DECISION EXPECTED.
kennebec Water District Case to Be
Decided by Court.

1t is expected that the decision in
the famous equity case of the Ken
nebec Water District against the city
of Waterville and the Maine Water
co. VII soon be rendered by the SUI
preme court.
1t will be remembered that the
Legislature of 1899 granted a charter
authorizing the city of Waterville and
the towns of Benton, Fairfield and
Winslow to establish the Kennebec
Water District for the purpose of fur
nishing those towns with water for
domestic and municipal purposes. Diff
ferences arose as to the right of these
towns to so organize and the whole
matter was sent to the full court on
report.
The case was argued in Portland at
the july term of the law court in 1900.
General O. ID. Baker of Augusta, Hon.
George f. Weeks of Fairfield. and Har-
vey D. Eaton of Watervifle, appeared
for the district and Symonds, Snow &
Cook. of Portland. Hon. II. NJ. Heath
of Augusta, and Hon. VIM. T. Haines
of Waterville, represented the defend
ants.
The whole question of municipal
ownership of public utilities was en-
tered into by counsel and it is in
timated that the courts decision will
exhaustively discuss this principle.
