Maine Revised Statutes Title 38. Waters and Navigation § 851. Meeting of mill owners; call; object

When an owner of a mill or of the dam necessary for working the mill thinks it necessary to rebuild or repair it in whole or in part, the owner may apply in writing to a notary public in the county where the mill is situated, or if partly in 2 counties, to a notary public in either, to call a meeting of the owners, stating the object, time and place of the meeting. The notary may issue a warrant for the purpose, directed to the owner, which must be published in some newspaper printed in the county, if any, 3 weeks successively, the last publication to be not less than 10 nor more than 30 days before the meeting; or a true copy of the warrant may be delivered to each of said owners or left at the owner's last known address; and either notice is binding on all the owners.
