COURT MAKES DECISION

salt Lake City wins 100000 gallons
daily additional flow from Big Cotton
wood creek under a decision rendered
yesterday BY Judge c. W. Morse Of the
district court in the famous Progress
water suit.
This additional water is ample TO
protect the city against any shortage
of it's supply during the winter months,
consummation for which tho city has
battied in the courts since 1907. The
monetary value OF this victory is al
most incalcuahle To have purchased
This same water, which would have been
necessary ultimately in ease the city
had lost, would have required approx
mately s250.00G.
BY the terms OF the decision the city
wins virtually every contention for
which it fought.
Long-standins Suit.
The suit was filed in 1907. following
the construction OF the Big Cottonwood
conduit. The Progress company, big
power aud water concern, was the plain
tiff and Salt Lake City and numerous
individual users and canal companies
were named as defendants. The priuci-
pal contention revolved around the
city's claims to twenty-five -sixtieths, or
practically one-third Of the flow from
the stream. 1t was around this point
that one of the greatest legal battles
in the history of the Utah courts was
fought.
The decision rendered yesterday ap-
plies only to winter water between
October ! and April l. known as the |
nonirrigatiop season, The question Of |
summer water was settled by previous |
decision several years ago. Inasmueh |
as it is the winter season when the city |
is most in need Of the additional water,
the victory is all the more pronounced.
sit is one of the finest things that |
ever happened TO the city from the
standpoint of water supply said Syl
vestcr Q. Cannon, city engineer. "It
means our annual trouble over the win
ter supply is at an end, There will be
no more water famines such as occurred /
year ago. With the additional flow
the situation can be easily controlled
without begging or borrowing water
from other owners.
