POWER OF LOCAL AUTHORI TIES TO LAY SEWERS THROUGH LAND WITHOUT PURCHASING THE LOND.

The First Division of the Oourt of Session has adhered to a decision of Lofl Low that, under the provisions of the Public Health (Scotland) Act, 1897, a local aathonty is entitled to ley a eewer through lands, on conditions of paying compensation to the owner of the lands for any damage he m»y have eostsited, and is not obliged to purchase the land in which thoeewer is laid, or ft gemtuile right over it. The Local Authority in this case was the Perth District Committee of the Oounty Council of Perthshire, whOj iaeonslruct iog • aewer for » new draiaage district in the Crieff direction, proceeded under Bactions 103, and 107 of the Public Health (Scotland) Act, 1897. It was QPfttflnded by the landlords, on the other hand, that the District Committed were bound to purchase the land which was required for constructing the sewer, under power of compulsory purchase given to them by Bection 144 of the Public Health Act, 1892. It was Urged that to hold that the Local Author'ty had power under the statute to take a aevpt-r thtosgh lands without j)urcha6io,g them, would be to give the Ifoal authority unprecedented powers, which might result in great hardship to theowners o!land. Lord Low, inbolding that the sewer could be laid without purchasing the land, went mainly on the express provisions of the Public Heftlfch Act qxji tlie decision of the ijilghW courts in Rhoderick v Aaton Local Board, 5 Chancery Division 328. Ijle added :r-' La regard to the owners of lands ihrqugh which the sewer may ran I "cannot think that they have tnach tp ; complain of if they receive foil Qoipperiajition for, any damage whiqh they, may. sustain,'' The. I*oird iffeajdicnfc, after reviewing at length all the provisions of the Publio Health Act: on the subject,, concluded :— 8 After a copßJdefa,tioa oi the whole statutory provisions bearing upon the question 1^ congu? with the Lord Ordi nary in thinking that ander section 103 the district committee have power to carry a sewer through the coro- Iskineir!'B lands upon payment of damages, without purchasing the land, and I am therefore of opinion that bis lordship's judgment should be adhered to,' Lord Adam and Lord M'Laren OOQOU irred. -—Scottish Farmer.
