Representative Wortman of Bethel, has been re'nominated by the Republi- cans Of that town, where a Republican caucus settles those things, and the 'election is merely an unnecessary for- mality.

He explains that they are being made for a Japanese woman liv- ing in New York city who, has lost her husband, and, according to the custom by staining her teeth black. Her teeth are artificial, so she is having a special set made which she can wear until her period of mourning is over and then lay aside for future use. The order for these teeth was taken by a New York dentist, who is a friend of the Danbury dentist, and he turned the job over to the latter, who wished to do it as a. nov- l elty.——7News. , ’1‘ doubles by Miss Lockwood and Miss. of that natiOn, must go into mourning“, Huntington, l Election.

WheelerOf the Supeiji- . or court handed down a decision Tues- day denying the motion to dissolve the "injunction brought by Joseph A. Gray against Ephraim Thames and. others, selectmen of the town of Norwalk. The case was heard 'a week ago by Judge Wheeler. Attorney Joseph A. Gray obtained a temporary injunction restraining the town of Norwalk from selling bonds to the amount of $300,000 to Far-son, Leach & Co., New York- bankers. The selectmen awarded them the bonds because they were the high- est bidders, but after the award was made,o'.'Mr. Gray, in the interest of Harris & Co. of New York, offered _ $300 more than Farson, Leach & Co. M r. Gray, in the injunction proceed- ings, made the claim that the warning for the town meeting at which the town voted to issue $300,000 bonds were defective, and that the call was not signed by the selectmen as required by law. The names of the selectmen were printed upon the call, they having or. dered the clerk to issue it. ' . Judge Wheeler’s memorandum occu pies a dozen type-written pages. He discusses the matter of the warning, and concludes that it was within the power of the town meeting to have rec- tified any error made but not having done so, the court ought not to inter- fere in the judgment of that meeting. As to the selling of public bonds, he holds that they should be disposed of to the highest bidder, and no discretion given public Officials. . As to the signature of the call, the court finds that it was clearly illegal. The law plainly says that the select- men shall sign the call. He holds that they cannot delegate this powerto another, as was done in this case. For this reason he denies the motion of Attorney Warner, counsel for the town, . for a dissolution of the injunction.- 1 In referring to the bond issuing feat- ure of the case Judge Wheeler avails himself of an opportunity to admonish public servants that it is clearly their duty to guard well the interests of the community which they represent. He says officials are not to disremrd hus- iness principles in these matters even if the people have put implicit faith in them. He says further: “Sound public finance demanded that these bonds should be sold to the highest bidder and that their sale should not be left to the discretion of public officials who might sell to some favored banker at l less than the market price of the bonds.” ‘ The decision will compel the select~ men of Norwalk to call another meet~ ing and do the business all over again. 3.
