HIGHWAY BARRIER
 CAUSE OF ACTION
New York Couple Claims Blockade Has Damaged
 Property; Asks $5,OO0 !.

Alleging that the defendants con- structed a barrier across public highway, George F. Brennan and Mary Brennan of New York filed suit in superior court today against Howard G. B. Clark and Althea Clark of southbury. The New York couple ask damages of $5,000, 8 mandatory injunction ordering the removal of the barrier, and Q tenn porary injunction.
 The writ, drawn by Attorney James Mcknight of Mascolo, Mo- Knight and Dauch, charged that on March 15, 1887, the defendants erected a fence across the Poota- tuck South Britain Road, in South bury. The road had been public highway, says the writ, and the de- fendants had no right to prevent others from using 1t.
 Because of the fence, says the plaintiffs, they have been handi- capped in reaching their property, and their property has declined in value. They allege that the de- fendants have not compiled with demands that the barrier be taken down, and the road be opened for public travel.
 A hearing on the appeal for 8 temporary injunction will be held before Judge Kenneth Wynne in superior court at noon Friday.
