Judge Alfred A. Hall Of ST. Adams has
handed down decision in the contempt
proceeding instituted BY the state board
az health against three Mendon property
owners on the ground that they violated
an Injunction restraining them from pol
lluting the Rutland city water supply.
Two OF the defendants, Mark +. Jenny
and George w. Sawyer, are adjudged ~
contempt. Because they have apparently
shown desire to live up to the inlune-
items since the proceedings were begun,
the court has made the fines only go each.
The third defendant, NJ. F. Rooney, IS
discharged. There is yet to be hearing
to see y neither or not the temporary in
junction shall be made permanent. Inc
anes imposed are the fret decisive step,
taken during ten years fight between the
city OF Rutland and farmers having BARN
wards near the water shed.
