This venera ble rule, a legnl authority points out, Is ns good today ns ever It was and Is full of menacing significance to the airship builder. Thu effect of lids rule Is (o glvu (hu owner of laud thu exclusive right to the freu enjoyment of the air over and alsivo tho four comers of his holding, nnd any Interference with that enjoy' ment, however apparently slight and harmless, constitutes a trespass, for which nn action mny bo brought. Applications for Injunctions against airship owners and actions for trespass by aggrieved landowners are not un likely proceedings In tho near future. Now York Hun. How Oho Solved It.
