This action was instituted by the
plaintiff for the purpose of estab-
fishing the legality or illegality OF
the installation and operation of
parking meters, so called, not only
in Waterbury but in all of the mu-
inequalities in this state, with the
result that the City of Waterbury
and the said municipalities and the
public at large have benefited by
this proceeding because it has es-
tablished by this tribunal that the
installation and operation parking
meters is in accordance with law"
He continued, This action pro-
ceeded Or the said basis that the
plaintiff was in reality actiong as a
public spirited citizens for the ben

law of the use of highways for the
installation and operation of park
ing meters" He adds, IF the plain
tiff Is penalized for his interest in
the public welfare"
Mr.. Cassidy said the corporation
counsels Office has presented the
court costs bill to him and has in

Requests by the Better Race

Chairman Verriker explained
yesterday that the difficulty in

appoint a colored man just be-
