The right of the city of New Brit ain to continued use of the Matta- bessett river in conjunction with the sewage disposal plant at East Berlin has been established in a superior court decision signed by Judge Carl Foster today.
 In the decision, regarded as the most important from a municipal standpoint in many years, the court rejects the application of Arthur Bowers for an injunction restraining the city from further use Of the stream and rules in the citys' favor in the demand by Bowers for dam- ages in the amount of sf5,000.
 The action was brought more than a year ago through the office of Attorney Donald Gaffney. The de- fense was prepared by Corporation Counsel John H. Kirkham with At- torneys John T. Robinson, Morti- mer H. Camp. and Margaret P. Camp as associates. For several months the decision has been await ed with much concern in this city and in East Berlin, with the likeli- hood of several additional lawsuits being brought by owners of land along the Mattabessett river in the event that the injunction had been granted and damages ordered paid City Has Multiple Defense
 Several defenses to the Bower claims were entered with a general demurrer being filed by the plaintiff. Judge Fosters decision is in the form of an overruling of the de- murrer.
 In the complaint, it was alleged that sewage from the city of New Britain has been carried through the stream running through Bowers land since June l, 1905. Prior to that time, the land was owned by ness, L. s. Burr, and was not &C., plaintiff in this action, and the city set up as one defense a release sign ed July ?. 1904, by Edson w. Bow CTS as owner of the land, and Julius W. Burr as mortgagee. The instru- ment was signed by only one wit ness, L. s. Burr, and was not ack- knowledged Us required by law. A healing act of the general assembly, passed at the 1915 session, was in- troduced to cure this defect and &C., cepted by Judge Foster.
 The citys attorneys further de- tended on the ground that the mu- nicipality has expended much money on the sewage disposal plant and it's outlet and that it has since 1904 en-

GOLF SCHOOLS BARRED
 IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS
Rutherford Orders Wells Street Course Closed;
 Refuses 3 Permits

Based on zoning law restrictions, golf driving course on Wells street was today ordered to discon- tinue oberations and three others for which applications had been made were denied.
 Building Inspector A. N. Ruth erford, whose office administers the zoning act, said today he has no alternative to ordering the Wells street establishment closed because it is a, commercial enterprise in a residential district. Refusal of ap- pications for driving courses on West Main and Stanley streets and Pennington avenue was predicated upon the same conflict with zoning regulations.
 The ruling of the building inspec- tor bans all Tom Thumb, clock golf, and driving schools from areas not located in industrial or busi- ness districts.
 Inspector Rutherford this after noon began an inquiry in to condi- tions at the Wells street driving school which may result in lifting of the bans on that course.
 He was informed that the entire plot of 50 acres has been the prop erty of the McCabe family for nearly 100 years and has been con- tinuously used for commercial pur- poses, as a sand pit, picnic grounds, rifle range, and for other purposes.
 If a check-up of the facts proves the accuracy of the information which reached the inspector today, the plot will be considered as a non-conforming use, in existence be- fore zoning was adopted. This ruling 1t is believed would permit contin- ued use, -'~

PARENTS AGREE ID
 HALT BABY SWAP Chicago Case Of Mixed Infants
 Finally Settled Peacefully EXPERT DECISION IGNORED
Bamberger- Watkins Offsprings Not to Be Exchanged at All-Shape of Child's Head Finally ConvinCes Anxious Couples.

Chicago, July 25 LP-The miXup over the Bamberger- Watkins babies was ironed out at an early morning conference today at which it was de- cided that the babies of Mir. and Mrs Charles Bamberger and MT, and Mrs. Watkins were never mixed up at all.
 The agreement as to parentage was reached at a conference held at the Keystone hospital participated in by the parents and six physicians.
 Willing to Swap Babies
 Following the action of Dr. Ke- gels commission yesterday, Watkins announced himself willing to agree and to switch babies. Bamberger. however, refused and with Mrs. Bamberger and the baby disappear ed. He also announced that he would resist any attempt to take the baby by force. This brought a statement from Watkins to the ef- feet that he would seek the child by court action.
 It was while Dr. Kegel was at tempting 10 locate Bamberger last night that the parents met at the Keystone hospital and finally ac- cepted the decision of the physi- clans that the babies they each have are really their own.
 This decision, reached by agree ment between the parents, was op- posed to that of group of scientists who late yesterday decided that the babies had been switched at Engle- good hospital where they were born.
 Dr. Arnold Kegel, health com missioner, was astounded when in formed of the decision. He said he would consider whether 10 pursue the case further in the interest of public policy.
 The parents, apparently in com plete accord, took the babies and went home. They said the incident was closed as far as they are con- cerned.
 Demanded Investigation
 The parents had demanded an in vestigation following the discovery that an adhesove tape on the back of the Bamberger baby bore the name Watkins" and that a similar tape on the Watkins baby was mark ed "Bamberger." They now believe that the tapes had been washed off at the hospital when both babies wer0 being bathed and that a nurse, in haste. had put them back on the wrong infants.
 The shape of the babies heads was responsible for the final agreement. The Bambergers' baby was their third. The Watkins baby was a first born. A committee Of physi- elan who met with the parents last night agreed that a temporarily oval shaped head, such as the Watkins baby has. Is natural in the case of first born. The Bamberger baby's head is round
