OPINION.

We, the undersigned Water Commit
tee. as instructed by vote of Counchi
hereby publish that part of the opin-
ion of the Honorable Edw. w. Hines,
bearing on question as disclosed in
the opinion as follows:
list. What is the right of the City
and citizens of Maysville to compel the
Water Company to remove the basis
Of the complaint of the State Board of
Health relative to the Maysville Wa
ter supply?
End What is their right to compel
the Water Company to furnish water
for domestic purposes free from pud
and from such impurities as are likely
to effect the health of citizens OF
Maysville?
These two questions are so iner-
woven that it is difficult to discuss
them separately, and so they will be
considered as one question.
In the light of the facts before me
and of many cases considered only
few of which have been cited have
reached the following conclusions
some of whiih have already been
stated
l. The water company is subject to
indictmnt If it continues to furnish
water for domestic use which it knows
is not ordinarily pure and wholesome.
2. The water company may be re-
strained from collecting water rents
until it does furnish water for do
nestle use which is ordinarily pure
and wholesome.
8. If the water can be made ordin'
arily pure and wholesome by the eff
cient operation of the disinfectine
plant, the water company is entitled t.
use that method of publication, and i
may be compelled to do so.
4. The water company may be en-
joined from furnishing for domestic
use water which is not ordinarily pur
and wholesome.
5. The water company may be com
PEELED by a cort of equity to ilItal
reliable pumping machiner, or at leas
such machinery as the contract call
for.
6. The contract may be rescindet
upon equitable terms If extraordinar,
expense is necessary to enable tn
water company to furnish water 70
domestic use which is reasonably pur
and wholesome, and 1t is unwilling t.
incur that expense.
Z. If the findings or the Stat
Board of Health as to the bad condi
ton of the water company's plant ant
the inadequate service given by tn
company are true the city is entitle'
to have the contract rescinded and tn
franchise forfeited. regardless of con
ditions arising from the impurity O
the water supply.
8. The city may purchase he'plan
in accordance with the terms of TIL,
contract.
