MALDEN GAS COMPANY.
By the action of the Selectmen, the Malden Gas Company have acquired the right of easement in some of the principal streets, to
20
lay down their pipes, with a view to supply such of our citizens with gas, as may choose to avail themselves of that method of procuring light. It is understood that the consideration for the right thus acquired, an indemnifying bond has been given in the sum of ten thousand dollars by the Company, to protect the Town from any damage which might accrue in consequence of any defects in the streets, caused by the action of the Company. The oppor- tunity is now afforded the town, in its corporate capacity, to avail themselves of gas for lighting streets ; an improvement very much needed in some of the most frequented thoroughfares.
WATER QUESTION.
The long pending question of the injunction granted by the Supreme Court to restrain the town officers from paying more money for draining L Pond, and meadows adjacent thereto, have decided that, in consequence of the long delay before application for the injunction, it must be discontinued. It is understood, however, that the question of claims for damage to individuals owning estates bordering on the pond in consequence of drainage, or the jurisdiction of the Town over the pond, was not passed upon.
The question of damage to individuals caused by draining the numerous wells on the plain, and the land slides caused by taking away the support of the water, are questions still open and yet to be decided by our Courts, whenever the aggrieved parties choose to bring an action.
The Committee recommend the following appropriations for 1861, which they believe will be sufficient to defray the expenses the coming year.
