Water Works Litigation Over Reservoir Water Rights
The Watauga Water Company seeks to run a new pipeline and turn in waters from the Prica and Harvey springs to its reservoir, while the Johnson City Water Company resists and seeks dissolution of injunctions. Courts in Knoxville and Rogersville hear motions to modify injunctions and allow condemnation and pipeline work as both sides argue over water rights and potential intermingling of supplies. The case involves strip land crossing above the reservoir, right of way condemnations, and contested water flow from upper streams to serve growing needs.

Nashville municipal lighting proves cost effective says journal
The Municipal Journal and Engineer notes Nashville completed six months of municipal electric service at 2.04 cents per kilowatt hour. Operating costs rise in early months, but the city expects better performance next year. Mayor J. M. Hoad departs mid October as the city runs its own plant and reduces charges to private customers from five cents per kilowatt hour. Cities paying ten to twenty feet per kilowatt hour may hope for similar future savings.
