Remedies for tho Water Difficulty.
Unfortunately, the exact relations be-
tween the City Council of Columbia and
the Water Power Company are undeter-
mined. We do not know that they will be
effected or changed by tho recent action
Of tho Board of Health. A contact ex-
lists, which, it is claimed on both sides,
has been violated. Suit has been
brought by the company to recover pay
ments due under it, and resisted on the
ground mainly OF failure OF perform
ance, and because immoral and unfair
in itself, and violation in its inception
and progress of we'll established rules of
equity governing contracts. The case
was argued more than month ago, and
it was OF consequence that the decision
should have been rendered promptly,
and the public mind set at rest about it.
But Judge Carpenter hos not appreci-
ated the public anxiety to have solu-
tion of the difficulties which stand in the
way of their comfort, health and business.
He takes pleasure trip Of weeks, while
they have to remain here, and feel all
the discomforts and uneasiness which
the forced use Of such water as the
Water Power Company furnishes is
calculated to engender. It is hate
full nuisance, palpable violation of
their rights, and an intolerable insult to
their feelings. It is no wonder, while
it may be no remedy for the evil, that
the public impatience vents itself in
threats Of violence. The question
already pending. however it rnay be do
oided, will be taken to the Supreme
Court, and the final decision will involve
the still greater question of the validity
of the contract itself. This is the gist
OF the matter. It is then of great con.
sequence that the decision be rendered
without delay, in order both to deter
mine the point Immediately in issue and
to prepare the way for the consequences
which hinge upon it.
While we wait for the Judge, and feel
the laws proverbial delay, and justice
halts, there is nothing that prevents.
according to the decision OF Judge
Pratt, of the Supreme Court Of New
York, the Board of Health from imme-
diately prosecuting the company for
generating nuisance. The opinion of
the City Attorney is not altogether ia
vorable to this course; but he may be
mistaken. and We believe is, in his iudg-
ment. We know that it is not concurred
in by. other lawyers of learning and emi.
nence in the profession. There will be
no harm in full inquiry into the FEAST
bility of such suit, and. if practicable,
it ought to be brought without delny.
Another suit should be entered
against the Water Power Company for
breach of contract, unless the lawyers
conclude that the one already pending
is sufficient to settle the question of
violation. We think that new and in
dependent suit ought to be brought to
test it. The Board of Health and City
Council are organized bodies, capable
of suing, and should institute them as
soon as possible. The great point to be
aimed at is to get rid finally of the con-
tract altogether.
