Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York July 9, 1907 (Loomis v. Loewenheim)

Robson, J.:

Appellant^ and respondent own rights in the waters of Mohawk River, appurtenant to premises within the limits of the city-of Little Falls, severally owned by them or in which they have separate interests. The serviceable value of these rights is practically dependent upon the maintenance in that stream of a dam, with suitable bulkheads, canals and waterways in connection therewith.
