To Test the Laws on Noise.

Botson, Mass, June 9-One of the
most important civil cases ever tried
in this commonwealth was called for
trial today in jury waived session
if the Suffolk Superior court. 1t is
the suit of Edward f. Baker against
the Boston Elevated Railway company
to recover damages OH account of an
injury to real estate occasioned by the
construction and operation of the road
1t will doubtless be test case in
settling many questions of law likely
to arise in this connection and, as
there are before the courts actions
for damages where more than 81 900, =
900 is involved the outcome will be
watched with the closest attention,
not only by the lawyers, but also by
those who have claims of like nature
against the road. The principal ques-
tion of Law up for decision is that Of
whether the noise caused by the run
ming of trains shall be taken into CON
sideration in determining the amount
of damages awarded The road de-
nies that this is an element to be con
sidered.
