SUIT TO ENJOIN CONOWINGO
DAM COMPANY
Plaintiff Questions Right of Eminent
Domain In His Case


Domain In His Case
suit to enjoin the Philadelphia
Electric Company from using Ger.
tain parcels of land adjoining the
Conowingo power dam was started
in the United States Court in Phila-
delphia last week.
1t was thought that the action
may interfere with the construction
of the dam. 1t was filed by James
c. Colgate, of Bennington, VT, who
questioned the right of eminent
domain of the corporation in the
matter Efforts had been made to
buy the land from Colgate.
Pennsylvania State boards COW
ering water power, forests and pub
lie service are made defendants in
the suit.
Mr.. Colgate claims that the right
of eminent domain does not apply to
the land of which he is owner be-
cause the power to be manufactured
is to be used outside the State.
At the office OF the Philadelphia
Electric Company it. was explained
that Mr.. Colgate's land is a part of
the land which will be flooded when
the dam has been erected in
1928. 1t was said that his legal ac-
ton would not halt construction
work now going on, since his land
would not be effected for some
months at least.
A hearing was conducted before
The, Water Resources Board of Pen
nsylvania yesterday at Harrisburg
and another hearing will be conduct
ed before the Public Service Com
mission at Harrisburgh, Pa.
The action is to prevent these and
other boards from exercising the
power of eminent domain on behalf
of the Philadelphia Electric Com
pany, which will distribute the Con-
owingo power.

sUsQUEHANNA LEAGUE
Standing Of the Clubs

1t has been a long time, but
Rising Sun finally got revenge on
Elkton, by not only beating the
County Seat boys, but shutting them
out, thereby adding insult to in
jury on Saturday.
Harris did the twirling for the
locals and Elkton simply could not
hit him safely, while his team mates
backed him up in grand style and
managed to put over three runs on
Arrants, who also pitched good
article of ball. The score: :,
Elkton 0 % 90 90 90
R. Sun 900 1'1OO x-3
Batteries-Harris and Spence;
Arrants and Biddle.
Rising Sun went to Oxford and 1t
looked like they would bring home
the bacon, being four runs to the
good after their turn at bat in the
eighth, on Decoration Day.
But Oxford was not any ways
near through at that stage, and the
way they rolled up runs in the
eighth and ninth was caution, and
were still going strong with nobody
out when the winning. run came
over. The score:
r. Sun 20 L 0 2 o 2 o. 9
Oxford 0 1 1 2 l 0 0 2 80
Batteries-Foster, Harris and
Spence; Mackie and Dubois.
