Lehigh Court water from the defendant's land to that of plaintiffs." The court cannot order the de fendant, Donald R. Koze, to supply water to the Bowleys, it is set forth in the opinion of Judge Kenneth H. Koch. However, the Bowleys have a right by easement to use of a certain pipeline and natural wa ter course by virtue of an agreement in their deed, it is ruled. The Bowleys purchased their home from the defendant's parents.

The easement was created in the deed, which gave the Bowleys the right to water through a pipeline from the elder Kozes' well. This well went dry in 1956. The defendant in 1956 connected i his water system to a creek and by use of a pump began to supply water to his own home, that of the plaintiffs and the old Koze farmhouse across the Lanark-Vera Cruz highway. In 1960 Koze dug himself a new deep well, which he claimed was not adequate to supply plaintiffs. When the creek and pump system became inoperative so far as the plaintiffs were concerned, they brought the suit, claiming defendant had shut off a valve and denied them water.

At conclusion of the first hearing. Judge Koch handed down the preliminary injunction until final decision. Yesterday he ruled that although the plaintiffs retained the right they have held since purchase to the natural flow of water and use of the old pipeline, the court could not force Koze to supply them with water from any other source, especially through the use of a pump.

Wil liam R. Cameron, investigate and report first.

Under questioning. Gray said this would be similar because the controller has subpoena power which he doesn't. But, he said, "you have a deal er's choice." Boyer asked the other two com missioners to withdraw the mo tion in view of Gray's remarks. Both declined. When it came up for vote, Boyer voted in favor "so as not to hold things up," he said.

Gray indicated his first step will be to get the facts and fig ures on the case from the control ler's and sheriff's offices.

Last week, the commissioners decided to change the system by which Dando and others could bill the county for mileage in the per formance of their duties.
