No. 474 on Miscellaneous Docket. In
the Circuit Court for Garrett coun-
ty.
The petition filed in the above en-
titled cause states that the petitioner,
the Youghiogheny Hydro-E Electric
Corporation is a corporation incorpo-
rated under the laws of Maryland,
for the purpose of developing the wa
ter power of the Youghiogheny River
and tributaries, in Garrett County,
Maryland.
(2) That by virtue of the power
conferred by its charter, the said pc
tltloner IS now engaged in the con-
struction of several dams and works
on the said Youghiogheny River and
its tributaries, in Garrett county, for
the purpose of collecting and conserv-
ing the waters of the said Youghio-
gheny River and its tributaries, so as
to be able to apply said waters to the
development of power for electrical
and other useful purposes, and the
use of the public generally.
That in the impounding and collect
ing of said waters, it is necessary to
overflow and to acquire certain prop
erty of which the said defendants are
the owners or reputed owners, to-wit:
97.49 acres, with the exception of the
minerals underlying the same (if
any, but including all water and ri
parian rights thereon, all of which
said property so desired to be ac-
quired is shown and described on the
plat filed with the petition in the
above entitled cause.
That said property, except the min
erals underlying the same (if any,
| but including the water and riparian
rights in connection Herewith, is
| necessary to the operation and works
of the petitioner; that the petitioner,
though it has made every reasonable
endeavor to acquire said property
from the said defendants by pur-
chase, has been unable to do so, and
that it becomes necessary for the
petitioner to acquire the same by con-
demnation.
The petition further states that all
of said defendants are non-residents
of Maryland, and do not reside there
in.
The petition then prays that said
land described on the plat aforesaid,
excepting the minerals underlying
the same (if any, but including the
water and riparian rights in connec-
ton Herewith, be condemned as pro-
vided for under the laws of the State
of Maryland, and that the petitioner
may have such other and further re-
lief as the nature of its case may re-
quire.
1t is therefore, by the Circuit Court
for Garrett County, ordered this 21st
day of January, 1925, that the plain
tiff give notice to the said non-resi-
dent defendants of the object and
substance of said petition by publica-
ton in a newspaper published in Gar
rett County once a week for three
successive weeks before the 18th day
of February, 1925, and warning said
defendants and each of them to be
and appear in this Court on or be-
fore the 28th day of February, 1925,
and show cause, if any they have,
why said property described in said
petition should not be condemned as
prayed in the petition of the plain
tiff, the said Youghiogheny Hydro
Electric Corporation.
