DAMAGES AWARDED FOR INJURY 

 BY GAS. 



The suit of John Donaldson of 

 Patchogue, N. Y.. against the Newtown 

 Gas Company for damages done to his 

 greenhouse stock in his greenhouses 

 at Elmhurst, L. I., has been settled. 

 The Company paid Mr. Donaldson 

 over $2,700 in settlement. William 

 H. Siebrecht, Jr., of Long Island City, 

 was .Mr. Donaldson's attorney. 



The settlement of this suit is of 

 more than usual interest inasmuch as 

 the gas main which caused the 

 trouble was practically new, having 

 been laid only two years prior to the 

 damage and. furthermore, no one ever 

 smelt gas in Mr. Donaldson's green- 

 house. Nevertheless, the growth of 

 his stock of Easter lilies was stunted 

 and his callas destroyed. Experts who 

 were called into the case pronounced 

 illuminating gas as the cause of the 

 injury to the plants and flowers and 

 this was substantiated by certain ex- 

 periments which Mr. Siebrecht caused 

 to be conducted. 



Shortly after this leakage Mr. Don- 

 aldson sold his property In Elmhurst 

 and moved to Patchogue. His son, 

 Alexander Donaldson, now conducts 

 the florist business at his fathers old 

 place. The first winter that the son 

 put through in the same house, there 

 was another leak, or a continuation 

 of the same leak, which resulted In 

 auother suit against the same Gas 

 Company.
