A  Complicated  Real  Estate  Deal 
tu  July,  1922,  we  paid  down  $350  and 
wen*  given  a  bond  for  a  deed  on  property 
valued  at  $1,850.  At  the  time  the  seller 
told  us  she  could  not  give  us  a  deed  until 
we  paid  $550  altogether,  as  she  still  owed 
that  on  the  property.  October  28,  four 
months  later,  we  paid  her  the  balance;  i 
together  with  the  November  payment  of 
$15,  as  it.  had  been  agreed  to  pay  off 
the  principal  that  she  still  owed  at  that 
rate  of  monthly  payments.  On  our  deed 
was  stated  the  fact  that  there  was  still 
a  balance  of  $475  due  to  the  original 
owner,  proving  that  the  person  who 
passed  the  title  to  us  had  only  given  him. 
the  five  fnonthly  payments  we  had  made  ; 
and  had  not  given  him  our  first  payment  of 
$350.  Was  this  right,  legal  or  honor¬ 
able?  We  then  agreed  with  the  original 
owner  to  make  the  monthly  payments  of 
$15  every  six  months  when  we  paid  the 
interest.  May  1,  the  six  months  from 
date  of  our  deed  having  passed,  we  made 
this  payment  and  also  six  months’  interest 
on  the  $475  our  deed  said  we  owed  him. 
Now  he  informs  us  that  we  must  pay 
interest  for  the  months  of  November  and 
December  on  $550.  which  was  the  amount 
owner  owed  him  last  July  1.  'Should  we 
pay  interest  on  this  amount  or  on  the 
$475  due  him  when  we  received  deed? 
lie  says  he  has  her  note  agreeing  to  pay 
off  the  principal  at  the  rate  of  $15  each 
month,  the  interest'  being  payable  on 
July  1  and  January  1.  Where  do  we 
stand?  Had  the  owner  the  power  to 
give  us  this  deed?  Should  we  have  mort¬ 
gage  papers  from  either,  or  some  sort  of 
written  agreement,  with  either  or  both 
concerning  this  $550?  i.  f. 
You  have  confused  the  facts  somewhat 
by  The  use  of  the  term  of  bond,  deed, 
mortgage,  etc.  It  is  impossible  for  us  to 
figure  out  just  where  you  stand.  If  you 
took,  ,a  deed  which  recited  that  the  prop¬ 
erty  was  subject  to  a  mortgage  held  by 
another  for  a  Certain  amount,  that  is  the 
amount  which  you  should  pay,  and  if  the 
amount  is  not  correctly  stated,  you  can 
recover  the  difference  from  the  grantor. 
No’*  doubt,  your  local  attorney  can 
straighten  you  out.  x.  t.

Rights  in  Percolating  Water 
A  and  II  are  neighbors,  the  highway 
separating  their  farms.  B’s  farm  is  well 
watered,  while  A  has  very  little  water. 
Just  across  the  highway  on  B’s  property 
is  a  spring,  having  a  flow  of  about  three 
gallons  per  minute.  A  has  believed  for 
some,  time  that  this  vein,  of  water  flows 
under  his  property  at  no  great  depth 
below  the  surface,  since  A’s  farm  lies  on 
the  upper  side  of  the  road.  Recently  A 
made  some  tests  with  a  drive  bar  and  has 
proved  conclusively  that  the  vein  of  water 
in  question  flows  under  his  farm  near  the 
highway  at  a  depth  of  about  2  ft.  A 
wishes  to  dig  down  and  expose  this  vein 
of  water  on  his  farm  and  conduct  it  to  a 
reservoir  for  his  own  use.  B  makes  no 
use  of  the  water  at  present,  and  never 
has,  except  that  it  flows,  into  a  meadow 
and  may  help  somewhat  in  producing 
more  hay.  A  and  B  are  not  good  friends, 
and  A  believes  that  B  will  make  trouble 
if  possible  if  the  water  is  diverted  from 
its  course  for  A’s  use.  What  are  A’s 
rights  in  this  water?  Is  it  possible  for 
B  to  force  A  to  return  the  water  to  its 
former  course  ?  Can  he  make  A  pay 
damages?  A  is  very  much  in  need  of  the 
water,  and  will  take  it  if  he  .is  entitled 
to  if.  On  the  other  hand,  he  does  not 
wish  to  involve  himself  in  litigation.  B 
would  not  sell  his  right  in  the  water,  A  is 
quite  positive,  as  he  will  do  nothing  that 
will  in  any  way  accommodate  A.  It  has 
occurred  to  A  that  if  he  is  not  entitled 
to  the  entire  flow  of  the  spring,  he  may 
take  a  portion  of  it,  although  this  could  be 
accomplished  only  by  stopping  all  the 
flow  and  then  piping  a  portion  of  it  across 
the  highway  onto  B  near  its  former  out¬ 
let.  E.  F.

