 land is damaged, Conrad W. Wegner, 

 who runs a small florists place in this 

 town, has brought his case to trial in 

 the Superior court. It seems that 

 Wegner's place is much lower than 

 the roadway of Linden and Noroton 

 avenues. When the town fixed up 

 these highways water worked Into

 is not the case. This will continue to 

 be owned by him as proprietor and 

 will not be taken into the company. 

 They expect to proceed along con- 

 servative lines, growing only such
