The court’s opinion wa: read by Mr. Justice Holmes. After discussing the police power of states, Justice Holmes stated that when it reaches a certain magnitude it can proceed only through the exer- cise of eminent domain with entailed compensation. 5 While ordinarily private affairs, such as the ownership of a piece of property, cannot be permitted to in- terfere with public interest, damage to a house is not a public nuisance, the justice said, even though similar damage is inflicted on others in differ- ent places. “The’damage is not com- mon or public,’ e explained. The statute was not fustified, he stated, as a protection of personal safet. The Kohler law purports to abol- 1sh, the court asserted, what is recog- nized in Pennsylvania as an tate in land—a very valuable estate.” As applied to the case before it, the court found that there was not suffi- cient public interest to warrant the state, through the Kohler act, to in- terfere with the company in its “con- stitutionally protected rights.
