interfere in the slightest degree with the bridge As
regards the actual Interference with navigation caused
by the bridge Mr.. Emmons said that IT practically
amounted TO nothing. In order furnish an Official
reply to the Pennsylvania suit, Mr.. Emmons addressed
note of inquiry to W. W. MacFarand, of MacFar-

reply given:
In compliance with your request for information as
TO the nature of the action brought against your
pany and others by the Pennsylvania Raj rOed Company

beg to say that the theory OF the complaint Is that
the existence Of the bridge is source Of damage
to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and tne
legal idea seems TO be that the railroad company is

questions OF law which proceeding presents, IL is
enough to say, for present purposes, that the Penn
sylvania Company have no cause of action on
account of the bridge, unless they can MAINTAIN that
there is authority OF law for maintaining IL. For.
If the bridge is lawful structure, IL cannot in
legal sense be a cause of damage to any one. All
bridges over navigable streams necessarily interfere
TO greater or less extent with navigation, and
those engaged I'm navigating such waters are, Of
course, damaged In different degrees, according 10
the extent of their operations But, the control
OF navigeble waters including the right 10 authorize

waters. those who are damaged by the exercise OF
this power have legal grounds OF com plant grow
Ing out Of tho exercise, no matter how great tho
damage It may occasion There would not seem,
therefore, to be any merit I'm this action. nor any
foundation wha'cver for the claims set up by tho
Pennsylvania Company. You will remember that
II decided by Judge Bradley. in the case OF the
State of Ncw-Jersey against your company, that
