"Definition of Flats Point of Controversy in Municipal Court," Bath Independent, 8 Aug 1929 (Thursday), p. 2

Clam Diggers Fined $5 and Costs Each and Case is Appealed to Supreme Court

"When are clam flats not clam flats? "When they lie below the mean low water mark," was Attorney Edward W. Bridgham's contention in municipal court Thursday morning, supported by a decision from the State of Maine laws. But Judge John J Keegan ruled otherwise and Warren Alexander, Lyman Alexander, Jerry Wallace and Harvey Dunning, all of Cundy's Harbor were fined $5 each and costs of $4.12 for digging clams on the flats of West Bath without a permit from the town officials....

"The four respondents were digging clams for New Meadows Inn when arrested Thursday according to the testimony of Lyman Alexander, the only one of the four to appear.

"The case which lasted for over two hours...resolved into the question of whether the men were digging clams on the flats in the town of West Bath. They admitted digging clams on the so called "Middle Grounds" west of Foster's Point, east of the main channel, which is the dividing line between West Bath and Brunswick.

"Attorney Bridgham,...presented the argument that the "Middle Grounds" so called were not flats. He read the decision which qualified flats as the shoreline between low and high water marks. As both the defendant and prosecuting witnesses had testified that there was water between the West Bath shore and the "Middle Grounds," Attorney Bridgham argued that they could not be flats for they were beyond the low water mark.

"Lillian M Brown, a licensed pilot on the New Meadows river for the last 20 years, testified that she had seen the time when the "Middle Grounds" could be reached by walking across a bar at the entrance to the smaller channel on the West Bath side....

"Attorney Bridgham appealed to the October term of Sagadahoc county supreme court...."
