Big CLAIM
IS FILED
BYFARMER
Makes Demand on City Of
Ada for Alleged Dam
ages to Land.

John l.. Melberg, Norman county
farmer, has brought a suit for $500
damages against the city of Ada. al
legged to be caused by the discharge of
sewage from the city upon his land.
This is the second suit brought by
Melberg. In the first case. he was
awarded a verdict Of $1,000. but this
was reversed by the state supreme
court on the ground that the injury
to the land was temporary instead of
permanent.
Melberg is the owner Of a 4O-acre
tract of land adjoining the city of Ada.
The outlet Of the sewer complained of
is the Marsh river that forms Il horse
shoe bend on the land owned by Mel
berg. Except early in the spring and
during freshets in the summer the bed
Of the Marsh river is dry. The sewage
deposited upon the land is claimed to
be q continuing nuisance, but only ac-
cumulated damages may he claimed
under the decision of the supreme
court.
The first suit was brought by the
city against Melberg to compel him to
remove a dam he had constructed at
the outlet of the sewer. Melberg coun-
terclaimed in his answer and asked
damages on the ground Of permanent
injury to the land. G. G. Dosland is the
attorney for Melberg in both suits.
