PROTEST FILED
ON CANNED FISH
Local Men Reported De-
PENDANTS in OPA's Re-
straining Action

Transporting of home canned fish
into this country over the Canadian
border cannot be effected without
surrender of red ration coupons,
the Vermont state OPA and the
OPA regional headquarters have
ruled, but local men involved in
the transaction have appealed to
national headquarters in Washing
ton, it has been revealed.
The parties in the deal are local
men who went fishing for salmon
in Canada and rather than bring
the fish home in the fresh form
they decided to can it. At the border
they were told the 288 pounds of
salmon can't be transported unless
1886 points are released.
Decision of the authorities was
upheld despite the protests of the
fishermen who claimed the fish was
for home consumption and no sales
transaction was involved. The fish
is still across the border, pending
word from the National QUA head
quarters.

ON FEE CHARGES
Udelowitz' Request for
Definite Stand on ADOLF
ton Unheeded

The Young Republican club
shelved further discussion of the
fee charges at it's meeting last
night despite Edward UdeloWitzs
urgent plea that the club go on rec
ord as demanding the complete
abolition Of any fees charged by
the Republican town committee for
filing in the party primaries. The
Republican town convention will
meet Monday night.
During the meeting, Mr.. UdeloWitz
insisted that the club take a stand
for complete abolition of any pri-
mary fees. He said the club had
taken such a stand at the June

that particular meeting disclosed
that the vote was only recon-
mendation that the fee be reduced.
MI. UdeloWitz argued that the min
utes were incorrectly recorded. He

The invitation of the Colored
Republican club was accepted by

525 Cases Remain On
Superior Court Docket
So Civil Actions Heard During Past Year, Annual
Report of Clerk Indicates; $50 Settled Without Trial

foreclosures are among the cases as
signed for short calendar sessions
many more court hearings resulted
than the trial" figure discloses. Be-
cause of the varied nature and large
number of short calendar hearings
no separate figures are compiled for
the annual report.
Mr.. Mcknight reported that $50
cases were disposed of without trial.
A total of 38 were discontinued,
while others were settled out of
court and withdrawn or were re-
moved through stipulated agree
ments. Three jury cases were with
drawn after trial started and an
other one ended in a mlstrial, the
report shows.
New cases entered during the year
number 1926, with SO of them listed
for jury trial. Forty-five jury cases
and 462 court litigations were car
ried over from the previous year. In
addition to the 20 cases returned to
the jury docket during the year, 16
others, which had been returned for
court trla1 III previous years ana car
ried over, were claimed for the jury
docket.
The court was in session 81 days,
excluding the time spent for short
calendar matters, with AZ days used
for jury hearings and as for cases
presented to the court. Eighteen ad-
ditional days were used for criminal
business exclusively and four more
for naturalization business. On 10
OF the days in which the court sat
for civil business it also disposed OF
criminal matters.
The average time between the re-
turn day and trial was eight days
for jury actions and 14.6 days for
court cases.

Lack of Materials Also Contribute to POstponenent
of Immediate Action; Question of Damages
## Must Be Determined First

action filed in New Haven by Gus
todians of the Kendrick avenue
county property. Under plans made
by the street department IL feet of
the land in front of the county
courthouse building will be taken,
and the commissioners have raised
objections because the cit. will pay
no damages for using the land.
The complaint filed by the COM
missioners states the ctiy's assessors
erred in estimating the damages to
the county to equal the benefits. A
change of counsel, however, has
slowed down the assignment of a
hearing, and it has been indicated
an "amicable" settlement may yet
be effected without necessity of jul
dicial aid.
Occupation of the street depart
ment with other projects in various
parts of the city also has offset
early action on Kendrick avenue
work, it is reported. Shortage OF
labor likewise has prevented the
taking of steps to put the plans in
force.
At the present time part of the
county courthouse land is being lev
eled so a new lawn may be set and
a portion in the rear may be used
as a parking lot for employees in the
building. The land at the side of
the court building was the site of a
large tenement building, which was
torn down last year when it was
ruled the county would have to pay
taxes. 1t is believed the lot may be
used eventually for courthouse pur-
poses, in the event larger building
is needed.
