WORCESTER AND GARDNER RAILROAD
The contested matter of the location of the
Worcester and Gardner railroad from BARRIERS
crossing to the centre of the city, came before
the supreme judicial court, in Boston, Judge
Gray presiding, on Saturday. Hon. w. W.
Rice of this city, who appeared for tine Worces
4nr, ,,I Il A.
session of the legislature, authority was given
this road to cross the tracks of the Worcester
and Nashua railroad at a point known as
BARRIERS crossing, about two miles north
erly from the centre of the city; that
the Worcester and Gardner corporation had To-
Gated their road over the location Of the Wor-
cester and Nashua, between Barbcr's crossing
and Nashua street, and that the Worcester and
Nashua road had entered upon and repOsseSsed
the same, and caused the Worcester and Gard
ner road TO relinquish their work. In conse-
quence of this, the Worcester and Gardner road
had petitioncd the supreme court to issue an in
junction restraining the Worcester and Nashua
from interference with their (the petitioners
operations, and also TO recompense the Worcester
and Gardner road for any damages thereby
caused. Hon. George F. Hoar, who appeared
for the Worcester and Nashua road, contended
that the act of the legislature referred to did
not give the Worcester and Gardner road the
right, either expressed or implied, to enter upon
any part of the location of the Worcester and
Nashua road, except for the purpose of cross
ing. After brief statements of counsel, in fur
ther explanation of the points at issue, Judge
Gray declined to issue temporary Injunction las
prayed for, and the matter will be carried TO
the full bench of the supreme court on ques-
tons of law. In the meantime, pending a deci-
son the Worcester and Nashua corporation
have made contract dating from the begin
ming of this contested matter, with the Worces-
ter and Gardner road, allowing the
latter to run tteir trains over the
former road, between Foster street and
BARRIERS crossing, till the 1st of January, 1873,
By using the west track of the Nashua road
from Lincoln square, the inconvenience and
danger arising from one railroad crossing an
other is obviatcd.
