Wisconsin Supreme Court Strikes Down 1911 Water Power Law
The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled the 1911 water power act unconstitutional, holding it improperly asserts state ownership of navigable waters and deprives private riparian owners without due process. Justice Timlin wrote the decision with concurring justices, except Kerwin and Barnes who did not participate. The ruling enjoins enforcement of the law except for new interferences with state permission and lists affected river areas including Fox River, Wisconsin streams, and the Chippewa.
