THE LEDGER
AGAIN 1NDoRsED.,'
The Fight In Behalf Of the People
Against Street Railway Monopoly
Successful = The Fare on
Lines Inside the COrpOr.
alton Only Five
Cents.

This morning Judge Heisksll OF the
Shelby County Circuit Court delivered
bis opinion in the agreed law case styled
John B Clough VS.. Memphis City Rail.
road Company. After r~eciting the agreed
statement of facts and discussing the Law
learnedly Judge Heiskell held:
That the repeating act Of March 23d.
1877, is void and of no effect, but other
grave questions arise in the case, to wit:
That the railroad company never had
any right or was authorized TO charge
more thaa FIVE cents fare within the CITY
limits, and that the ten cents act amend
ing the company's charter applies only
TO those travelling in the company's cars
beyond the city limits"
Judge Heiskell delivered a very
lengthy, exhaustive aud learned written
opinion in the case, and after discussing
the charters, amendments and constitu.
tionality of the Legislative acts, the vested
rights Of both railroad company and the
public, and citing an immense number
OF authorities, he winds up his opinioR
az follows:
"~lconclude, therefore, that defendants
company has q right to charge ten cents
iare Tor all passengers travelling on its
road beyond the city limits, but for all
others 1t can only charge five cents: and
as the plaintiff falls within the latter
class, the ten cent? fare being demanded
Of him ~wrongfully, he can recover in this
action, and judgment will DO entered
accordingly"
From the above decision it will be
seen that the streetcsr monopoly never
had any legal right to charge ten cents
for a single fare on its roads within the
corporation, nor had the company a right
TO demand twenty FIVE cents for four
tickets, i've cents being the legal fare.
The repeating act Of March %, 1877,
which Judge Beiskell decides is uncon.
stitgtional, is the Collier act, which
brought about the controversy between
the company and the people, aud in
which the LEDGER played q lively hand.
To show Mr.. Golfers views concerning
the matter, he wrote from the legislature
as follows, of date Nashville, March %,
1871:
Bill to repeal the section Of the act
alloTing the City Railroad Company
more than five cents has been introduced
1t will pass, but there will still remain a
constitutional question which may have
to be settled by the courts. / do not
think the railroad company has the right
now, nor ever had, to charge more than
five cents" etc.
The LEDGER congratulates the public
on the successful result Of the suit, and
in the name of the public thanks the
legislators and the legal gentlemen Of
our city who attended to The case in the
court.
