THE RIGHT OF THE CITY TO AcQUIRE THE

PANY AFFIRMED.

PANY AFFIRMED
Albany. Nov. 27.-The' Court of Appeals to-day af-
hrmed with costs. the order of the General Term
in the matter of the application of the city of
Brooklyn to acquire the property and franchises of
the Long Island Water Supply Company Judge
Gray wrote the opinion in the case the rest of the
Judges concurrng. He said in part:
The water company claims to have exclusive
ran s, 10 furnish water in the town OF New
claims that the act of 1892 authorizing the city to
unconstitutional. Upon this appeal the question OF
the amount of the award is not one we can. or
which either in terms, or by implication grants TO
the corporation formed under 1t exclusive right

other persons, II they assent from the
authorities to their Application. from forming an
other company 10 supply water from other sources
TO the inhabitants of the same town or village. We
think 1t clear upon authority that the statute under
which the water company was Incorporated, being
couched in general terms charter secured by
company exclusive privilege or franchise to sup
ply water to the town village. nor preclude the
The contract with the company was exclusive only
in the sense that no similar one could be made

tsblished by the provisions of the annexation law
In the last place will briefly consider ,Sas the h,
authorized this proceeding is unconstitutional and
void. The important point in the argument upon
the taking OF a citizens properly. except for a
necessary public use, requires for the validity
OF the legislative act that the particular pubic use
be designated. whereby the property becomes i'm
pressed with a trust for tn. benefit of the public.
and that only this act is defective in this re-
spect but it gave opportunity for judicial de-
termination of the question of the In our Judg-
ment however. while II may have been better esis-
lation to have fixed and limited the partcui&r use
ACQUIRE and hold the appellants property, the act
is valid
The appellants other point as to the unconsiitu-
tonality of the act is that 1t authorized the con-
demnaiion of property which Is already devoted 10
a public use, without designating any different or
larger public to which II is TO be applied We
do not think that there Is force In this objection
our Judgment is that the decision Of the General
Term was correct and that its order should be
affirmed with costs.
