TEMPLETON WINS
POINT IN SUIT
Demurrer Filed By Water*
bury Savings Bank Over*
ruled By Judge Daly
The Waterbury Savings Dank's
claim that the Information In a civil
action brought by the Charles A.
Templeton, Inc., to recover interest
"mistakingly" paid on a mortgage
was not legally sufficient has been
denied by Judge Edward J. Daly who
held a hearing April 25 In superior
court on a demurrer filed by the
bank.
According to the complaint the
company paid 5!4 per cent Interest
on a $15,000 mortgage from 1916
through 1941 and then discovered In
1941 that the mortgage called for
only 5 per cent interest.
Atty. William W. Gager, counsel
for the bank argued at the hearing
that the company shared equally in
making the mistake and held that
interest at 5 per cent could not have
been expected by the company for
such a long period of time. He
pointed out that Interest rates fluc
tuate considerably over a 25 year
period and that the company was tai
reality paying a Justified amount.
Since the note was a demand note,
it was argued, the plaintiff accept
ed the 5Va rate as a means for ex
tending the mortgage period.
Atty. William Secor, who repre
sented the plaintiff company pointed
out that the mortgage itself called
for 5 per cent Interest and tha un
less a legal change had been made
the amount could not eb altered by
the company for any reason.
No date for a hearing on the
action has been set.
