The Maryland court of appeals has rem
dered decision sustaining the circuit court
for this county in the case of Grace E. d.
Sprigg and James c. Sprigg. jr., against
the town of Garrett Park. The case grew
out of the construction by Mrs. Sprigg on
her property in Garrett Park of a vault for
the reception of refuse. The town council
declared it contrary to an ordinance of the
town, and after serving notice upon Mrs.
Sprigg to remove the pipes leading from
her house to the vault, which notice was
ignored the pipes were severed. Mrs.
Sprigg brought suit in the circuit court,
asking that the town council be enJolned
from interfering with the vault. The court
decided that the town council had the right
to prescribe the character of sewage re-
ceptacles. The case was carried to the
court of appeals. with the result stated.
