BAR HARBOR WATER CASE.
The Company Wins In Action Brought
by r. T.. Hamor.

The decision OF the aM court in he i'm
portant case OF Elhu r. Hamor against
the Bar Harbor Water Co. has been re-
ceived. 1t gives judgment for defendant.
This case is one which attracted much
attention at the last January term of
court. The damages claimed were large.
The evidence WAS taken out before the
jury, but the case was then withdrawn
from the jury and reported to the law
court JOHN A. Peters, jr., appeared for
plaintiff and L. B. Deasy for defendant.
The rescript from the law court, by Jus
tice Hssketi, follows:
Elihu T. Hamor Bar Harbor Water Co
The Bar Harhur Water Co. was authorized to
take water from Eagle lake. which is eminent
domain for domestic purposes. The company
hy regular procedure took the water by mean-
OF 24-iuch pipe, and paid damages for the
same.
The pIaintiT is the tenant of Il mill on Duck
brook. an outlet OF the lake. His rights are
those ol II riparian owner entitled To the regu
lar How of the stream. Ii does not conct rn HIM
that the water company may have ust the
water taken from the lake for purposes unau
thorlzed by Its charter. SO long rs ii does not
iakean excess of what IT was authorized to take
That Is a consideration for the public, and not
for The individual 1t makes no difference to
him what use may be made of the water taken
He can only be concerned in the measure taken
The water company became tue lawful owner
of dam at the outlet of the lake which it was
authorized by the Legislature to maintain so q :
to increase the water supply, The plaintiff
claims an easement in this dam by which he
may regulate the flow of water to his mill The
evidence fails to show such easement and If it
dld, 1t was eNtingulShed by procedure in con.
demning the dam and land where damages were
paid TO all owners therein.
The water company has maintained at the
outlet a solid stone dam that raises the water
some three feet, and the plaintiff complains that
he is thereby deprived of the water to which he
is entitled at his mill but he is not. He Is en-
titled to the natural ilow of the stream ami the
volume Is substantially the same with the dam
as without 1t, inasmuch as 1t does not divert the
water through any other outlet The regular
now may not serve him, when an intermittent
now, regulated by gates, might, but that he is
