JUDGE O'SULLIvAN'S DECISION
 (Hartford Times)

Superior Court Judge P. B. O'Sul- livan at New Haven has overruled the demurrers filed by residents of the Saugatuck Valley attacking the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company's att tmept to condemn land for reservoir purposes as illegal.
 Judge O'Sullivan rejected all the arguments raised by the protesters. He held that the company is pro- ceeding in good faith, under com- petent authority conferred by the legislature. He held that necessity for taking the land was established and that the Charter provisions with regard to fixing valuations do not deprive the landowners of the constitutional right of appeal. No constitutional rights are invaded.
 The decision is not at all surpris- ing. Connecticut law is strict in pro- lection of private ownership against the unjust exercise of the power of eminent domain even by the state government itself. It is broad in rec. ognition that public rights are para mount to private rights, that where public necessity demands the tak- ing of private property for public use, just compensation shall be made but the land shall be taken.
 The law further looks to the suh- stance rather than the letter of special laws, construing them ac- cording to their lawful purpose and intent and in the light of constitu- tional provisions, however, the literal words of charters may be framed.
 It would seem that the Saugatuck Valley Association and the land- owners concerned, having had their fair day in court probably will &C., cept without further agitation the rulings now made. Appeal would be the only alternative. Recourse to 1t appears to hold little promise of ad- vantage to those who have been contesting the Bridgeport Hydraulic company's charter amendment of 1927. 4II

A Book a Day
How to Live Better Though Prices Rise

It's going to cost you vastly more to live during the next few years, economists, technical auth critics, private and government agencies agree. And the prediction is supported by retail price increases of from IA to 40 per cent since 1884. In the past year alone retail prices in general have risen 9.2 per cent.
 How to Beat the High Cost of Living" (Simon and Schuster, $l) rolls off the presses, therefore, at an opportune time. In this book, Author Ray Giles points the way to 864 money savers for every day use."
 "One way - and perhaps your only hope of counteracting this general rise in prices," says MT. Giles, "is to manage the family income wisely" Then MT. Giles goes on to declare that not one family in 8 hundred regulates and balances its household budget with much success.
 So he filings the challenge at you in nine amazing chap ters because he tells you how to eat better and save money; how to dress better on less; how to make your shelter dollars go fur ther; how to cut the high cost of heating; how to buy better insur- ance with smaller premium pay- ments, and how to cut the corners generally.
 Moreover, says MT. Giles, these savings do not call upon you to give up any of the good things of life. You won't have to make things at home or turn repair man. You needn't grease your car, or test tooth paste for your moneys worth.
 Want to save $S6 year on milk alone? Want to save hundreds of dollars on taxes? Do you know what simple trick makes sheets last 25 per cent longer? Want to save $100 on that next used car you buy? MT. Giles has spent years finding the answers. And it's not too much to say that every man and woman of moderate means ought to know the answers.-P. F.

According to Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, New England farmers face a serious problem in soil erosion. However, their plight in this respect is not as bad as it is in other sections of the nation. Evidently the Cabinet member wants to warn the. farming population ahead of time so that it can take pre- cautions to prevent what has happened in the Middle and Far West in the last few years. He claims that in 30 years 35,- 100000 acres of land in the United States will be useless. Another Chinese desert in the making!

Residents of Willow street will certainly appreciate the new pavement that is rap idly being laid along the thoroughfare. One side is completed at the top of the hill and the other will be finished shortly. Once the paving itself starts, the work is rapid. The compensations for inconven- fence are so many that most people in another month will probably have forgot ten how long the street actually was torn up and virtually impassable.

William Brosmith came to Hart ford in 1895. The more than forty years that followed before his death produced 8 multitude of significant changes both in the conduct of the insurance business and in the law that governs it. It is safe to say that he contributed more to the in- depreciation of the laws governing insurance in that time than any man in Hartford, if not, indeed, in the country. His knowledge of the law of insurance was unsurpassed. With his fabulous memory, he could apply that knowledge promptly and efficiently. Not only did MT. Bro- smith keep abreast with the steady growth of insurance law, but he played no small part in guiding the

Selected Poem
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
'Ueone Rice Grille, Mount Carmel in the
 New Haven Journal-ourier)

3 Rice Grille, Mount Carmel, in the New Haven Journal-ourier) O I've ironed his suit,
 With world of care, And I've washed his face
 And I've combed his hair And I've patted his arm,
 In brave disguise, When I saw the fright
 In his small boy eyes AS I treasured him,
 And said Goodbye; And he'd never guess
 Of the way that Wept inwardly,
 When he turned his back On his little tin horse
 And his toy racetrack. On his old block castle
 His broken train The cart he loved,
 And the aeroplane. O he has to learn
 How to make his way If he's to grow
 To a man some day; But the hour is bleak
 And more than sad: A schools first day
 For little lad.
