FARMER CAN GET FUTURE DAMAGES
Court of Appeals So Decides in Case Of
Reisert Against This City.

Somewhat of a setback has been given 10 the
city in it's troubles with the Long Island farmers
who are clamorng for damages because their
farms as alleged, have been drained by the driven
we'll used 70 supply Brooklyn with water The
Court of Appeals of Reisert agt- the City
Of NewYork just decided against the latter Reisert
sued for $4,000 past damages and an equitable ad-
tustment of future damages on the ground that the
value of his crops his eighty acre farm in Fos-
ter's Meadow, Long Island, had been steadily di-
rnfnished for a number of years. The trial judge
declared that the damages could not be based on
prospective profits as figured from past profits. and
all evidence Of that character was ruled out The
result is that Resert got only six cents damages.
This Judgment was upheld by the Appellate Dt-
vision.
The Court Of Appeals now reverses the Judgment
and orders new trial the ground that the rec
ord dscoses error in the rulings of the trial Judge
Judge Bartlett. who writes the opinion. says:
The rule may be briefly stated TO the effect
that the plaintiff should be allowed to prove all
the facts in regard to the manner of conducting
business on his farm before and after the trespass
calculated TO give the court jury correct gen
eral idea of the condition Of the farm and its
productive value
This rule. as laid down above by the Court Of
Appeals is most important on account OF the hun
dreds of similar damage suits against the city now
pending and in prospect. involving millions Of
dollars.

meets the Bowery with Broadway Everything
that goes wheels passes along those thor
oughfares. including electric and horse
cars. Every vehicle has driver who is in a
hurry The blockades at the crossing have been
for years dangerous to life and limb, and have
caused the recording angel to work overtime

looks as if blockades would be unknown here
cause Captain Piper has found way for the
police to regulate street traffic. a rOundsman

they held up the cars and other vehicles going
each way i'm Park Row, and allowed streams of
vehicles to cross through Chambers. Duane and
New Chambers SITS Then the streams in those
streets were stopped for another minute while
the torrents in Park Row were allowed to flow.
Thus. alternately stopping and starting the
streams of ears and wagons. the police kept the
streams flowing without causing blOCkades.
The five policemen had to keep the jump
most of the time. and they found the work hard.
Patrolman Sackett, who is wide across the
shoulders and thick through the middle. was
caught between two electric cars of the Third
ave. line going in opposite directions. and was
whrled about until one of his shoulders was
bruised severely. He sent to the hospital
in Hudson-st. to have his injured shoulder
dressed Then he returned TO duty.
