WATER RIGHTS OF rowNs.

For several years the Boise City
Artesian Hot i Cold Water company
has been fighting the city of Boise on
the water question. The troubles have
been similar to those confronting the
people of Occur d'Alene. The state
law plainly requir's water companies
to furnish water absolutely free to
towns and cities for all pulic pur-
poses and also provides means of
fixing rates for domestic use by ar
bitration where the water company
and city authorities cannot agree.
The Boise water company first attack
ed the constitutionality of the law in
the state courts. The sureme court
declared the law constitutional and
the question of rates had next to be
fought out with the company. The
company then secured the passage
of a city ordinance absolving it from
the obligations of the state law and
fixing rate to be paid by the city
for water for public purposes. A
subsequent ordinance repealed the
first one, under which the company
sued the city for several thousand
dollars for water furnished for street
sprinkling. The case was finally
decided in the United States court
of appeals in San Francisco, syn
opsis of the decision being published
in another column of the Press. The
decision is most sweeping and defines
the rights of towns so clearly that
there is no doubt of the absolute
right of any town in Idaho to take
water from the mains of a company
for street sprinkling and all other
public purposes. All the town author
from the hydrants, and they are not
even required to ask the concent Of
the company. The court decision
makes it an unqualified right and
settles the matter without any restric-
tions or unnecessary trimmings. The
company is required to give the ser
vice. The case so completely covers
the situation, in many respects, in
Occur 'Alene that it leaves no doubt
OF the rights of the town. There also
seems little doubt that the town, I'M
der this decision, can recover all
money paid the water company for
IRE protection and street sprinkling.
Water companies may not like the de-
cisiOn, but they are dealing with the
public. The decision. of the court is
law and the public should take all
the law gives it. 1t will then he get
ting little enough for the privilege it
grants. The people expect the town
authorities to do their duty in the
premises and we believe they will do
IT. 1t is no longer a question of
begging a water company, but the
shoe is now on the other foot and it
Is the water company that must ask
for favOTs. That is as it should be.
for public rights aud interests are al
ways superior to those Of the individ-
nal. Two years ago last winter a
desperate effort was made in the leg
islatuTe to repeal the statute under
which this important decision was
rendered and had it proven successful
the towns and cities of Idaho would
now be at the mercy Of the water
companies.

A great many are wondering how
much longer it will take Judge Nor
gan to make up his mind in the in
junction case Of the old water com
pany against the town The people
rendered a decided verdict on the
question at the spring election and
think the judge ought to be able to
do so without many more weeks Of
delay. They see no reason for delay.
though the may be many good ones
No matter what the decision nay be
1t is probable the case will be appeal

people are determined to have better
water service and lower rates and the
United States court decision outs
them in position to obtain these
things. The report that Judge Nor
