Liens Filed By City
 Held To Be Invalid
Judge Foster Rules on Case Involving Improvements on Congress Avenue; Two Other Decisions Rendered

Began and others, in which Mrs. Heady had sought $500 damages, the foreclosure of a mortgage, and possession of the premises in ques- tion, in Cottage Park.
 The demand of the plaintiff was complicated by the fact that the land in question had changed hands twice since the mortgage was drawn up, and the defendant Frank Began and his wife had guaranteed the payment of the note to the Citizens and Manufacturers National Bank, which was trustee for the plaintiffs investment.
 Judge Foster said, however, that in the opinion of the Court, there was no consideration for the prom ise of the defendants, and that hence they were not liable. William w. Gager was attorney for the plaintiff, and Attorney Frederick c. Bauby and Alber w. Hummel for the defense.
 In the case of John and Jennie Massimo against the City of Wa terbury, the judge found that the liens filed against the plaintiffs by the city were invalid, and ordered them to be recorded as such on the city's land records. MasSimo and others had petition ed the aldermen to lay out a curb and sidewalk on Congress avenue. The matter was turned over to the board of works, which proceeded to do the work, and then filed liens against the property of the plaintiff, to pay for it, amounting to more than $l48. The plaintiffs asked $1,- | GOO damages, as we'll as a declara- tion that the liens were invalid. Judge Foster adjudged the liens in- valid, but granted no damages. In a disputed case concerning the will of Ellen Donovan, brought by Thomas F. Morris, administrator, against Bessie G. Coyle and others, | the judge ruled that the legacy of Marie Donovan Sullivan had lapsed, and should be distributed as inteS- tate estate under the laws of Con- necticut.
 In this case, Thomas Morris, ad- ministrator of the estate of the late Ellen Donovan had summoned all the heirs as defendants, to appear in court, and set forth their claims and demands.
 The situation was complicated by the fact that Ellen Donovan drew up her will on October 28, 1928, leaving all her property to two sis terS. Sarah Jane Morris of Water bury, and Maria Donovan Sullivan of Brooklyn, N. Y, ito them and their heirs absolutely A third sis ter, Bessie Coyle, was not mention ed at all
 On February 10, l939 Ellen Don- ovan died, but her sister Maria had already died, leaving only a hus- band. A second sister, Sarah died on July 5, 1889, leaving a son and three daughters.
 It was contended by the husband of Maria Sullivan that there had been ill feeling between the testa- trix and Bessie Coyle, and that there was no intention that she should get anything, as would happen if the legacy of Maria Sullivan were de- clared to have lapsed.
 Judge Foster ruled that the leg acy had lapsed, and must be dis tributed intestate. He also provided for awards, out of the estate, to cover the court expenses which each of the parties involved had incur red in the present case.

FLYNN STRIKES
 WILLKIE AGAIN

New York, Sept. 6-UP)--Ed- ward J. Flynn, just back from a conference with President Roose- welt in Washington, said today that Wendell L. Willkie, Republican presidential nominee, and his back CTS sought a return to the days prior to 1892 when the capital of the United States was not i'll Wash mgton but in Wall Street"
 The Democratic national chair man answered Republican charges that President Roosevelt aspired to a dictatorship with the remark that Willkie apparently wanted to see a dictatorship of money" set up in the United States.
 Flynn said he had reported to the president on progress of the cam paign and that MT. Roosevelt ap- peared to have the utmost confi- dence that he would be reelected in November

Spirit of England

Three English refugees, mother and her two small children, are staying at the home of Morris Fein, 75 Hill street, where they ar- rived two days ago. The three are Mrs. Alma Fine, a daughter, Jill, 5; and son, John, 3. MT. Fein is the uncle of Mrs. Fines hus- band.
 The spirit in England is still holding up. says Mrs. Fine, and air raid alarms are now taken as everyday occurrences. Food is plentiful, she said, and every where there is the belief that eventually Britain will win the war.
 Mrs. Fine and her two young sterS arrived in America three weeks ago on the Brittanic, and visited in New York before com ing to Waterbury. MT. Fine, still in England, is head of a chain of food stores.

which has made it possible to se- cure all the necessary information about their alien workers in ad- vance.
 William J. Phelan, director of the project, said today that num- Der of interesting people have ap- peared at the post office for the registration, some of them persons from out of town, taking advan- tage of the fact that they are per- mitted to register at any post off, flee in the country, to avoid pulp lcity in their own towns.
 One genial Italian woman came to the office today, and was having her answers reviewed by one of the staff at the office. When he ques- tioned her about each of the an- sWers on the written form, instead of saying yes, it was true, she said instead You said it, kid" Accord ing to the reviewer, this sounded very funny after two dozen repeti- tionS.
 Only two persons have as yet been registered who refused to take the oath that their state ments were correct, and both of these were allowed by MT. Phelan to affirm the truth of the state ments instead, as their convictions kept them from taking an oath.

The 10O-mark in the alien regis tration here was passed yesterday afternoon, and the project was well started on its second thousand registrants at noon today, with an additional 65 non-citizens taken care of so far this morning. The 1,O0Oth alien was registered on the 10th day of the project, and the eighth day on which the office was actually open for business. At that rate, the staff should have no diffl- culty in completing the survey here on time, even if there should prove to be 10000 aliens in the city, as the highest estimates pre- dict.
 The local project will also be greatly speeded up by the cooper ation of the Waterbury factories,

man battle against all these commits
sions and boards. Whenever one was
proposed, or whenever it was pro-
posed to increase the power and
scope of one, he would first fight the
whole scheme, then seek to have his
county exempted.
He made himself decidedly NUS
ance to the lobbyists for the trade
groups and, often, to his Senate col
leagues, but before the session was
over, there was much evidence that
he had made quite an impression.
In the House there was the big
dry cleaners" fight in which the re-
gulators scarcely got even a draw.
During the debates there became APP
parent a strong tide of resentment
against the regulatory bodies.
Still later there was ringing SUI
preme court decision written by Jus
tice NJ V. Barnhill in plumbers"
case, from Asheville. There was, too,
the decision invalidating the Social
ed Real Estate Commission.
In short, there was definite turn
of the tide. All evidences are that
the current is still running in North
Carolina very strongly against the
policy Of turning over to trade guilds,
so to speak, the power to determine
who shall be allowed to work at the
trade. There has developed the
strong belief that these groups are
obviously monopolistic and are much
more concerned with hogging the
whole works for themselves than
with rendering any service of value
to the general public.
So in all probability the coming
General Assembly session will see
the lobbyists working hard against
legislation designed to provide for
strict accountability of all trade and
professional regulatory and eXamin-
ing boards and authorities, rather
than pressing drive for extension
of their powers and loosening Of the
restrictions on handling of funds.
