the consent of the Secretary shall
merely be permissive of the doing of
the work for which authority already
exists"
The opinion is the outcome of the
suit brought by the Hudson County
Water Company against Former Gov
ernor John Franklin Fort in his Of
fetal capacity; Attorney General Ed
mund Wilson; the Riparian Commits
sioners and the State Water Supply
Commission, they being the officials
charged directly with the enforce
ment Of the laws attacked by the wa
ter company as unconstitutional.
Those were the acts of 1910 making
it unlawful to pipe subterranean wa
tiers into another state or to lay pipes
or mains under tidal waters unless
with the consent of the Governor
and the Riparian Commissioners.
In view of the turn affairs have
taken in the water controversy the
decision of the court is important
rather on account of the principles
enunciated than because of its effect
in the present case. The withdrawal
of the Government as an ally of the
water company together with the re-
scinding of the contract for furnish
ing water to the Government reser-
walton on Staten Island, had already
practically terminated the fight to
divert water from this state.
