hanna Canal Co., haye positively refused to re-
pair the damage done to the embankment
in front of the residence of Mr.. c. Garingcr
by the water last spriug, which was caused
through the negligence of the company in not
keeping the Shamokin dam in good condition,
and that suit will be instituted by the borough
authorities for damages. This is no more than
just, as the damage was created through negi-
gcnce after the company had been repeatedly
notified of the bad condition and the probable re-
suits that would accrue from it, The damages
done will probably reach eight or ten thousand
dollars, and it is no more than right that those
who present n deaf ear to friendly warning
should suffer for their delinquency. Both the
borough and Mr., Garinger have suffered Lcavy
damage, and the company should be made pay
for it.
