POLLOCK TO GO TO ISLAND.
He viii Do Some Fishing in Lake
Ontario.

Judge Pollock of the United States
court will leave on July ? for his
summer vacation. going to his sum
mer home on an island on the north
ern shores of Lake Ontario. This is a
great fishing place, and Judge Pollock
is noted for his loyal discipleship to
Isaac Walton. Ontario is full of little
islands and they are nothing more
than a rocky projection out of the
lake. When a man builds himself a
summer home up there, he just buys
the whole island. Judge Pollock had
the house built on the place this
spring. Before leaving, it is expected
that Judge Pollock will hand down
an opinion on the suit of the insur-
ance companies against the city
warerworks company for the small
amount of water pressure on the
night of the big fire which destroyed
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES wholesale house.
The water company has demurred,
claiming that the insurance company
has no case. The matter is up before
Judge Pollock now for decision. He
is absent from the city today, but an
opinion is expected from him before
he leaves for his vacation.
