as special referees on the case. and lis.
tened all the morning. and a part OF
the afternoon to the arguments of the
counsels-- Hon. H. NJ. Heath for the
water company, and Hon. w. T. Haines
of Waterville for the contractors. The
evidence in the case was submitted al
Bath, last week.
The trouble is all over the water pipe
which runs across the river, and they
say leaks like a sieve
The pipe is constructed in bell shaped
joints, which are so constructed as to
allow the pipe some play without leak
ing.
The counsel for the water company
submitted that the contractors had not
laid the pipe properly, and in this way
had not fulfilled their contract 1t
was claimed that the sections of pipe
were laid all over the lot, and that
even the barge from which the work
was operated. was not stable, and
bobbed about rendering good work i'm
possible. This pipe. or sieve. it was
claimed, was laid a year ago, last fall.
Some time later the water company
laid out something like $4,000 upon it.

pipe not showing any propensities to-

one than number / and this very fact
is brought forward by the contractors
as showing that the water company
