and general term and follows the dis
senting opinion of Judge Hunt
What the telephone company will do
is not known. 1t was the plain
tiff and sought to enjoin the single
wire plant. One complaint was that
the operation of the electric cars, by the
strong current of electricity necessary,
practically destroyed the telephone wires
and made it almost impossible to use
them satisfactorily.
This case has been in the courts for
the past three years and has attracted
National attention, as some of the most
noted attorneys of the country have
made arguments on both sides of the
issue. On this decision a number of
other cases depend, as nearly all the
large cities of the country have similar
