<p>Negligence — Townships—Diversion of waters — Damages.</p> <p>In an action against a township to recover damages for a mill property resulting from the diversion of water in the repair of a public road, the trial judge properly states the measure of damages when he charges the jury as follows: “If you find that the mill property is permanently injured you should give such damages as would put it back into its former condition, unless it would take more to put it in that condition than it was worth, and then of course you would not allow more than it was worth.”</p>
