P. M. Hatch, vice president of the Connecticut Power company and formerly executive vice president of the Stamford Gas and Electric coHn- pany which was merged into the first named utility recently, In Q statement today declared that last weeks decision of Judge Newell Jennings of the superior court in the matter of complaint against the operation of the Stamford company was source of encouragement not only to the company, but to Con- necticut industry generally.
 Fifty property owners living In close proximity to the plants of the gas and electric company had sued the utility because of alleged nui- sarce consisting of odors, dust, noise and vibration, Mir. Hatch explained. After @ trial lasting three weeks, the court found in favor of the defend- ant company in three test cases. In his finding, Judge Jennings de- scribed 0 visit made by the court to the property and neighborhood from which the complaints enanated. He said:
 Trip Described
 "Not to describe the trip at length, none of the conditions described by her Gone of the plaintiffs) existed, either in the houses of the plaintiff or the plant of the defendant. Ger tain indications were present which could not have been specially pre- pared. The condition of the roofs and gutters in the plant and in the houses negatived the possibility of any such collection of cinders as was exhibited by the plaintiffs, as did the white paint of the garage, the paint shop there located and the operation of high speed delicate machines with the windows open. Numbers of birds frequented the in- ner rafters of the new water gas plant, the chief source of complaint. It was apparently their home. Such condition would be impossible if the gas and smoke conditions even remotely approached the description of the plaintiff. White roses right

 Wins Decision On Judges Observations

in the plant area, which must have been open for some time, were free of any sign of dirt or soot. They could hardly have been manicured for the occasion"
 MT. Hatch's Remarks
 Commenting on the decision in favor of the company, MT. Hatch said:
 Tt is encouraging to those in Connecticut who obtain their living from the industry of this state, whe- ther they be labor or the owners or those interested in industry, that our state courts recognize the ne- cessity of their perfection.
 while we believe that no person or company has a legal or moral right of inflicting damage upon neighboring or, in fact, any pro- perty. we also realize that to penal- ize the gas and electric company would be to raise their cost of rnak- ing their commodity. Such increase in cost can only be offset by in- creasing customers price. This ap- plies to not only the gas and elec- tric company but applies to all in- dustry and the more burdens we put upon Connecticut industry, the less able are we to compete in the mar kets of the country; and the less able we are to compete in the mar kets of the country, the less able are we to employ in this city and in Connecticut.
 "The decision in this case signi- lies that those plants which keep themselves free from nuisances have with them the justice of the courts of this state and the protection of their capital in labor which has made this state one of the foremost in the country"
