The plaintiff claims breach of contract and wrong- ful dismissal. The action is the sequel to Ord's dismissal from his position with the Public Utilities Commission of Mit- chell. Following the dismissal, the Mitchell Commission also took pro- ceedings, under the Landlord and Tenants' Act, to have Ord evicted from the residential portion of the Commission's premises in Mitchell. The motion was heard by County Judge James L. Killoran on May 25th. On June 160, judgment was given, granting the motion. Ord appealed, and the appeal was heard in the court of appeal in September. Judgment was reserved by the court of appeal until Friday of last week. In giving judgment.the court of appeal .found that Ord was not en- titled to the premises of the Com- mission, regardless of whether his disniissal had been rightful or wrong- ful. Judgment, dismissing his appeal was without prejudice to his right of civil action for damages for wrongful dismisSal •or otherwise. It is expected that Ord's damages action will be heatd at the session •of the Supreme Court, which' opens In Stratford on February 25.

Speak- ing of the auditor's report, Mayor Lee said: "The town has been compli- mented on the town treasurer's work which has been well. done." He nuot- ed the report as saying: "In the an- nual reports of your auditors full and complete details from the treasurer's cash book have been shown year by year."

This, Mr. Lee said, had been due to the absence of the tax collector through illness and "showed the ne- cessity of several changes in the system of this department." Woman—are you the plumber?
