Transcription
In cases where f i l i n g s have been made by in d iv id u a ls and there has been no completion o f work, we should post a new n o tice and reco rd the same. We cannot, o f course, app rop riate water from p riv a te p rop erty , as appears to be the case whefe water is taken .from the tunnel. / In cases where ap p ro p riatio n is made a ft e r the / e ffe c t iv e date o f the Water Commission Act (June 16, 1913, / Act 9091 Gen. Laws) we may apply fo r the use o f the water in accordance with the procedure o u tlin e d in the a c t. I do not b e lie v e , however, that the act was intended to include matters o f th is kind, and that we may protect our r ig h t s by p ostin g and reco rd in g on ly. ^ I think t h is covers the s itu a tio n g e n e ra lly , but the fa c ts in each in d iv id u a l instance should be more d e f in it e ly ascertain ed , at which time we w i l l be in a b e tte r p o s itio n to g iv e Mr. Adamson more d e fin it e advice. A p r il 11, 192S.
