SerVicemon Files Action Against Firm
 Repair Bill Basis
 Of AILeaofions

Peter Schiavo, Thomaston soldier, led a $1,00O civil action in Common Pleas Court today against Gerald Cozzolino, doing business as Jerry's Auto Exchange of Waterbury, and Sheriff Daniel B. Connor of Pros pect. Possession of car by the de- fendants as the result of a repair bill is the basis of the suit.
 The plaintiff points out that bond was substituted last May for an attachment placed several months earlier, but that the defend- ants have failed to return the vehi- cle.
 It is claimed the plaintiff through his wife, Veronica, attempted to pay the repair bill, but the garage re- fused to accept the amount due. The sheriff did not keep the car in his possession, after the attachment was made, but allowed the garage to use 1t and remove parts from it, 1t Is alleged.
 The soldier claims he planned to use the car to go back and forth to his station and also at the sta- tion. The loss of use was worth $l5 a day, he states. He claims the vehicle was worth $500 and that its value depreciated by $200 as the re- suit of removal of parts from 1t.
 Damages of $1 500 were claimed by Myra Pierce of Waterbury in sidewalk fall suit brought against Lawrence Rambo, doing business as the Rambo & Bello Go. of Water bury, and the City of Waterbury.
