_ In looking through some or the re
‘ ports of State departments the thought
occurs to one that it is a pity there is
not some official with whom the heads
of the departments could confer as to
the character of the matter which goes
into the reports. These are pages no
carried with merest trash. and it is im-
possible to conceive of its publication
doing any one good except the print
or. and the benefit which he derives
is entirely pecuniary and not intellec-
tual.~ But for the popular objection
to the creation of additional offices
and commissions the creation of the
odlce of State editor might be sugges-
ted. wiiartford Times.

A Memory and Tribute to Its Author,
Hon. Dudle P. Ely. its First Mayor.
Editor Sent nel:
i read with interest the proceedings
of the city meeting of Monday evens
log. 1 was much surprised at the
position taken by General Frost on
the question of consolidation, which,
if eflected. would doubtless lake away
our fair name, and one that has caused
us such a hard struggle to obtain and
maintain. l contrast his position with
that of his father in -lsw. the late May
or Dudley P. Ely. the real father of
our present prosperous city.
As i remember it was through his
untirlng efforts. when mayor. the
name of South Norwslit was substi-
tuted for that of Norwalk on the time-
tables of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad; also. it was
through his eiforts the word “South"
was prefixed to the nume'lf Norwalk
on the sign over the door of the old
South Norwslk station. He was
strongly oppOsed by the people or the
then borough of Norwellr; so much so.
as i remember. a compromise was tin
ally agreed upon that the old sign
should main over the door, and a
patch wi h the word "South" added to
the sign. He. however. insisted thai
the name of South Norwaik should
appear on the timetables. and at tho
depot and he succeeded in bringing
these two things about.
Mayor My was ever loyal to Bouth’
Norwslli i can see him now, at every
outdoor function. with his beautiful
four-in-hand jet black horses, hand»
comely caper-leaned, leading the pro
sessions. it cost something in the
early days. ‘as it does now. to stand
up for South Norwslit. Mayor Ely was
a faosighted and sagesious business
man. and saw the possibilities of
South Norwallt. Would that he was
with us now. if we are compelled to
drop the name, we should erect a men
ument or tablet to him who had the
courage of his convictions, and left
us such a blessed and glorious leg.
acy. llut such is the irony of fate.
1 road the proceedings of the eel
ing Monday night very carefully. and
if mrreetly reported feel that Mr. Gol-
den had much the better and fairer
argument. and save us all much to
think of and ponder over. before We
take any chances whatever to jeopar-
dize the flattering prospects of our
city.

Stats Court oi Appeals Reverses
iudamsnt In ease of Specta-
tor Killed on Staten island
.. Iw—wlma V...
According:) to a decision just handed
dowu by 0 lot Judge longer M. (lul-
ion of the State Court of Appeals. in
the case at John Bogart, who was irill~
ed at the automobile races held on *Stn-
ten island, on May ill. 1902. the City
of New York is not liable for damages
to the man's daughter because of his
death.
Judge Cullen says:--»—-"Whlle u muni-
cipalitiy has no lawful risht to author-
ize an automobile club to conduct con
tests on a public highway. yet one who
goes there mt as a traveler or to use
the highway for highway purposes. but
to witness the speed contests. and is
injured from being run into by a racing
car, cannot. nor can his representa-
tive. in the absence of any proof of
negligence. maintain an action against
the municipality for the injury."
it is held in effect that if Mr. Bogart.
had been traveling on the highway at
the time he was killed, in the ordinary
pursuit of his business, the action
would stand. But the Board of Alder-
men. in the opinion of. Judge Cullen.
the other judges concurring. was not,
authorised to grant permission to the
Automobile Club of America to bold
are races. and therefore any person
going to the scene for the
purpose of witnessing the speed con- i
test could not hold the oltv rosponsi
bit in the case of injury.
in the original suit brought by Miss
Mary C. Bogart, as administratrix of
the dead man's estatethe jury found
in favor of the plaintiff. and fire judit~ ‘.
ment entered was smrmed by the A1»
pellnle Division or the Supreme Court
“We are unable." adds Judge Cullen,
"to find in tin? record any evidencei
whatever to sustain the conclusion of'
the jury that the plaintiff at the time
of the accident was a traveler upon a
highway. There is no evidence that he
was on his way to Midland Beach, or
that he was stopping at the Boulevard
centrally waiting for a car on which to
continue his journey. The remrd be-
ing wholly without evidence to sustain
the verdict of the jury, the judgment
must be reversed."
