A SUIT with some curious features
has occurred in Bridgeport, Connect
cut. The Bridgeport paper company
and the Bridgeport water company
have been using the same chimney for
many years. The paper company
claimed the original ownership of the
chimney, and wished to pull it down
to erect larger one. The water COM
pany objected. A week ago Sunday
the paper company began tearing it
down; but they were stopped by an
injunction. The water company base
their claim partly upon public pol cy
and necessity. They aver that the
water supply of the city of 10000
people depends upon their works, and
that they cannot shut down for single
day without creating water famine.
Therefore they claim that the chimney
must stand; and if the paper company
wants a new one il must build it
separately and before destroying or
impairing the old one The question
of original ownership is. in this case,
of less Importance than the question of
use, and some nice points of law are
likely to be raised if the litigation is
carried to a final decision