Underlying  waters  whose  source  are 
not-.  ,well  defined  are  deemed  percolating 
and  part  of  the  land  on  which  they  are 
found,  arid  are  absolute  property  of  the 
owher  of  the  land  where  he  does'  not  un¬ 
reasonably  injure  the  rights  of  others. 
The  right  to  appropriate  springs  and  sub¬ 
terranean  waters  is  an  incident  of  the 
ownership  of  the  land,  but  the  absolute 
right  of  appropriation  as  against  other 
landowners  who  may  be  injured  thereby 
exists  only  to  the  reasonable  use  of  the 
water.  Ordinarily  percolating  water  be¬ 
longs  to  the  owner  of  the  land,  and  his 
use  thereof  to  the  deteriment  of  his,  neigh¬ 
bor  is  without  remedy.  x.  T. 
Rights  in  Church  Property 
Twenty-eight  years  ago  the  people  of 
this  community  belonging  to  the  Metho¬ 
dist  Church  bought  a  house  for  a  parson¬ 
age.  ^  I  was  told  that  the  deed  was  made 
out  in  such  a  way  that  if  the  church  be¬ 
came  non-existent  the  parsonage  would 
not  go  to  the  conference,  but  would  re¬ 
main  the  property  of  the  community. 
Now  the  deed  was  made  out  to  the  trus¬ 
tees  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church 
(naming  each  individual)  their  succes¬ 
sors  and  assigns  forever.  .Said  property 
to  be  used, as  a  conference  room  and  par¬ 
sonage.  The  parsonage,  impairs,  insur¬ 
ance,  etc.,  have  always  been  included  in 
the  trustees’  report  to  rhe  quarterly  con¬ 
ference,  the  same  as  the  church.  A  neigh¬ 
bor  tells  me  that  his  mother  sold  the 
property  with  the  understanding  that  it 
would  never  go  to  the  conference.  It  is 
held  as  all  property  of  the  M.  E.  Church 
Js  required  to  be  held  in  this  State,  and 
it  has  never  been  made  plain  to  me  why 
it  will  not  go  to  the -annual  conference, 
should  the  church  become  non-existent; 
Can  you  see  any  way  we  could  prevent 
it?  e.  a.  w. 
Connecticut. 
If  there  is  no  provision  in  the  deed 
specifying  that  it  will  revert  to  the 
grantor  or  someone  therein  named  in 
case  the  property  is  no  longer  needed  for 
church  purposes  it  will  probably  go  to 
the  conference  in  case  the  church  ceases 
to  exist.  x.

Questions  About  School  Meetings 
1.  Just  what  is  meant,  in  school  law, 
by  “one  who  hires  a  place”?  2.  Must 
such  person  possess  a  written  contract  or 
pay  a  stated  sum  in  money,  besides  what 
taxes  he  pays  and  produce  he  shares  and 
delivers  to  owner,  in  order  to  be  a  legal 
voter?  3.  Is  a  man’s  wife  made  eligible 
to  vote,  by  helping  to  work  such  a  place, 
and  also  aiding  in  the  delivery  of  farm 
produce  to  owners,  in  part  payment  for 
rhe  use  of  the  place?  4.  (’an  a  legal 
voter  be  trustee  if  he  does  not  own  any 
property?  5.  What  is  the  proper  method 
of  bringing  a  school  meeting  to  a  close? 
0.  Is  the  business  transacted  legal  if  the 
meeting  was  not  properly  closed?  7.  Can 
a  trustee  hold  office  if  he  was  elected  by 
ballots  on  which  were  written  simply  his 
name,  and  not  the  word  “trustee”?  8.  Is 
it  unlawful  to  vote  an  amount  to  pay  the 
trustee  for  his  services?'  9.  Is  it  proper 
to  elect  any  officer  in  the  following-  man¬ 
ner?  Our  collector  was  elected  as  fol¬ 
lows:  It  was  moved  and  seconded  and 
carried,  that  the  chairman  or  clerk,  I  am 
not  sure  which,  should  place  a  single  vote 
in  the  ballot  box  for  a  certain  person  to 
a<H  as  collector.  10.  (’an  such  person 
hrild  office?  11.  If  such  cannot,  then 
what  is  the  next  thing  to  do?  12.  If  this 
meeting  was  legal,  and  some  person,  be¬ 
lieving  it  was  not,  attempts  to  vail  an¬ 
other  meeting,  then  what  should  be  done 
by  the  parties  who  desire  only  to  have 
the  business  placed  upon  a  firm  founda¬ 
tion?  x.  s.

eral  rendered  an  opinion  as  follows: 
“There  seems  to  be  no  reason  why  the 
electors  at  a  meeting  duly  called,  and  held 
for  the  purpose  of  electing  a  trustee,  shall 
not  unanimously  direct  the  secretary  to 
cast  a  ballot  for  such  trustee.  A  person 
so  elected  has  a  good  title  to  the  office.”

collector  or  treasurer  may  be  filled  by  ap¬ 
pointment  by  the  trustee.  n!  t.
