There 10 q somewhat active effort in Terre
Haute to prevent the removal of the State Nor
NAL School from that city. At meeting Of an
emergency committee OF citizens the conclusion
was reached that the city is bound for half the
expense in erecting buildings In place of
those recently destroyed by fire. The Terre
Haute Council on Tuesday evening will be
called upon consid er that fact. and petition
is TO be presented to it asking that sufficient
money be appropriated to enable the building
to begin at once. The trustees OF the school
will meet again on Tuesday to further consider
plans for erecting the buildings They have
those of architect Vrydaugh to AGA upon, which
submitted to them day before yesterday.

pressed III Complaints Of Minor Litigants.

The trustees Of the town of Eltsood Madison
county, in consideration Of the company supply
ing sirees-lamps free and lighting the outside
of churches. granted an exclusive use Of the
streets and alleys TO the Elwooa Naturai-gas
Company. The Citizens company, of the same
place pet.soned for alike privilege, but the trus
tees refusing it. said company began work on
the streets by digging trenches ai,d distributing
mains along their line. The Citizens company
had gone thar far Ia providing competition.
when its work was INSTRUCTED By the trustees
procuring an injunction against the company
because IL had no license 10 lay mains. An ap-
peal was taken to the Supreme Court, from
which a decision came yesterday. through Judge
Elliott, affirming the decision of the lower court
II was held that an injunction cannot lie TO Sc
cure to q corporation an exclusive
OF streets and alleys, but it can against
company that them without a grant or
license from the trustees of town or the Coun
ell of city. The EIwood trustees no doubt
violated the law in giving one company ex-
elusive right to the streets. but the Citizens
company cannot take advantage Of that wrong
and lay its mains Ia the town without license, As
no one can dig trenches and lay pipes in the
streets and alleys of town or city without per-
mission OF the proper officers.
Municipal officers have authority to regulate
tho use and occupancy of streets within reason
able limits, but they cannot do SO in the interest
OF any special corporation. The law contem-
plates that there shall Ia free competition with
the competing companies placed upon the same
level. under a general ordinances The Elwood
Natural gas Company is not riRhtfuy using the
Streets as it has illegal grant, but the Citi-
Gems company was legally refused what IL petit
TONED for under special grant. 1t should have
asked for general ordinance, which would
raise very different question from that of dig
gIng trenches and laying mains without a
license. because it did not obtain the same grant
given the Elwood company.
