Henry Grady at Sanford yesterday
and put on record in the otflce OF the
clerk of the superior court mere iate
in the day, forbidding the continued
oneration of the sewage disposal plant

t;on of the State Board of Health,
hit the effectiveness of the order was
deferred until August 1, 1888.
The order was granted on COM
nlaint Of the Highland Home Realty
Company, growing out of the recent
litigation in Vance Superior Court
heard before Judge Grady, and pro
vides that the effectiveness OF the IN
junction may be extended a year
hence for another year. and even
longer by Judge Grady if in his judg-
ment the city is unable at the time
to finance a new sewage disposal
plant.
The civ gave notice of an appeal
from the Judgment so as tc carry the
matter to the State Supreme Court.
The realty company complained that
its property was damaged by the IN
efficiency and unsanitary condition OF
the disposal plant. 1t brought suit
against the city last spring, and the
matter was thrashed out in superior
court here but not to the satisfaction
of either side, and the Judgment
against the city granted by Judge
Grady was the result of that proce-
dure. Judge Grady, by common con-
sent of the litigants, retains jurisdic-
ton in the matter until it is settled.
That portion of the judgment sign
ed by Judge Grady containing the
courts order follows:
Upon the findings of the fact as
hereinbefore made, it is now
considered, ordered, adjudged and
decreed that the defendant City of Hen
erson be and is hereby restrained and
enjoined from operating said sewage
disposal plant or any other sewage
disposal plant, or from permitting raw
or improperly treated sewage to flow
