Evans, in common pleas court today, declded the Duquesne Light Company is not responsible for damages to the Elliott Nursery Com- pany because. smoke and dust from the light company's electric generat- | ing plant destroyed valuable vegeta- tion on the Elliott farms. Judge Evans pointed out that the deposit of cinders, soot and ash re- sulting from the burning of bitu- minous sufficient to interfere with the growti: of vegetation is a com- mon condition in the Pittsburgh in- dustrial district. There are places within the district, hc said, where flowers, plants and shrubbery may be successfully grown us was the condi- tion before the light company's plant was built near the nursery. But the gradual extension of manufacturies consuming large quantities of bitu- minous coal is making such nursery sites gradually fewer. “The city of Pittsburgh and the territory surrounding It is sustained almost “entirely by industries, the Power to operate which is taken from the combustion of bituminous coal,” “To draw a circle around the city and say that no in- dustry may operate beyond that line when_ injurles may result to adjoin- ing property is to fix an absolute limit to the growth of this commu- nity. I recognize that so far as de- cislons of the court are concerned this is a new question.” Judge Evans suggested that the light company use some means of controlling smoke and dust by the proper handling of coal in the gen- erating stations. ——e Saxophones. which are now so pop- ular h the musical public, are very sensitive instruments; a sudden draught of cold air may cause them to Ko flat in tone. .
