 The arsenal, well within the tar get area, covers 150 acres and pro- duces anti-aircraft guns, artillery, machine guns, rifles, shell cases, bombs and fuses. The plant also contains steel mill, chemical works and research laboratory.

Hundreds of Waterbury property owners are believed to be affected by an appeal to be taken by the City of Watrbury to the State Supreme Court of ETrors from a decision by Common Pleas Court Judge Walter M. Pickett, who yesterday invalidated two Hens held by the city against Russell street property owner.
 The jurist held that Public Act No. 227 of lo45 could not lawfully take away Q vested right which had been given to the property owner by previous legislation pertaining to sewer and highway layout liens.
 Legal circles today held the de- clsicn a significant one since hun- dreds of other sewer and grading leins held against Waterbury prop erty, and perhaps thousands of others throughout the state, may be wiped out if the decision Is Up. held.
 Different Factors
 The litigation was instituted by Ralph Cortigiano, who asked the court to invalidate highway lay- out lien for SIS placed in 1911 against the property, which he bought iii Io43, and Q sewer assess ment lien placed in 1921. The ow11- CT claimed that by force of sibse- quent legislation the liens have be- come invalid and unenforceable.

 1O-Year Limit Fixed
 The 1887 legislative section states that any tax lien upon property which shall have been recorded for more than 10 years shall be iil- valid unless an action of foreclos- ure shall have been started during the I0.year period. If no notice of court action is filed then such @ lien should be marked by the town clerk "discharged by operation oi law" according to the act.
 The amendment of 1043 states "the word tax shall include each property tax and each i1stallment or part thereof and any valid perman- ent improvement lien or assessment of benefits due to municipality"
