By affirming the judgment of the lower court in the case of Town of Shelby vs. Mill & Power Company, the supreme court today further em phasized the principle that the legis lature mnv pass all laws not incom patible with the constitution of the health, morals and peace of the public. The case in question came till to the higher court on an appeal liom the judgment of Judge J. Crawlord Higgs restraining a mill corporation above Shelby on the French Broad river, from emptying raw sewage Into the stream from which the town of Shelby secures its supply ot drinking water. The court did not take the argu ment of the defense seriously, for it held that a prescriptive right to empty sewage into a stream did not prevent the legislature from chang ing the laws in the interest of health. Kxtracts From Opinion. The .'opinion, written by Justice Hrown, savs: 'I lie plaintiffs do not. rely upon the principles of the common law, but. rest their caso solely upon sec tion ::051 of the Revisal of 1905, which reads as follows: 'No 'person or municipality shall flow or discharge sewage into anv drain, brook, creek,, or -, river from which a public drinking water supplv is taken, unless the same shall have been passed through some well-known svstem of sewage pimfical ton approved by the state board ol health; and the continual flow. ..and': discharge of such may be cnioined upon application of any person.' ' A violation of this statue Is made a misdemeanor punishable by lino and imprisonment bv section 88311." Tiie propositions sought to be ninintained by tho delendant. are: t 1) - W bother the right to pollute a si renin can lie required by. prescrip tion, and if it. can: (2) whether, when such right has been acquired,, it ran be destroyed bv a statute, funking'., no provision for "compensa tion' -"therefor." This particular statute, says the opinion, was considered in the case of "Durham vs. imo Cotton Mills, 14 1 X. C, C 15, and 111 N.
