Another Injunction Prayed For.

A second bill of complaint praying for
an injunction against the Bratteboro Street
railroad company was formally served upon
the company Wednesday afternoon. 1t is
signed, the Estey Organ company by Levi
K. Fuller, vice president. The ground on
which the injunction is asked is that the
construction of the railroad will be a seri-
GUS damage 10 the cOmpany's Centreville
property. The company alleges its rever-
sfonary ownership of the highway passing
that property, and the fact that no state
ment has been filed or leave granted for
the construction of the road in compliance
with the law of 1894; that the erection of
trolley poles and wires would constitute
such An additional servitude on the high
way and adjacent property as TO entitle the
complainants 10 damages: and that the
company will be bankrupt and without
funds 10 pay these damages. This COM
plant is that OF an individual abutting
land owner outside the village limits, and
is brought in order TO cover etfectually the
main contention in this case, provided it

The Contention of the Complainant
Rrfef.

The contention of the complainant brief is es
sentay as outlined in their bill OF complaint the
leading points Of which were printed in The
Phoenix last week After arguing minor points
as TO the location Of the road and the right to
build it and TO operate IL by electricity, the man
contention. that a trolley railroad imposes an ad-
ditiona servitude upon the streets, IS taken up
Il is admitted that authorities are conflicting a.
to whether an electric railroad is such an add
tional servttude; a majority Of cases apparently
hold that it is not but many such decisions Nlolate
a long.settled principle of law that private prop
ertv cannoi be taken for public uses without Just
compensation. An electric railway establishes a
fixed and exclusive right of way for private gam
plants poles and strings dangerous wires 10 front
of private dwellings, and deprives the adjacent
holder of the free use and beneficial enjoyment OF
his property 20 which he is entitled. The street
railway law Of 1891 in section four, especially
recognizes this additional servtude and provides
means for determining the compensation due TO
the abutting owners.
The doctrine laid down in a recent New York
decision is beginning to prevail In tins case the
court said in substance that the principle that the
right of the owner of ahutting property in the
street can be taken without consent or without
compensation has inaugurated a system which
resembles more nearly legalized robbery than any
other form of acquiring property.
A strong point Is made in regard 70 the recent
decision of the Pennsylvania supreme court, in
which 1t is held that street railroad company
has no right to construct its lines along country
roads, except by contract with every owner OF
property along the roads which they occupy.
This decision holds that court of equity will in
every case protect the property holder and give
him the damages 20 which he is entitled. TINS
decision is held to be full authority for all the
compliments claim in this case.
