The Court Of Appeals has decided that the
Health Board Of this city was acting WITHIN us
powers in directing the Trinity Corporation 10
furnish water on each OF the floors OF certain
buildings owned by it and used as tenement
houses This is a righteous decision. One OF
the important practical results Of the tenement
house inquiry made several years ago was the
enactment Of a law requiring running water on
every floor in tenement-houses. Against this
law, so plainly in the interest Of health and
cleanliness, the great Trinity Corporation ar
rayed itself and has fought persstently. 1t has
been defeated. In how much better light 1t
would stand before the community had 1t chosen
TO obey reasonable and proper law, instead Of
defying and opposing II! -~
