Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. In 1849, the Springeld Aqueduct Company of Springeld, Massachusetts petitioned the state's legislature to extend its act of incorporation for an additional supply of water. This book presents a statement of facts in connection with that petition, including arguments presented before a legislative committee on the subject. The key issue is public exigency: whether there existed enough demand for expanded access to water to warrant the granting of this petition. Evidence was provided to support the need for more water, including the growth of the population and the increased use of water for both domestic and commercial purposes. Opposed to the petition were those who owned land and mills along the proposed water sources, as well as some city officials, who feared the granting of the petition would result in injury to property and loss of water power. The author presents arguments in support of the petition, appealing to the public good and the need to protect the health and safety of the people. This book provides a snapshot of a specific historical moment, offering insights into the legal, social, and economic issues surrounding the provision of clean water in the 19th century, and the tensions between private and public interests in the use of natural resources. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
