DECISIONSFROM
THELAW COURT
kennebec County.

Mount Vernon Telephone Company
rs. Franklin Farmers COOPERATIVE
Telephone Co, Ct Ais. Rescript, Phil
brook. J.
Bill in equity. The defendant Frank
lin Farmers Company, maintains Il
telephone line in the town OF Vienna.
No written permit has been granted
By the municipal officers OF the town
10 that company 10 construct its lines
upon and along the highways and
public roads OF the town as required
by r. s. Chap. 50. Sec l.. The COM
pany admits that its poles and wires.
for the most part, follow the general
course Of the highways and public
roads Dut claim that the provisions
Of the statute do not apply TO it be-
cause its poles are wholly on private
lands. that its wires are for the most
part suspended over private lands.
and only cross the highways fyonl
pole to pole situated on private lands.
The other defendants, individual citi-
zeas Of the town. under the same
claim have similarly erected poles on
private lands and strung upon them
wires which for the most part are sus-
pended over private lands. and cross
highways only from pole to pole
erected on private lands. buc finally
connect with the Franklin Farmer 5
Company's wires and thus with points
IN other towns and cities.
The plaintiff. operating in the same
town, and with permit from the mu-
ricipal officers to construct its lines
upon and along highways and public
roads. asks this court 70 enjoin the
opera tons OF the defendants
Held = In this statute the word
upon" includes crossing a way by
the wires: therefore the erection and
maintenance of the defendants wires
across highways and public ways
we're contrary to law.
.. While wires and poles erected
and maintained in accordance with the
statute are declared by p. s Chap. IS,
Sec. l.. 10 be deemed legal structures,
We cannot hold b. inference that those
not SO erected and maintained are
nuisa noes, since the statute is in de-
rogation OF the common law, and
therefore must be construed strictly.
1t cannot be enlarged by implication.
s. Under the testimony as to the
heishth Of the wires, the manner in
which they are strung. and their fail
ure to obstruct or to interfere with a
proper use Of the highways and pub
lie roads by the travelling public we
cannot say that they are nuisances as
matter Of law.
Failing to find that these wires con-
stitute a nuisance, as erected and
10
ed in accordance with the stipulation
Of the parties in the agreed state
nent. Since the erection and main
tenance Of the wires across the high
ways and public ways are in violation
Of law. we think the defendants should
not recover costs.
Bill dismissed as to all defendants,
Received Feb. Is, 1915.

CONSTIPATION OR COMFORT d?

There can be neither comfort nor
good health where constipation exists.
Most people suffer from this cause
at intervals, many are chronic VIC
tins.
The oId-time remedies for this very
common complaint are nauseating
doses Of some powerful purgatives
that leave the condition worse than
before.
In the new laxative. Pinkets, is pre-
scented a dainty, sugar-coated granule,
that is free from unpleasant effects
does not upset the stomach nor grippe,
but simply gives nature the needed as
sistance. Once use Pinklets and you
will never return to salts, oil and harsh
purHatives.
Write the DR.. williams Medicine Co,
Schenectady. X. T., for free sample.
or get a full-size 25-cent bottle Of
Pinklets from your own druggist.
