THE USE OF WATER.
6ome Legal Information Respecting water
Rights-First Principles.

Il IS generous principle. that every owrer
of land upon natural stream OF water has q
right % use the water for any reasonable
PURPOSE not inconsistent with a similar right
In the owners OF the land above. below and
opposite 70 him He may take tee water to
supply his dwelling, 10 irrigate his land, or
20 quench the thirs. OF MS cattle: to use it
for manufacturing purposes. such as the sup
plying Of steam boilers or the running Of
water wheels or other hydraulic works, so
long as such use does not sensibly and iniur-
ioUsly affect its volume. But this is mere
privilege running with the Iano, not prop
erty in the water itself.
Where the stream is small, AID does lot
supply water uore than sufficient TO answer
the wants Of the different proprietors living
on the stream, none OF the proprietors can
use the water for either irrigation or manu-
featuring, but for domestic purposes and
watering stock one proprietor viii De justified
in consuming ell the water.
Twenty years use adverse 10 the right OF
another VIII give the person so using the
stream the right 10 continUe the use. regard
less Of the others rights.
And as to the division OF water, every one
who owns land situated upon stream has
the following rights:
l. To the natural fow Of the stream
2. That IT shall continue to run IN its &c
customed channels.
s. That it shall flow upon his land in its
usual quantity, natural place and usual
height.
Z. That it shall flow of his land upon the
land OF bis neighbor below, in accustomed
place and at the usual level
These rights he has as an incident to the
property in his land, and be cannot be de-
prived OF it by grant or description.
II any one shall make any change in the
natural flow Of stream, TO the material in
jury Of any owner situated upon it, or By any
interference shall prevent the stream from
flowing as il was won't to flow, he is response
bic for the damage he may occasion. These
rights are subject to the privilege OF each
one TO make reasonable use of the water
upon his own land while it is passing along
the same. 1t matters not what the source of
the water may be, whether it be backwater
or the fowage of the same, or the water Of
another stream. STILL the division Of
stream may be made by any one, il il be re-
turned to its natural channel before it leaves
the premises. Cor. Legal Adviser.

TIE NEW LONDON BRIDGE.

The total length of the bridge from Winthrop's Point to the Groton shore will be l, ,422 feet over this chasm it will be carried by five spans resting on five piers of solid masonry. Its most promi- nent feature will be the draw.span of 502 feet in length and thirty, two feet above high h-water--the longest double-track draw in the world-giving two channels of 225 feet each for the passage of ships. On either side of the draw will be spans of BIO feet, while each of the shore spans will be over 150 feet in length. The super. structure, however, is not the most diffi- cult part of the work, the substructure presenting a much graver problem. The greatest depth of the Thames at this point is fifty seven feet at low water below this are eighty feet more of soft mud and pene. trable clay before solid bottom can be reached. The usual method of construct ing foundations being inapplicable at such great depths led the engineer to devise 8 plan to sink huge timber crib into the mud on the river bottom, and within this drive piles until they reach the solid earth cut them off at the surface of the mud, and on their heads found the masonry for the piers, first excavating the mud within the crib and filling the latter with con crete. On this solid foundation the piers will be built up above the surface of the water ill the usual manner. Cribs, cais. sons and piers will be of huge proportions. The crib for the center pier, for instance, will be Fl feet square, and with it's frame about 75 feet high. The pier itself will be 70 feet high and 5I feet square at the base. The superstructure will be of steel. The draw will rest on'steel wheels and will be turned by steam. Its weight is 1900 tnTlG M. ..fr new road will be needed on the Groton side, and about q mile on the New London side. In the latter town the road, on leav- ing the union station, will pass through the old quarter. On the Groton side one sees little to remind him that great work IS jn progress. A dredger taking mud from the crib on the site of pier 6 is the only prominent object there. On the New London side there is more animation, Vessels are discharging cargoes of stone and lumber, travelling derricks are moving blocks of stone of several tons weight as if they were paving stones, and a small army of men are at work building piers. cribs. and caissons. The west abutment is en- tirely done, the foundation of pier No. 1 has been completed, and two courses of masonry have been laid. The cribs for piers 3 and 5 are nearly completed, and will shortly be lowed out and sunk The grillages or bottoms of the caissons for these piers are also nearly ready. The guard pier of the draw on the north side is entirely finished, and that on the south side three. quarters done, and the abut. ment on the Groton shore nearly com pleted. All this has been done since April 2. The contractors are under penalty to have the bridge ready for trains by July, 1889.
