Supreme Court Holds It Must Change
Span to Let Stream Be Enlarged
for Drainage.

The Supreme Court of the United

of Illinois in a case holding that the

road Company must obey the order Of
a district drainage commission to en-
large one OF its bridges over Robroy
Creek IN the western part of the State
50 to admit the increased flow in
the stream resulting from the drainage
OF two thousand acres of swamp land
The railroad resisted the order on con-
stitutionaI grounds. Justice Harlan held
that the railroads right TO bridge the
stream was subject to the superior right
of the State to use the stream for the
benefit OF the public
The opinion contained a novel ruling TO
the effect that the police power of a
State extends TO matters of public bene-
fit and convenience as we'll as TO matters
of public health and safety. The drain
age district must bear the expense of
widening the stream and removing the
obstructiOns. while the railroad must
look to the renewal of its bridge struc-
ture.
Justice Brewer read a dissenting
opinion.
