SOUTHBURY FILES NOTICE OF APPEAL
Case Presently on File With Clerk of State
 Supreme Court

An appeal by the Town of South bury from a $4,000 jury award for Mrs. Margaret O. Witek Of Oxford has been entered on the March docket of the State Supreme Court of Errors in Hartford, and may be assigned for a hearing shortly.
 The new docket list, released to- day shows 8 continuance has been entered and stipulation has been filed in the case.
 Mrs. Witek, who is the daughter of Deputy Sheriff Chris Olsen, sued the town as the result of injuries sustained Jan. 2l, l942 when her cal skidded on an icy highway in South bury. The first trial, In November 1943, ended in jury deadlock. The second jury to hear the issues re- turned verdict for Mrs. Witek last April.
 Considerable interest has been shown by towns of the state in the case. since the question of road maintenance was raised. The plain tiff claimed the town was obligated to sand the hignway. The defense pointed out it would be impossible to sand all of the highways because of the limited financial appropria- ton for care of roads.
 One of the defense witnesses tes- tified it would cost the Town of Southbury about 5000 annually for complete sanding of the town roads. It was pointed out the town $ population is only l,500, and that the appropriation for care of the roads was only $7500.
 Observers believe the outcome of the case will have a direct bearing on action various towns of the state will take in the future in connec- ton with financing highway main- tenance.
