SMOKING cosr FINE OF sa,4oo.
Heaviest Verdict for Offence In Bay
State.

Springfield. Mass. Feb "a fine of
81, 400 for smoking the heaviest fine ever
decreed In Massachusetts for the offence
was imposed by Judge Henry W. Bos-
worth in the district court Saturday
upon the Springfield Street Railway
company, the ehimneys Of whose power
house have aroused the ire of the city
officials.
For more than year the city author
tiles have endeayored to compel the
street railway company 10 take some
steps to put an. end to the belching Of
dense clouds of smoke from the power
house chimneys, by invoking a local
city ordinance dealing with the alleged
smoke nuisance. The company claimed
that the city ordinance was not legal and
that the local court had no iurisdic-
ton.
The supreme court Of Massachusetts,
settled the question of jurisdiction, and
few days ago the company, through
its counsel, pleaded guilty to violating
the smoke laws. Saturday Judge Bos-
worth imposed fines Of 5000 on each of
the four counts, making total fine of
81, 400. 1t Is understood that the com
pany will appeal to the superior court.
