Motions In East End Zoning Case Slated For Presentation
Plaintiffs Seeking
To Amend Complaint
In Respect To Bond
Defendant to Petition for Judgment in Accordance
With Opinion Recently Expressed By State
Supreme Court; Wide Interest in Case
Two motions have been scheduled for presentation in
Superior Court tomorrow morning in the East End zoning
litigation, one of them a plaintiffs’ motion for permission
to amend the original writ and the other a defendants’
motion for judgment on its plea in abatement.
me motions are me result ui a
decision returned by March 21 by
the State Supreme Court of Errors
In the litigation which was started
nearly five years ago. The plaintiffs
are Henry Corden, Helen Meridas,
and Prank Gaglione, listed as Wales
street property owners, while the
defendants are the Sycamore Corp
oration of West Hartford, owner of
the buildings at the corner of East
Main and Wales street, and the City
Zoning Board of Appeals.
Permission by the city zoning
board for erection of an addition to
the building which houses the First
National store was the basis of the
litigation.
The high court ruled the plaintiffs
had not filed a proper bond in in
stituting the action and held that
the trial court should have sustained
the defendants' plea in abatement
in regard to the bond and should
have overruled the plaintiffs’ de
murrer to the pica. Reference was
made, however, to the possibility the
plaintiffs may be able to correct the
defect on the bond.
In their motion the plaintiffs seek
to amend their complaint by enter
ing a paragraph about a bond. The
defendants in their motion ask for
a judgment in their favor on the
plea of abatement in accordance
with the opinion of the Supreme
Court.

LEGION OPPOSES
SUBSTITUTE BILL
State Commander Emati’
u el son Gives Objection of
Executive Committee
New Haven, Conn., April 12 —
The American Legion’s Connecticut
Department, with its thousands of
members, today went on record as
vigorously opposing the substitute
bill for House Bills 592 and 593 as
serting that the measure, if passed,
would not only lower state pharma
ceutical standards, but would be
unfair to the large number of reg
istered pharmacists in the armed
forces.
Herbert L. Emanuelson, Depart
ment Commrmder, told John J.
Dugan, chairman of the Connecti
cut Association for the Advance
ment of Profesisonal Pharmacy’s
Public Relations Council, that his
organization had advised the Li
censed Occupations Committee of
the State Legislature of the Ameri
can Legion’s bitter feeling toward
the substitute bill.
Tire Ccunecticut American Legion
Commander declared, ’Please be
advised that the Department Execu
tive Committee of the American
Legion for the State of Connecti
cut voted unanimously to oppose this
proposed legislation.
"The American Legion feels that
to enact this legislation at the pres
ent time would be unfair to the large
number of registered pharmacists in
the service of our country. That
there is i'o imperative need for the
bill and that if the legislation is at
all required it can be adequately
handled by the General Assembly of
1947 when the greater part of the 300
hundred registered pharmacists will
be home from serving their country.
Then they, too, will have an oppor
tunity to express themselves on thie
subject, as a great many have
alredy done to the American Legion
in oppos ng this bill.
“To pass this bill at this time
would be to penalize the pharma
cists serving their country in all
parts of the world by jeopardizing
their interests without an oppor
tunity to be heard.’’

POULTRY PRICES
HERE IRREGULAR
Rationing Board Chairman
Warns of Illegal Prices
Being Charged
Poultry prices head the Waterbury
War Price and Rationing Board>
list of "out-or-line" items this week
according to Chairman Lawrence L
Lewis who advised housewives to br
‘on their guard against over
charges.”
Spot checks of the live poultry
market particularly, has revealec1
numerous illegal asking prices, some*
nearly 100 per cent over the legal
ceiling of 41 cents a pound for broil
ers. fryers and roasters, the chair
man added.
Already “this board as well as
others in Connecticut" is taking
action against retailers who are us
ing the current shortage of poultry
as a means of making “quick illegal
profits,” he said, adding that Price
Panels in various parts of the State
have collected more than $800 for
such overcharges in the past week
alone.
Consumers were informed by Mr.
Lewis that “a frequent practice
among live poultry dealers who ig
nore ceiling prices appears to be
quoting a price per bird rather than
per pound.” One way to defeat this
Black Marget operation, he suggest
ed, is to "insist that the bird be
weighed and check its price with
the dollars-and-cents ceiling price
chart which all retailers of poultry
are legally required to post on their
premises."

ability were approved as follows:

SHARP DROP IN
LUMBER SUPPLY
Dealers Meet in State Con*
ference Today to Dis
cuss Problems
Directors of the Lumber Dealers
Association of Connecticut are mee■
ing this afternoon at the Hotel
Talt, New Haven, to discus;; prob
lems which all lumber yards art
facing because of the dwindling
supply of various types of lumber
and the increased restrictions im
posed by the War Production Board.
R. P. Bailey, of DeForest &
Hotchkiss, Inc., New Haven, pre.-'
dent of the Association, said today
that restrictions on various kinds of
lumber continue to be tightened,
particularly on the western pines,
such as Idaho White. Sugar ana
Ponderosa, also on certain hard
woods.
Concerning the policy of the
United States Government in ex
porting pre-fabricating houses for
Gieat Britain at a time when the
lumber supply in this country is
far below military and civilian re
quirements, President Bailey maue
public a portion of a communica
tion from J. Philip Boyd, direcioi
of the lumber division of the Wai
Production Board, in which he said.
"Up to this time, and with no ad
ditional demands foreseen lor the
immediate future, the amount of
iumber or prefabricating lumber
items which has been authorized
for export is an extremely small
part of our total supply.
"All these items combined total
less than 300,000,000 feet, or less
than 1 per cent of our total pto
duction in this country. I do not
believe this constitutes an unfair
or unreasonable demand on n.r
forest economy in view of the des
perate needs which it Is partiaay
serving.”
