The Pocantico Water Works Company, Respondent v. Seth Bird, Appellants

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's injunction in part, holding that the Pocantico Water Works Company’s acquisition of water rights and land was a valid public use under its charter, that the defendants' earlier map filing did not grant them exclusive eminent domain rights, and that the injunction should be limited to preventing construction of dams or reservoirs above the plaintiff's newly located storage reservoir.
