Ruling Of Superior
 Court Set Aside By
 Unanimous Opinion
Another Court Chapter to Be Written on Litigation
 Over Alleged ZOning Violation; Chief Justice Malt <. bic Writes High Courts Opinion

Error found by the Sate Supreme Court of Errors in Hartford today in the Superior Court decision returned nearly two years ago in favor of East End property owners in their long drawn out light against extension of the East Main Street business into the Wales Street residential section. The high court in unanimous decision sets aside the Superior Court judgment and remands the case tC the lower court with direction
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-03-21

The Zoning litigation was 1nSti- tuted in May, 1940, by Henry Cor den of 29 Wales street and several other residents of the community after the Waterbury Zoning Board of Appeals permitted the Sycamore corporation of West Hartford tc build an addition to it's building at the corner of East Main and Wales streets, which houses the First Ma tional super-market.
 The property owners. backed by the East End Community club, took their appeal to superior court, where a decision was returned 1p their favor by Judge John A. Cor nell on June 26, 1942. An appeal to the high court was then taken by the owner of the building and by the city zoning board.
 Tn the decision handed down to- day, the Hartford court rules plea in abatement made by the owner of the building should have been sus- tained, and remands the case on that error. Tn the plea of abate- ment the defendant claimed that no sufficient bond was taken from the plaintiffs, and the high court upholds that contention, ruling that a demurrer made by the plaintiffs to the plea should have been over ruled by the presiding jurist, Judge Carl Poster.
 Although error is found i'll the decision on preliminary pleadings of the litigation, the high court neVerthleSS expresses It's opinion on the man issue in the case. rul- ing there was error also in the final conclusions. Ordinarily a finding of error on the preliminary aspects would offset the necessity of an opinion on the appeal itself.
 Chief Justice Writes
 In the memorandum of decision, written by Chief Justice William M. Maltbic, it is stated in regard to the plea of abatement, "The (plaintiffsD appeal contained only a recognizance of an individual without any surety, that the plain tifYs would prosecute the appeal to effect and pay the costs for which judgment might be rendered against them. While it is not easy to see why, on an appeal taken by property owners, as is the one be- fore us, such bond is necessary we can lind no basis for reading an exception into the statute. The failure of the plaintiffs to file a bond of the character specified was sound ground for the abatement of the appeal.'
 In explaining why an opinion is given on the main point at issue the high court points out that the plaintiffs may be able to file an amendment curing the defect. that the appeal has been fully argued in Hartford on it's merits, and that dismissal of the appeal, if the plaintiffs are not able to amend, would leave the officers of the city in a position where the judgment CS the trial court as to the meaning of the zoning ordinance would be their only guide.
 Discussing in detail the meanings of lot, corner lot. and interior lot the high court rules Judge Cornell erred in defining the particular tract of land involved in the litiga- tion. The definition was the basis of the decision made in favor of the East End residents.
 Judge Cornell had ruled the Syca- more Corporation land was not 8 lot within the section of the zon-

Boston Gift Nod ForMeII

Boston, Sept. 22-(UP)-Though apparently outpointed in seven rounds, Gus Nell, l35, of Montreal held 6 unanimous decision today over Charley (Cabby) Lewis, l27h, of New York, who was dropped for 6 six-count in the final seven rounds of their lo-round boxing match at Boston Garden.
 A raucous booing from e goodly share of the 4,1Sl fans followed last nights decision for Nell who Seen- ingly was able to take only three rounds by narrow margins.
 The final punch, Q wild right hook to Lewis jaw, dropped the New York Negro beside the ropes. At the count of six Lewis was on his feet and the bell sounded to end the round and fight. The verdict apparently was based on this punch. Prior to that Lewis had cleanly taken seven rounds and was lead- ing on points in the final Stanza. His sharp left hook cut Mells right eye severely, his body barrages turned Mell,s mid-section . vivid pink and his dancing style made him an almost impossible target for the Canadian to find. Mell's best rounds were the fifth and sev. enth.

Wright Takes
 Mexican, ZovoIo

New York, Sept. X.-(UP)- Chalky Wright, lean and ancient Los Angeles Negro, boaSted Q uylani- nous decision today over Hlmberto Zavala of Mexico, who provided roe bust and bloody opposition last night before o,072 fans at Madison Square Garden.
 There were no knockdownS. But in the eighth round Wright landed Q straight right jolt to Zavala'S chin that knocked his head under the top strand of the ring ropes.
 It was 6 substitute bout because the main go between welterweig91tA Tony JanIro and Johnny Greco, their third or rubber" meeting was postponed because of young Janiro's infected elbow.
 The decision was unpopular. Mex- lean Zavala gained a large follow ing by his game stand during which he suffered a gashed left brow and bloodied mouth during the early Eo- ing. Despite Zavaia's early showing the United Press scored five rounds for favored Wright, three for zavaiw and two even.
