Question Was on Approaches.
Which Are a Part of Bridge
Judge M. A. Sbumway yesterday
afternoon dissolved the temporary
injunction which was granted a short
time ago on the motion of Attorney
Perkins, represienting J. lrvlng Dtb
bio. caccutor of the estate of John
ii. Ferris and the Ferris Coal Co,
against the Bridge Construction Com-
mittee. instructed and authorized by
the Town at Norwallt to. build the
Washington street bridge. The in-
junction was prayed out on the
ground that ihe action of the town
necessitated taking some of the. land
of the plaintiffs. for that reason it
necessitated the new layout of a high-
way. and that the town could not go
to that extent. which was the pro
vince of the common council of the
City of South Norwalli. who would
have to assess damages and benefits.
and consequently the arts of the town
in ordering a new bridge. and the so
polntment of is bridge committee was
illegal.
Have Other Remedy.
The claim of Attorneys id. i.. Sco-
iield find .i. S. Seymour, for the town
of Norwalk. was that the land in
question was an approach to the
bridge and not a highway as claimed
by the opinintifl. in other words. the
uupafion fore the court was to de-
cide whether the land in dispute was
an idl’nroach to the bridge or a part
of. the public highways. The court
ruled. after hearing testimony on the
case. that the gull to order a
bridge is) wit isctmen. and
. that under the listings of the state
courts the approaches to the bridges
are a part. of the bridge. and that it
is incumbent on the towns to corn

attorney Perkins asked the court
if he would rotate: the legality of
the proceedings of the town. which
were continued in a number of meat-
ings. Judge Shumwly replied that he
would only consider the matter be
fore him and would not go into the
question. of the legality of the pro-
ce'edidga. its issued an order dis~
solving the injunction.
Mr. Dibbis‘sadiatsmant.
J. Jrvtng Dibble. representing the
Ferris estate. and who is the prsal-
dent and treasurer of the Ferris Post
Company. said today in reference to
the case:
“Our future plans are undecided.
There are normal ways in which we
can continue the litigation if we so
ddlire. it was avim‘cnt to us from
the start that we had no use if the
City of south Not-wail: should decide
to lay out! the street to conform to
the new layout of the bridge. We held
that the town had no authority to do
this, but Judge Shuftmy decided that
the approach was practically s part of
to bridge itself. and therefore the
town had authority our it. We were
merely fighting for slay in the hope
that the city oiDoi would see the
advantage of widening lower Washing-
ton street and so provide a fitting a
plumb to the new structure. The
