 present conditions are concerned. Obviously, if the property 

 should all come into the possession of one owner, all questions 

 as to quantity of water due to any particular raceway are elimi- 

 nated. The Genesee River Company will naturally arrange its 

 business on such a basis as best to supply its clients with water 

 and power. 



The selling price of the water rights at the various raceways in 

 1900 was as follows :

 Johnson and Seymour raceway is entitled to % the flow of the 

 river. The water rights are divided into 19 first rights and 32% 

 second, third and fourth rights. 



First rights- are based upon a flow of 9500 cubic feet per minute 

 in the raceway. All share equally until the flow is reduced to this 

 figure, when the 19 first rights take it, all sharing equally. 



The value of the water rights on this raceway have been fixed 

 in effect by a court decree, whereby first rights are valued at
