for an injunction to the judge of the Rich
naond superior court. to restrain the
Augusta Railway Company, composed of
Kansas City Capitalists, from building
an electric railroad in this city. The
old company set up the claim under its
charter from the legislature and ordinances
and contracts with the city of Augusta that
it had the exclusive right TO all the streets
for railroad purposes
THE JUDGES DECISION.
Judge Roney in rendering his decision
decided that the old company had exclusive
rights for street railroads propelled by aui-
NAL power, but that it had no exclusive
right as to cars propelled by
electricity, this motive power having
been discovered and introduced since
the original charter and contracts
with the city. An injunction was there
fore refused. The new company is con-
structing fifteen miles of electric street
