JUDGE PEASLEY'S
 FINAL DECISION
Finds No Evidence of Care lessness on Part of
 Landlord

In his last decision as a judge of the superior court, Judge Frederick M. Peasley finds for the defendant in the $1 900 civil action of the Jones and Morgan O., against William S. Jones. The action, in which the firm asked damages of $1,000 from the owner of the building, for dam- ages done by leaking water, was heard by Judge Peasley last week.
 In a memorandum filed with his decision, Judge Peasley holds that water damage done to the Jones and Morgan stock last July was not caused by the negligence of the de- fendant. He rules that the company cannot recover damages, since the owner of the building took every reasonable precaution to prevent leaks,
 The judge points out that the water seeped into the clothing firm quarters from Q dentists office, and was not caused by any carelessness on the part of the management oi the Bank street building.

M'LEvY LAUDS
 MERIT SYSTEM
Bridgeport Mayor Tells Teachers Not to Dab-
 ble in Politics

Mayor Jasper McLevy of Bridge port made plea for the education of children on the idea of merit system in government at the Con- necticut Association of Public school Superintendents dinner Saturday evening, in Hartford. The Bridge port executive stated he felt one political party was as good as an- other, but that the, shifting of power with elections worked to the disadvantage of an educational sys- tenn. People connected with the dee partment of education In various cities, he said, would be better able to work if they were not afraid. of not being yeappointed because of . change in the government of the city. Under Q system where there was no afflliation with politics, c system In which positions would be secured on merit, there would be no difficulties such as this to con- tend with.
 At the business meeting earlier In the day the association went on record as favoring increased state support of education, including the equalization feature and based on new sources of taxation" This re- solution will be Q part of the legis- lative program of the association.
 Egbert A. Case of Willimantic succeeded Worcester 0. Warren as president Of the association and Royce D. McAllister of suffield was elected to the vice-presidency. Earl s. Russell of Windsor was elected secretary and treasurer.
 An extensive discussion of the finer points of the equalization bill took place before the resolution was passed. It was brought out that the States share of educational ex- pense has decreased in the last sev- eral years. Members of the associa- ton recommended that in future equalization bill nothing be said about revoking existing grants to towns, since this only caused fear and antagonism.

WILLIAM GREEN
 HITS HIGH COURT

Washington, Feb. i0.-(UE.- President William Green of the Arn- erican Federation of Labor asserted today that revolution breaks the deadlock" when government Is not able to adapt itself to changing conditioAs. Tn an editorial in the American Federationist, Green con- tended that Q serious situation" has arisen as Q result of recent supreme court decisions declaring laws un- constitutional.
 "The supreme court has declared that congress cannot enact laws to promote social welfare or to regulate industries" he said.
 "This Is Q serious situation. His tory of other nations shows that when government becomes too rigid to meet changing needs. revolution breaks the deadlock. To escape vio- lent remedy. we must work out ways to govern under changing con- ditions without abandoning our democratic institutions.
 ."Clearly, congress must be au- thorized to make laws to promote the general welfare and to promote the social welfare of our citizens.
