Court respecting Barrels water supely con-
fined its resources to Martin brook in Will.
Jamestown. And now come Frank j. Mar
tin and W. A. Boyce, attorneys, who have
notified the city not to take any more water
from this said Martin brock; and, though
it is not expressly declared, the notice con-
veys an intimstion that, II the warning is
disreg arded, the city will be enjoined from
taking water froiu this one remaining
source OF supply. The consequences to
Barre, II an injunction should be granted,
would be serious in the extreme.
II is commonly understood that the notice
OF the attorneys Is in the interest of Smith,
Whitcomb q Cook, whose power is furnish
ed by the waters OF Martin brook, and
which, II diverted to the various municipal
and other uses in which city water is now
employed, would be returned to the stream
below the works Of the protesting manu-
facturers and thus deprive them OF tn cir
| motive power.
The city council has notified the polish
| ing mills, users OF steam boilers and con-
| sumers OF water for other mechanical pur-
| poses, that the city will not be responsible
| for the continuance OF the supply, and these
| users will be the first to be shut off in the
event OF shortage. The plight OF the city,
| in the existing complicati ms, legal and 9th
erwise, is very deploraole, both in respect
OF the water supply for domestic and sani-
| tary uses and fire protection, and incident
ally, in its bearing on the industries OF thu
| city.
The city council has ordered that days
