Decision in water case tests village rights at Walton Lake
The Appellate Division upheld Judge Tompkins in favor of landowners near Walton Lake, blocking Chester Village from enforcing health regulations without just compensation. The ruling affirms riparian rights and requires village acquisition or payment to owners before restricting lawful lake uses such as swimming and boating. A separate Bridgeport incident reports Gustav Muller shooting a police officer, wounding two others, amid a chase.
