Judge Jennings, of Su-
 perior Court Says Ad-
 justment Board Ex-
 ceeded its Authority.
Commission, Granting Ex. ception for Erecting of Lodge Rooms, Changed Zone, Is His Finding.

Ruling. in effect, that the action Of the board of adjustment in al- lowing a special exception to zoninS regulations on Russell street to per. init erection of a Masonic temple. constituted a change in the zona rather than an exception, Judge Jennings today reversed the find- ing of the board,
 The Masonic Temple corporation planned to build a lodge-room and clubhouse on the sloper property on Russell street and secured from the board Of adjustment an ex- ception 10 the restrictions Of Resi- dence R districts to allow of this building. Under the zoning act lodgerooms may be built only In Residence C areas.
 The case came before Judge Jen- nings on appeal of Judge William c. Hungerford and others through Attorney John T. Robinson. The claim was set up that the board had acted arbitrarily and in violation of the law and that 1t had usurped a power of the common council to ef- feet a change on zone. These claims were denied by Corporation Counsel John H. Kirkham and Attorney James w. Carpenter of Hartford. The trial lasted two weeks.
 Judge Jennings writes in his memorandum; If ar exception were granted 10 correct a manifest failure of the ordinance 10 &C., complisn the general purpose of tho law in some specific case. the same result might have been reach- ed. But when, as here, this reason in the last analysis is purely and simply 10 cancel the restriction i'm posed on a certain lot, l feel that the board exceeded its authority"
 Sherwood H. Raymond. chairman of the building committee of tho Masonic Temple Corporation was unable to say this afternoon what the next step will be. He regards the matte as one in which the city is called upon to proceed in defense Of action by one of its boards, he said.
 Judge Jennings opinion follows:
 Judge Kirkham seems to be in some doubt as 10 the scope of this hearing. As l endeavored to make plain in my oral statement on tho
