Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court October 19, 1908 (Bryant v. City of Pittsfield)

Knowlton, C. J.

The principal questions argued in this *532case are whether the St. 1892, c. 185, was duly accepted by the city of Pittsfield, and whether the act authorized the city, through its board of public works, to take the water of the brook without some formal proceeding in writing, by vote or otherwise, to show the acquisition of a title to the water.
