Decided Against Doty

Chancellor Hall has rendered decision
in the case of Horton E. Doty VS.. Village
of Johnson. This was an action brought
at the recent term of court, asking for an
injunction restraining the village from
flowing his lands, as caused by the dam
recently built for electric light purposes.
The decision is as follows:
''In consideration of the premises and
in view of the findings of facts by the
Chancellor, he is of the opinion that the
orator has not made a case emitting him
to equitable relief.
1.-THE damage, if any, is not irreparable
and it appears that the relief sought is
disproportionate to the nature and extent
of any injury that the orator has sus-
tanned or is likely to sustain, but if in
error, then in view of the discretion
which the Chancellor has in such cases
cit is ordered that the temporary in
junction be dissolved and that the bill be
dismissed.
''If an appeal is taken, the question of
costs may await final decree. limo appeal
is taken, the Chancellor will pass upon
the question of COSTS"
We understand that Mr.. Doty's attor-
neys will make motion tor an appeal.

Where the peerie dance and sing
And the flutes of sylvan sadness

Would Put the Loan Sharks Out O
Business.

SuS"SoSs
The matter of providing charitable
agencies where money may be bor-
rowed on personal property especial
~ on security such as pawnbrokers
takc) at a low rate of interest. is be-
ing considered by leading philanthro-
pistS. The need for such institutions
is felt in every large city. At present,
thousands of people are COMPELLED to
seek temporary aid of pawnbrokers
and loan sharks. They pay enormous
rates of interest because they do not
know their rights and are afraid TO
incur the displeasure of the lenders
by seeking to ascertain them.
Many states provide statutes for
the regulation Of this business. which,
it enforced. would protect the borrow :
CT from usury. but unfortunately the
man who needs the money is not dis
posed to bubble as to the interest
rate He does not know his rights and
the. lender takes good care that he
does not enlighten him. So, Cor the
most part. the interest is limited only
by the amount the lender can wiring
from his victim.
Such cases have been known in
Maine. though the law is entirely ade-
quatr. The victim was ignorant of
the laws provisions and for several
years struggled along paying exorbi-
tant interest. the discharge of the
principle being entirely beyond his
resources. Naturally he took no one
into his confidence and was not in a
position Che thought to seek the adj
vice of an attorney. He felt. how
ever. that he was being robbed and
finally sought the advice of friends.
An attorney was engaged and as
result the money lender was very glad
to return enough of his ill-gotten gains
to more than pay the attorney and the
borrower was relieved of the merci-
less opportunities and worry. Few
cases end as we'll.
In France the municipalities provide
such agencies prepared to loan as
small sum as 60 cents at the rate
of seven per cent. a year. The &C
counts of this system show that up to
$3.50 this rate does not pay expenses
but above that sum is very profitable.
In Italy the rate is six per cent. on
sums less than $500 and is seven per
cent. above that point. In Austria
the interest is 10 per cent. and in Ger
many II per cent. In New York
pawnbrokers are permitted to charge
three per cent the first month and
two per cent. for each month there
after. but various charges make this
reach total of 80 per cent. year on
