GAS
CD. IS DENIED
AN INJUNCTION

Judge Baker has denied the Pawtucket
Gas company's petition for preliminary
injunction against -. Con- e. Sons
The complaints charge the respondent
corporation with n continuous breach of
the provisions OF n reservation I'm it's ia
vor OF certain water rights I'm the Paw
tucket river as contained in a certain in
denture dated Feb 25, 1896. whereby the
corporation conveyed TO the Pawtucket
Electric company certain real estate and
water powers and privileges The reser-
walton was $50 cubic inches OF water per
second Cor 20 hours per week forever.
For four years the respondent has been
using more water per second but has
only used II IS hours a week
The testimony is held by Judge Baker
TO show that the actual injury To the cleo
trio company by the present method of
taking is slight and technical, rather than
serious and irreparabe.
As the present situation has been for
years acquiesced in by the oomplainsnts
and no change or alteration in the taking
OF water is to be reasonably apprehended
and az there is no suggestion that D. Con-
e. Sons are not able To respond To dam
ages Judge Baker does not think II pro-
per TO grant a preliminary injunction.
He also doubts that the complainants
can maintain their bill until they have
requested the directors OF the Pawtucket
