New Trial Sought In
 Zoning Litigation
Counsel for West Hartford Corporation Asks Judg-
 ment on Supreme Court Decision

tion of West Hartford and the City Zoning Board of Appeals for a judgment in their favor in the long drawn-ou litigation. Decision was reserved by Judge Prank P. McEvoy.
 Attorney John H. Cassidy. appear ing for the Hartford concern, stated judgment should be entered in the defendants favor in view of the decision of the state supreme court of errors in Hartford last week. In that decision, error was found in preliminary pleadings in the case and also in the judg- ment of Judge John A. Cornell who in June, 1942, ruled in favor of Henry Corden and the other East End residents.
 The litigation originated when the city Zoning board of appeals permitted the Hartford concern to make an addition to its building at the corner of East Main and Wales street. The building houses the First National Super-Market. Resi- dents of Wales street objected and started the court action.
 Today Attorney Lawlor, who ap- pears for the plaintiffs, stated he is ready to file an amendment to correct the defect in pleadings, found by the high court. He stated there were issues in the case, other than those ruled on by the Hart ford court, and that the litigation should be allowed to continue.
 The plaintiffs counsel stated the questions of parking difficulties and fire hazard enter into the matter, and the conditions created by the extension of the business area into Wales street were important in the case. He stated the plaintiffs wished to have new trial on the issues.
 Attorney Cassidy referred to the high courts ruling that the lot in question was lot" within the meaning of the zoning ordinance and not a corner lot" as ruled by Judge Cornell. In concluding his statements, he read to the court original verse titled, When Is a Lot Not a Lot"

Not Good Business for Connecticut Proposed Unnecessary and Unwarranted In- crease in State Gasoline Tax to 4 Cents a
 Gallon"-A. J. Bernard, Chairman
 State Petroleum Committee

Hartford, March 29-A. J. Ber- nard, chairman of State Petroleum Industries committee announced here today the active support of the organization in behalf of the effort to defeat the gasoline tax in- crease which is soon to be consid- cred by the legislature.
 "Oil men generally throughout Connecticut, MT. Bernard said, "are gladly joining their customers, the truckers, farmers, manufactur- CTS, business men and "A" card holders in support of the A. L. A. campaign against the imposition of this unnecessary and unwarranted increase in the state gasoline tax to 4c gallon. The record is plain mo increase of rates are needed to produce ample revenues to fi-. nance postwar road construction as authorized and planned under the Federal Road Aid Act.
 Why anyone would advocate. tax increases during this critical war period, to raise funds which can not be spent until long after the war is over, is entirely beyond my understanding. It is most ill-advis- td to say the least" he added. When these funds are not neces- sary at all, the case against the proposal is overwhelming and should be so admitted by the sponsors"
 This is no idealistic dream with men and women who import, dis tribute and merchandise petroleum products" MT. Bernard said. We know what the imposition of this needless tax will mean-not just

the loss of business to us, but in- creased transportation costs on practically everything we eat or wear, as well as the manufactured products we in Connecticut largely depend on for prosperity. We say we can not afford to needlessly burden our people and place them at a greater disadvantage in con- peting with plants pin other states.
 We are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars annually to hold our mills and factories here. We should not nullify this fine work by penalizing shippers and those employed in our plants by increas- ing an already excessive t33 1-3%) sales tax on an item so universally essential" he said. Tt is not good business for Connecticut"
