DECISION IN
WATER RIGHTS
IS IMPORTANT
Hoffman Milling Company Case Is
Decided After Seven Years in
the Courts

Fort Collins, Aug. THAT a
milling Co. holding rights to nom
consumptive use of water cannot
waive its appropriation for the bene-
fit of reservoir company is the
substance of a decree entered in the
district court by Judge Graham.
In the case of the Hoffman Milling
company against the Windsor Res
ervoir company and the Fort Collins
Milling & Elevator company, the
court restrained the reservoir COM
pany, from entering into an agree
ment whereby the company fur
nishes the Fort Collips Milling COM
pany with coal in return for 60 feet
of water in the Poudre river. The
Hoffman Milling company has a
secondary appropriation of so feet
of the same water and when this
was turned into the reservoir the
plaintiff company was obliged to
operate its mills by steam power.
The suit has been in the courts
for several years and under the de-
cree. the water cannot be abandoned
until the appropriation of the Hoff-
man mills has been satisfied.
