Rail dam clash delays project amid water company dispute
The debate centers on a railroad dam and a proposed Water Company dam on the river. If the injunction against railroad dam work stands, the Spark project may halt for a year due to an appeal to the Supreme Court of Errors and related losses. Water company counsel argues the railroad dam would block full river flow needed to serve customers, while foreseeing potential use of a second dam to store excess water. Judges Foster and Buckingham present arguments supporting their respective clients concerning public utility duties and cost considerations.
