Des Moines, June 22.-An interesting
and important revision of the rule OF
law in Iowa as to the rights of property
owners as related to the drainage OF
water was announced by the supreme
court yesterday. 1t was in the decision
on the injunction case involving the
right of the city of Grinnell to con-
struct an entire new sewer system. II
is proposed to divert from natural
watershed eastward to drainage sys-
tenn westward, for part OF the drain
age. Property owners along sugar
creek, where the purifying system was
to be located, objected. They claimed
that under decision Of the Iowa court
there could be no diversion into an I'M
natural drainage direction without con-
sent of the property owners. The court
points out that the former decision was
never intended to go so far. but only TO
prevent such diversion Of water N an
unreasonable and damaging amount.
Some phases of the decision will prove
of general interest in almost every
town of the state.
Must Be Substantial Injury.
regarding the RUE lalu uo"u III IuC
Livingston Mcdonald case in twenty
first Iowa, the court says it has had fire.
quent occasion to point out that it does
not go to the extent which is sometimes
claimed for it. 1T is not there decided
that every diversion Of water from its
natural flow upon or away from the
land of another is actionable. and still
less does it hold that equity will always
interfere to prevent such diversion.
What it does hold is that such diversion
can not be rightfully made to the sub
stantial injury of the lower proprietor.
The court held that in the Grinnen
controversy the showing of anticipated
injury was not so clear and certain that
they can interfere in advance and
veto "a proposed municipal improve
ment which may be of great II not vital
importance to the convenience. comfort
and health of large community which
is willing to assume the burden of Its
construction and maintenance and to
guard it's operation in a manner to pre-
vent its becoming nuisance to others"

Special to Times Republican.
Eldora, June 22.-The Redpath-
yawter .chautauqua system just closed
a very satisfactory and pleasing pro-
gram. When the weather permitted,
the crowds were good but owing to
the heavy rains during the week the
people from out of town were unable
to get in and as result the required
number of tickets, amounting to $1,4O0.

business men, were not sold. The de-
felt was readily met by the guarantors.
but the prospect of a chautauqua for

Eldora Commercial Club. seeing the
condition of affairs, took the matter in
their own hands. Mr.. Greet, president
Of the club, circulated a petition for
guarantors among the business men
and women and within a few hours Sc
cured $40 signatures On the list APP
peared the signatures of every one Of
the thirty. two guarantors who had
made good FOR the tickets that were
not sold this year. which is fine ex-
ample Of the true spirit that is shown
by the business men of Eidora.

AZ to the possible inability of the city
to purify the sewage and prevent It's
becoming a nuisance the court said:
"Can this court assume In advance or
And from the evidence that the city will
neglect or may not be able to install
disposal plant which will effectually re-
move the unclean elements from the
sewage and purify the water which 1T
discharges into the creek? Undoubted-
Nv IL has no right nor is it within the
power of this court to give 1t right to
cast filth or other poisonous substances
into the stream injuring its quality for
ordinary uses. But what appellant asks
us to do is to hold that he has proved
that such is the purpose of the defend
ants or at least that such will be the
natural or necessary result if they are
permitted to proceed with the improve
ment. Such q ruling would be arbi-
trary in the extreme. 1t is a matter
of common knowledge to the civilized
world that competent men have long
been laboring to bring about a success
full method by which sewage may be
disposed OF in a sanitary manner with
out befouling our lakes and streams
We know also that many plants of that
kind have been and are being estab-
lished In these western states where the
need of such relief has been acute. In
many instances they are reputed to
wor!; satisfactorily"
The city of Grinnell had commenced
making a new sewer system which
runs all the water to the southwest,
whereas the natural drainage of the
city lies in large part to the southeast
and into n different outlet This de-
cision virtually settles for the first time
that city may do this, but can OF
course, be held responsible for any
damage done by the sewer system the
same as now. touches matter that
last winter was the subject of much
consideration in the legislature in. con-
nection with the pollution of Iowa
streams.
