THE MAZES

THE MAZES OF THE LAW.
The New Milford Water Co. has an
interesting suit on it's hands, which at
the best, will cost it a handsome sum
in legal fees, and just how much more
remains to be seen. In 1896 the Wat
sons of Marketable brought suit for
trespass against the Water Co. The
case went to the Supreme court and
the rights of the Watsons on the
premises were upheld. An injunction
suit was next brought against the
Water Co. in June, 1900, and was ready
to be tried in the October term. A
demurrer interposed on the part
Of the Water Co. had been over
ruled. ''It was at this point,' said
Mr. Watson to BEE reporter, that
the Water Co. did the first legal act
they had ever done in connection with
taking the water by bringing condem-
nation proceedings. They went before
Judge Andrews with petition asking
for commission to be appointed to
assess the damages for taking the wa
ter in 1874 down to the present time
and all future damages. Able talent
is engaged on the case, including Nc
MahOn, Williams and NickersOn for
the Watsons and Donald T. Warner
and John +. Adds for the Water Co.
The case will come up for hearing be-
fore the commissioners again on the
18th.
