TWO BIG LEGAL FIGHTS

forcing the city to change its supply

attempt " the Union Water Power 90.
70 prevent the city using the GOO horse
power for pumping as stipulated in
the lease.
So much trouble has been expert
enced with the impure water of the
Androscoggin that the city was finally
forced to construct a new pipe system
TO Lake Auburn. and water was turned
on, yesterday. \ large perce ntage of

by good authority ana believed by
many that the city has a good case.
1t is understood that Ex-Judge Sy-

The other case also presents fl ltures
which promise to be of interest. The
city. in 1873. invested some 5000 900 in
a water system with the Union Water
Power CO., then the Franklin Co.
gaining the right to use the water
from the Androscoggin river or Wilson

was also her lover and she was foolishly

ar old fashioned place.
Chance brought the singer back to
the village OF short, crooked streets and
little dark houses. On day she sat in

plain, but the bare floor was freshly
scrubbed and there was flower in the
window. Conversation Jagged. though
