A citizen whose property burns up because the water pressure of the wa ter company is too low cannot recov- CT damages from the waterworks com pany. Such was the decision of the Supreme Cour. of Alabama yesterday in the case of c. M Lovejoy against the Bessemer Waterworks Company
 The court held that Mir. Lovejoy was not privy to the contract entered into between the company and the city of Bessemer. It was intimated that if this pressure fell lower than was spec flied m the contract the city might sue citizen who had no part in the making of the contract could not successfully bring suit against the company for the violation of its contract.

 The ancient litigation between the Alabama Terminal Company and Hall and Farley. as trustees, reappeared yesterday on cross appeal In the Su- preme Court The suit of the former against the latter was submitted and argued yesterday before the court.
 The litigation grows out of the build- ing of the old Plant System which is now a part of the Atlantic Coast Line. Certain persons and certain interests in Alabama promised to contribute to- wards the building of the road. Some of these persons and interests claimed that the road had failed to keep its contracts and therefore the contribu- tions and assistance promised should be denied.
 Messrs. Farley and Hall, acting as trustees for the objectors, have hads a part in the long pending litigation.
