FEILDING GASWORKS CASE.
Press Association, Wellington, April 6. In the Appeal Court case against Feilding Gas Company, Dr. Findlay, Attorney General, contended that the Borough was not prohibited under the Municipal Corporations Act from contracting with the defendant, company for the supply of gas to inhabitants. Section 220 of the Act gave them full power and that section was not controlled by section 222. Failing that there was implied authority in the Borough by virtue of|Jits ownership of streets, to authorise any person to do anything to the streets which did not actually amount to a nuisance. Sections 240 and 422 recognised this authority. Dr. Findlay further contended that the Company committed no nuisance, and in a small Borough with wide streets like Feildiiig the Company could carry on operations without committing a nuisance. The case is proceeding.
