CASE MAY GO
 TO THE COURTS
Whole State Interested in Question Raised About
 WOlcOtt JudgeShip
CONFLICTING OPINIONS

Oscar B. Todd of Wolcott, one of the leading democrats of the community, has entered the con- troversy concerning the legality of the judgeship appointments made by the legislature concerning the town court of Wolcott. There is a strong possibility, he stated, that democratic lawyers in this city will be consulted by the Wolcott demo- cratic organization to look into the matter.
 Representative Robert D. Wake lee, republican leader of Wolcott, who was instrumental in introduc- ing the bill creating the Wolcott town court and in having the reso- lution naming the judges raised in the judiciary committee, claims that the appointments are legal. How ever, should Mir Todd take the in- itiative and start taxpayers suit to prevent the payment of the sal aries of Judges George w. Browne and Harold Logan until the ques- tion of the legality of their appoint ment is decided, it is felt that the matter will be thrown into the high CT courts of the state for decision one way or the other.
 The question as to the legality of the appointment of the Wolcott court judges came after the demo- crats raised the question of legality concerning the naming of the judges of the Hartford police court. In that city 1t is claimed that the reso- lutions naming the judges were on the calendar of the legislature only one day although Section 50 of the general statutes requires that they must be on the calendar three days. In the case of the Wolcott town court judgeships the resolu- tions were not on the calendar at all but were raised in committee and immediately acted upon by the legislature under suspension of the rules.
 Whether or not Mir Todd, as democratic leader in Wolcott, will take legal steps to test the legality of the appointment of Judges Browne and Logan remains to be seen. Governor Cross has hand ed the matter over to the attorney general for a ruling but as yet no opinion has been received. Should the attorney general rule in favor of the legislatures actions, it Is possible that a taxpayers suit will be started in Wolcott to test the matter in open court.

Lecture at the
 YMCA Tonight
Igor l. Sikorsky to Talk on
 Triumphs of the Air

Tonight at 8:15 Igor I. Sikorsky, president of the Sikorsky Aviation Corporation of Bridgeport. Conn. will be the speaker at a forum at the Central Y. M. c. A. Mir Sikor- sky who recently participated in a 5000 mile flight over Central America" and at the same time will show pictures taken during the course of that air voyage. The speaker, who is the creator of the famous S-3S Sikorsky Amphibion does much of his travelling by air. All of his planes are capable of travelling either on air or water, making them doubly safe. The body of the plane is sheped to represent q speedboat while the interior re- sembles a splendid yacht. A fur ther safety feature or the Sikorsky Amphibion S-3S is the fact that 1t is powered by two engines, one of which is capable of bringing the ship in if the other should fall.
 Mir Sikorsky is at the head of a large plant in Bridgeport which Is at present engaged in government work and in the turning out of planes for the Pan-American ser vice which was opened short time ago by Col Charles A. Lindbergh.

JUNE MEETING OF
 SCHOOL BOARD
Buildings on Fairlawn Man. or Lot Sold Yesterday to
 Highest Bidders
ONE NEW TEACHER

The opening of sealed bids for | the sale of the two houses, barn and garage on the plot of land to be used for the new Fairlawn school; the awarding of the build ings to the highest bidders; and the appointment of Miss Mae McKenna as teacher of physical training in the schools, formed part of the business transacted at the board of education meeting yesterday.
 The bid submitted by Nicholas De Nicola for the two houses was far ahead of any of the others and rather surprised the members. It was stated by MT DeNicola that $1,010 was a reasonable" bid for the houses and he was awarded them promptly. For $35, the ga- rage was awarded to Patrick Han- non of 1S3 Fairlawn avenue; while the barn was given to Vincent Phe- Ian of 62 Columbia boulevard. He submitted a bid for $175 for the house at 2S7 Homestead avenue. The Bridgeport Wrecking com sent in no certified check. J. F. Phelan of AZ Chapman avenue, bid $375 for the house at 297 Home stead avenue and $2S for the ga- rage.
 The low prices submitted were rather surprising to the members of the board. Commissioner Scully said the bids were as high and higher than he expected but he would like to know what had be- come of the assurance given the board before the property was bought that the buildings would bring about $6,000 and that cus- toners were waiting to take them at that figure.
 Commissioner Henry Butler said that values of every kind had de- preciated since. MT Scully denied this, stating that he had not been a member of the board for two

 It was learned that the parks are "booked" three and four weeks In advance by associations desirous or having picnics. The fireplaces are placed at the disposal of those wish ing to utilize them.
 There are tables and benches to make the parties convenient and avoid the necessity of spreading the delicacies on the ground.

Term Before He Can Claim
Excess, Justice Robb Says.

Declaring that until a prisoner has
served out the legal portion of his
sentence he has no standing in court to
question the illegal excess, if any, the
District Court of Appeals in an opinion
by Justice Charles H Robb today
sustained the action of the District
Supreme Court which had quashed a
writ of habeas corpus sued out by
Lawrence W. Dodd who had been
sentenced in Police Court to pay a fine
of $500 and in default to serve so days
for possessing liquor
The appellate court points out that
in any view of the case the Police
Court had power to impose a sentence
of 80 days and until Dodd has served
that much of the sentence he could not
be released on habeas corpus. 1t
declared it was not called upon to
decide whether section Gal, title 10, U.
S. Code, authorizing release of INDECENT
