I In the Supreme Court to-day there waa argument in what la known, as the sewerage case from Wilmington, Roiindtree ft Carr and Bellamy ft Bel lamy appearing for tha plaintiff and John. D. Bellamy ft Son and E. K. Bryan appearing tor ' tha defendant company. The action; was brought by the plaintiff, cltlsena of Wilming ton, .user of th ewer system, which waaNowned by ouUldera, to prevent the company from severing connection of sewerag sbov a stipulated prtc set out In a contract and to prevent the company from severing conectlon with the sewer. In the lower court Judge Webb dissolved the injunction and dismissed the action. . The defense Is that there was really not a contract but that even If there was one. It was terminable at will, the further claim. being that It was necessary to' enlarge the plant and that thla 1 In creased the cost beyond what It orig inally was. The situation at Wilming ton seems to be a very Strang one, the city not owning a compute-System of sewerage, such as Ralslgh' has. The claim Is made that the. eld newer system Is so small aa to Ita pipes that the latter cannot sustain the . hordes of tho sewerage. . w -Vr vv ' .It Mt eitpectcd y.l that within a few days, announcement will be made definitely aa to North Carolina's parti rlpatlon In th launching of the cruiser North Carolina.
