Water case decision refutes Newark Milling claim
In a district court ruling dated June 24 1920 the jury found William Laird entitled to the first right and entire flow of waters from Water Canyon. The verdict says Nick Ratto’s ditch should receive the waters after irrigation and use, while damaging claims were denied. The judge noted Newark Milling and Mining Company as presumptive owner but rejected its title, affirming the plaintiffs’ 1916 state engineer grant of use to 0.8 cubic feet per second, and implying the corporation had no proven right to land or water.
