Fighting for Deertield Water Rights.

Negotiations have been coming to a head
for some recent weeks for control of water
rights along the Deerfield river from Gard
ner Falls to Bardwell's estate, distance
of about three miles, says the Greenfield
Gazette and Courier. A representative of
the interests of which David B. Carse, for
merry of the United States Steel company,
has been leader in securing important
rights along this strip for some years and
has acquired new rights recently. They
state that they now control every thing
needed between the two points named, ex-
GLIDING only short strips perhaps an eighth
practical fowage.
F. M. Hoadley, representing these in
terests, states that they propose to go
ahead as soon as they can sell the power
and develop this water privilege at two
points in the section of the river named
above. The two plants are supposed to
give 5000 horse power. The Greenfield
Electric Light and Power company will
be given the chance to buy some of his
power if it wants it.
There has apparently been a sharp COM
petition to secure water rights along this
river, between what might be called the
Carse interests, and the Chace- Hartman
interests which have developed the Vernon
dam, which have been working to develop
the upper Deerfield river and have rights
also at Shelburne Falls and SCOTS bridge.
MI Carse,s name has appeared on papers
filed in the Greenfield registry of deeds
for a number of years. The value of the
Deerfeld river was realized long ago by
financiers. New York and
other capital from distance is supposed
to be behind this project. The estimated
cost of the whole development is $75O,OOO.
