JUDGE HEIsK Ellis OPINION
on the petition of the Miami Oil Works
Company was as follows:
To the Honorable Legislative Council:
GENTLEMEN-Upon the petition of the
Miami Oil Works Company TO have a side
track put along side OF their building, cor
ner Of Exchange and Promenade streets, re-
ferred TO me, L have this TO say: As
understand the difficulty, it is this: The
company desires to load their oil, cake, ETC.,
on the Chesapeake road at their building.
The track of this road lies east OF the II ack
of both the Memphis and Charleston and the |
Mississippi and Tennessee Railroad Com
panies. 10 order, therefore, that they have
what they desire the track of that road will |
have to cross both of the aforementioned |
tracks and back some forty feet on the track |
OF the Mississippi and Tennessee road to |
reach the Miami Company's siding. For the |
privilege of thus using its track learn that |
the Mississippi and Tennessee road demands |
81 a car for every car SO run over its track |
1t occurs to me this is a contest between the |
Miami Company and the Mississippi and |
Tennessee road which you cannot settle. |
This road has a contract with you, by clause |
l6 of which it is bound to allow any other
road terminating in the District TO enjoy lis |
track, and The rights and privileges thereby
granted, upon payment OF the pro rata share
of cost OF track, etc.
Now, if any road desired 10 use the track |
of the Mississippi and Tennessee road within
the District, and that road refused permits
sion, it might raise a question for your
action. But where other parties make such
a question, it seems ONE they will have to
settle it with the Mississippi and Tennessee
road as best they can. For, whatever might
be your opinion of the matter, that road
would not he bound TO adopt ii; because il
does not come within the terms of contract;
and therefore an amicable adjustment fail
ing, resort to the courts would be the only
remedy, Notwithstanding your opinion. If
the Miami Company wish permission to put
in side track you can allow that of course.
And in this case you can pass a resolution
giving them all they desire, SO far as you are
concerned. But do not understand that it
Is your province 10 compel the road to con-
iorm to your views on the subject any more
an you have power to compel the Miami
-oad on any question OF difference between
hem. Respectfully, CIV. HEIsKELL,
DECEMBER z, 1882 Attorney.
