practicing Hartford attorney, was dis
barred from further practice in a de-
cision filed with the Clerk of the
Court Wednesday afternon by Chief
Judge G. Gus Grason and Associate
Judge j. Howard Murray.
Their opinion said: 1.-The profess
sional misconduct of Broumel was so
fragrant and far-reaching in it's conse-
quences that we are required to dis
bar him from practicing further and
it will be so ordered" and ''it was a
grievous and serious offense for
which there can be no palliatlon nor
excuse"
Mr.. Broumel had been charged by
the Hartford County Bar Association
with professional misconduct aud
perpetrating a fraud. Their petition

known. Broumel is said to have re-
ceived a SIS fee from the soldier.
Brodmel admitted the general
specifications of the charges at hear

line running north and south
through the heart of Ohio can be
no more than 25 per cent complet-
ed this season.
A survey just completed has
disclosed that more gas heating
installations have been made in
some areas than the capacity of
the companys street minis can
serve adequately.
"TheSe reasons have prompted
the decision to discontinue the
sale of gas heating equipment to
those having other forms of heat
ing, at least for the coming sea-
son." Mr.. Miller stated. "ReSpon-
sible heating contractors and deal
ers are cooperating by adopting
this plan. The plan has been clear

mission of Ohio.
customers, who now have bona
fide orders for gas heating equip
ment on file with the Gas company
or with heating contractors filing
with the Gas company, will be-
protected under this new policy.
The reason for this is because such
persons have lost their place in
line for re-ordering the fuel they
have been using"
Mr.. Miller said during periods
of severe weather this winter, it
most likely will be necessary to
curtail industries using gas in
their manufacturing processes. EV-
en- with this relief, it is possible
that some areas will experience
low gas pressures if outside tenn
peratures become too low.

intend to cooperate fully by MAX

be made available for new build

heating equipment, has been taken
in past weeks, some as early as
last spring, by big companies serv-
ing Chicago, Detroit, Milwaukee
and other large areas, Mr.. Miller
concluded.
