BELIEVES GOVERNOR MUST AP POINT IP LEGISLATURE PAILS TO MAKE PROVI SION FOR VACANCIES. . Hartford, March 5 Attorney Gen eral Light, has given to Senator Mc IDonough, the Senate leader an opinion as to the power of the Governor to appoint Judges Of the minor courts fn case the General Assembly fails to appoint successors of the judges now holding Office. The opinion is in line with one he gave two years" ago in the case of Judge llathewaon, of the New Haven city court. It was under stood that the Democrats are to ask the attorney general for an opinion along the same lines as to the . right of the Governor J: to appoint county commissioners in case the legislature falls to -elect. The opinion of Mr. Light follows: "Dear Sir: You ask my opinion on the question, should the General As Jtembly failto make appointments to the office of judges of the aeveral city, borough and town courts do the present incumbents hold over until the next assembly or can the Governor make apopintments to fill the . vacan cies? "Article 30, of amendments of the statutes of this state provides that 'Judges of the city courts and police courts shall be appointed for terme of two years. But - in every ' case where the legislature has made the appointment of city or police v court judges it has provided that such Judges shall hold office for at leaet two years an-d until his successor is elected and qualified. It is clear therefore that the legislature has added an addition al contingent term to the original term of two years fixed - by the constitu tlon. If such a law be constitutional there i nothing to prevent the judge irom , holding office under one ap pointment for four years or more and In fact suoh: judges have been known to hold; over for' two. years making their respective terms four years in stead of two. The statutes authoris ing such Judges to hold'; over for a period of two years are clearly uncon stitutional. The legislature , has , no more right to add a provision of that kind to the definite language of the constitution !: than It has to disregard any of its expres mandates." , - "Wherever- the legislature creates an office and fixes Its term It may prop erly provide that the incumbent shall hold oyer until his successor Is duly elected and qualified but where the term is fixed by the constitution the legislature has no authority to add a contingent term thereto. : It ie sig nificant of the Intention of the mak ers of the constitution that in fixing the terms of all executive officers they attaohed thereto, the provision that such officers should 'hold until their successors - are duly qualified, while in the same instrument . they -omitted that clause from the terms fined for Judges.- This -distinction' clearly points to the fact tha.t it was in tended that a judge should not hold over after, the expiration of his term. "The law makes ample provision for the calling in of another judge in, .ease of disqualification or vacation. The constitution Is a. limitation of power and where it- provides , affirmatively what shall -be done by the legislature In a number of cases it carries with it the implied provision against, doing things in any other ' way. "Now by adding ' to the fixed con stitutional term of two years the con tingent legislative term which,, enables an incumbent to hold over "until his successor is elected and qualified' can it be said that a Judge is holding. over as a oe jure officer? . "If so there would toe no . vacancy for i the Governor to fill or vacancy in the office except only where there Is no person authorised by law to dis charge the duties of the office. A judge de facto may render, valid Judgments- under the semblance of the authority given by an -unconstitutional law and at the same time there would be a constructive vacancy according ly due to the fact that he is not a de Jure judge. . Therefore, If the General Assembly falls to appoint, I am of the opinion that such offices will become vacant de Jure and then the Gover nor may fill the same -under authority of Chapter 233 of the acts of 1907." i AN EPIDEMIC OF OOTOHTJfG is sweeping over the town and young and old ate alike affected.

Ai revised estimate of the loss resulting from the total destruction by fire early to day of St. Paul's Roman Catholic church, with a large part of its fur nishings, in the Kensington District, places it at tl5,000. . The fire started In the vestry room, spread rapidly, and for a time threatened the rectory and other buildings close by. Efforts of local , fire companies, aided by one from New Britain, confined the flames to the church. Eev. J. C. Brennan, the pastor; saved the sacrament from the altar at the risk of his life. The edifice was erected about thirty years ago and served a parish of be tween 600 and 700 people. The origin of the fire has not been determined and Father Brennan stat ed this morning that he was unable to give any explanation of it. Services were held in the church last evening, closing somewhat after 8 o'clock, no one toeing in the edifice after that. The fire broke out shortly after mid night, and it is thought it may have been smouldering in the vestry for several hours. ' v POWER CO.

Adv. JUDS0N MUST START ANEW AGAINST PECK Technical Victory for Judge cf Probate When Charges Are Dismissed Probate Judge Charles H. Peck of Stratford against whom charges were recently . filed by - the grievance com mittee of the Fairfield county bar won a temporary victory in the superior court this morning when Judge Burpee granted the motion to dismiss the grievance committee's report. The decision was grounds. granted technical Attorneys -DeForest & Klein, repre senting Judge Peck, moved that the report be dismissed upon the ground that the membership of the commit tee was not regularly constituted, be cause Attorney John C Chamberlain had replaced Attorney C. S. Canfleld The latter felt that he was disquali fied and did not think he ought to eat. After he heard the court's decision State's Attorney Stiles Judson an nounced that he will immediately file new charges against.. Judge Peck, as he is authorized to do under xhe law, The grievance committee based its report on alleged irregular dealings by Judge Peck in handling the Susan M. B. Perry estate in the Stratford probate , court. Nelson ' Ni, Perry Francis W. t Perry i and Isabelle M. Beach, heirs of .the Perry estate, claimed that Judge Peck, among other things, made a charge of $750 for legal services which he claimed ;were nec essary. On further Investigation ' It was alleged that Judge Peck himself performed the services for which he made the charge. In his memorandum Judge Burpee says in part: This purports to be the presentment made by the grievance committee of the Fairfield- county ba.r, but it ap pears plainly that it is not the regu- lar Fairfield county committee that Is acting but some special committee which has assumed the name ' of grievance committee of the Fairfield county1 bar. It does not appear that any rights of this defendant would be denied to him in any substantial way. It seems plain that the defendant would have a fair hearing or " op portunity to be heard. Still, if technl cal . rules are to be applied as lndi cated in the" Ennis case, it would seem, to be safer to sustain the de fendant's motion to dismiss. Techni cally it may be held that this pre sentment is not made - by the : griev ance committee or by any members of , the ; bar by! the ' direction of the court. Certainly it is not made by the state's attorney. -. Technically therefore it may . toe that : it is not made in any way prescribed by the rules of court, page 206. '. Whether or not such a conclusion is proper, it would certainly seem safer in the light of the Ennis case, . to proceed more strictly and technically. No injus tice or considerable inconvenience will follow the presentment in such a way. The motion to dismiss, is granted. HANDSOME ALTARS FOR ST.
