DAM COMPLETED AZ
 MEADOW BROOK RESERVOIR.
Contractor Dodd Finishes for the Sea- son and All Water Received Can Be Stored,

The work of building the new dam at Meadow brook reservoir has been completed by Contractor Dodd and the water which has been allowed to run to waste while the contractor was engaged there is now being sent into FairvfeW reservoir. The fob has re- quired all the summer and fall to com plete and there is now a fine dam which will hold,all the water that is received to be. stored there. The corewal, rip rappings, spillway and screenhouse are all done save for the wooden top on the screenhouse and the fiashboards on the spillway, which will be ready soon.
 There are now two 24-inch pipes running through the screenhouse, one going to Fairview and the other being a waste pipe, in addition to the spill way, so that there will never be any danger of there being too great a body of water there as to flow beyond the right of the city. A first class job has been done and the job has been done within the appropriation, which also allowed for the securing of some rights there.
 All of the old dam has been removed except the spillway, which will remain this winter, and any further work which may be desired there can be undertaken when the department wish es. The past summer and fall have been excellent for the work, as there have been no long wet spells to inter fere with the work.
 The rainfall on Wednesday, includ- ing that of Tuesday, amounted to A of an inch, and the last measurement showed Fairview reservoir to be 166 inches below high water mark.

TESTIMONY BY TELEpHoNE.

The supreme court of New York
state has just rendered a decision
that may constitute a ~far-reaching
precedent in all states where proof
of a telephone conversation is offered
in the trial of a cause. In the New York
case, a wife, acting for her husband,
gave certain orders to his brokers.
The defendants sought to offer the
testimony of a witness who had lis
tened to the telephone conversation
over an extension wire. This evil
dence was excluded in the lower court
as was all proof tending to c~orroborate
the conversation because the witness
had heard the conversation on an
other instrument and in another room
than that occupied by the representa-
tives of the brokers. The supreme
court has overruled the decision of the
lower court and decided that a con-
versation overheard between two par
ties whose voices are recognizable may
be established as evidence in an action
and that the recognition of voices over
a telephone is just as good as CONVEX
sation between parties who are face
to face, so long as the nearer recog-
nizes the voices and can make oath to
the fact.
II the higher courts sustain this de-
cision. there is APPARENTLY no limit to
the use of the telephone in litigation.
The judge rendering the decision
stated that the defendants could have
proved. had their testimony been adj
mitted, that the proposed witness had
been SO placed as to be able to hear
everything that passed over the tele-
phone wire; and, if so, his testimony
should have been admitted as COM
petent and relevant to the issue. The
general acceptance by the courts of
this rule may make the telephone a
valuable factor in assailing or defend
ing the rights Of future litigants. Par
ticularIy cautious persons will be dis
posed to add to the old don't write
admonition the further warning, "or
telephone"
