Ohio State Journal.


THE Superior court OF Cincinnati, in
general term, has decided that the Law
does not permit one railroad company
to own or control the stock Of another.
What is the scnpe of that decision9 Does
it imply that the stockholders and direct
ors of one railroad may not be stock
holders and directors in parallel and
competing linep The law forhids the
consolidation OF parallel and competing
lines. but Il the same persons may own
and manage both lines Of what avail il
the statute against consolidation np II il
possible that law can be framed which
railroad managers and attorneys can no,
evade; but 1t is evident that no suct
statute exists at present.
