Important Decision

A ruling of importance to electric
power corporations was handed down
from the law term of the Supreme
Court OF Maine, In a dill OF Brown in co.
uty against Amos F. Gerald of Fail field.
The bill was sustained and decree
for perpetual Injunction will issue.
The plaintiff prayed that the de-
fendant's company which by charter
was empowered to manufacture, gen.
crate, sell, distribute and supply cleo
trlcity for lighting, heating, traction,
manufacturing or mechanical purposes
In Benton and Albion, be restrained
from erecting poles and stretching wires
over his farm.
The court rules that the private prop
erty of one cannot constitutionally be
taken by another under the sanction of
the legislative authority, without the
consent Of the owner, except for public
uses, and then only in case Of public ext
gency. Manufacturing, generating,
selling, distributing and supplying cleo
tricity for power, for manufacturing
or mechanical purposes, is not public
use TO which private property may be
taken against the will of the owner.
