Seek Ruling On Legacy 

Interpretation of the will of the late Thomas s. Tovey of Middle bury, who died in 1914, is sought fin an action filed in Superior Court yesterday by the Colonial Trust Company, trustee under the will.
 Mr. TOvey provided for payment of the net income from the estate to the Naugatuck Day Nursery. He provided that payment should be made to the Methodist Church in Middlebury if the nursery was dis- continued. The residue of the es- tate was left to the Waterbury Hos- pitaI.
 The nursery was discontinued June 10. The Middlebury church was discontinued in 1922, but the funds obtained when the church was discontinued were transferred to the West Side Hill Methodist Church in Waterbury.
 The bank seeks clarification as to who should receive payments from the estate.
