Water Rights in Dam 
Can a mill dam that has been destroyed 
for six years or longer be rebuilt to flood 
a small tract of land which I own? The 
dam will be for a fish dam only. The 
land which I own was part of the mill 
dam six years ago, but today it is a mead¬ 
ow, and the dam is for fish only. Can 
the men below me dam this and flood my 
land without paying damages? w. 11. g. 
Pennsylvania. 
It might be well for you to examine 
the records covering the water rights of 
the lower owner, to see if there are any 
reservations in the deed covering the wa¬ 
ter rights. As a general proposition, ,if 
the lower owner dams the stream and 
floods the lands of an upper owner, so 
that there is substantial injury done, dam¬ 
ages may be recovered against the one so 
flooding the property. N. T. 
Encroachment on Property 
We own a house and our deed calls 
for 46 ft. frontage. Our neighbor’s 
house has a porch which extends about 
4 ft. on our property. We have told 
them about it, but we have never annoyed 
them in any way. Now we have decided 
to sell and put the property in the hands 
of an agent, and our neighbor says we 
cannot claim the land on which the 
porch extends, as the porch has been on 
the house for 20 years. It is a side 
porch that I have reference to; the house 
itself clears our property by about a foot. 
Neither one of us have lived here over 
three yearn f. j. 
In order to claim adverse possession 
wh^re there has been continued occupa¬ 
tion and possession of the premises in 
question for 20 years under claim of title 
not founded on a written instrument, or 
a judgment or decree, land is deemed to 
have been possessed and occupied in 
either of the following cases: 
1. Where it has been protected by a 
substantial inclosure. 
2. Where it has been usually culti¬ 
vated or improved. 
It will be well to look into the cir¬ 
cumstances connected with the building 
of the porch by the former owner. Prob¬ 
ably they have acquired no right in your 
property, but it is difficult to make this 
broad statement without a closer knowl¬ 
edge of the facts. If the land is not very 
valuable and you do not care to go to 
the expense of determining the validity 
of your neighbor’s claim, when you get 
ready to give a deed you might except 
from the warranty any rights which your 
neighbor may have, if any, in and to the 
promises covered by this porch. This 
would relieve you from any liability on 
the warranty. N. T. 
Transfer Tax on 
Inheritance 
1. If a man owns a farm and wills it to 
his wife for her own use and benefit dur¬ 
ing her natural life, and after her death 
he wills it to one of his sons, is the wife 
obliged to pay transfer tax on same after 
the death of the husband? The farm is 
Worth $10,000. 2. If a man dei>osits 
money in savings bank in the name of 
himself or his wife, either of them to 
draw, is the wife obliged to pay transfer 
tax on the whole amount over $5,000, or 
only on one-half of the amount, as she 
has equal rights while husband is living? 
3.,' Would it make any difference to escape 
transfer tax by depositing money in 
banks in the name of husband or wife or 
husband and wife? v. E. 
1. The value of every future or limited 
estate, income, interest or annuity for 
any life or lives in being shall be deter¬ 
mined by the rule method and standard 
of mortality and value employed by the 
superintendent of insurance in ascertain¬ 
ing the value of annuities. 
2. Whenever property is deposited in a 
bank in the joint name of two or more 
persons, payable to either or survivor, 
upon the death of one such person the 
right of the surviving person to the im¬ 
mediate ownership and possession and 
enjoyment of such property shall be 
deemed a transfer taxable under the law. 
The bank deposit is taxable to the extent 
of the deposits made by the one dying 
first. 
3. Any transfer made in contemplation 
of death as taxable whether it is made 
before death or afterwards. N. T.
