SO that he schools may lo able to close at he scheduled time in June. If he mid-Wintar vacation vas proTid- ed. it would mean that the schools would have to remain in session for g. longer pcrod at the end Of fine 1925-l92G term. in order that the work mapped out for the year might be completed. Tho children will he disappointed to some extent. but they may looW forward 10 starting their summer vacation on schedule, rather than remaining in school an additional week to finish their work.

One Of them is suffering from pneumonia and was unable to secure the Sorv- ices of a physician, although it is said that tine condition has been rcmodicd since the snoWSi 0rmS.
