Eases DECIDED

JUDE Thomas w. Harrison of the
Circuit Court handed down his opin-
lion in the case of w s. French and
others vs.. Chapin-Sack nufac-
turing Company.
The suit was brought to enjoin the
defendant Company from polluting the
stream extending through town to the
Shenandoah river.
Chaplin Sacks Company has been
engaged in conducting an extensive
creamery business and receives milk
in large cans from nearby points and
as far distant as Lacey Springs in
Rockingham County aud Stephens
Citv in Frederick County. This COM
pany is also engaged in the manu-
facture of Ice and conduct large ice
cream business. The plant which
costs many thousands of dollars is
located at its nearest point only few
feet from the stream and in the opera
ton of its business pumps as much as
from go. 600 to $4,000 gallons into the
creek half of which is heated to the
temperature of 100 degrees as it
passes over the steam condenser.
1t was alleged in the bill that tie
waste of this creamery and ice plant
was piped directly into the Stream and
that the milk, soap and oil that pass
ed down very seriously polluted the
stream as il passes by Mr.. French's
home and through the land of his
sister and son for the distance OF
half mile and odors from the waters
made living at home of French in
tolerable.
The Defendant denied the allegations
Of the bill and asserted that they did
not pollute the stream and whatever
pollution existed came from drainage
Of towo and other sources.
The Court in his opinion found that
an unreasonable amount of oil had
been escaping into the stream from
The plant and gave the Defendant un-
til next term of court to correct the
evil and farther found that the De.
fendant Company was permitting the
waste from creamery connisting of the
fr. m cans to pass into
stream but that in his opinion there
was nothing injurious to stock in this
and declined to enjoln the
this material into the stream.
The Complainants are not satisfied
with the decree and will ask for an
appeal.
Tavenner and Bauserman represent
ed the Compiaintants and F. b.
appeared for the Defen-
dant.
