ed William P. futile temporary re-
ceiver. The application was made by

pany Mr. Tuttle filed a bond of $4,000
and hearing to make the appoint
ment ornament VIII be held on Octo-

| The reasons given for the company's
discontinuance of operations are de-
preston in business and inability to
collect outstanding accounts. The COM

for some months. and the wind-up Is
made to prevent further losses. 1t is a

| INJUNCTION CASE AGAINST CITY.
The injunction case which involves
| the right of the city of New Haven to
reopen for public travel the crossings
at Ivy and Hazel streets over the
tracks of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad company came
up in the superior court yesterday
morning.
The railroad company some time ago
| removed the planks across the tracks
and dug bitches on either side of the
tracks so that teams could not cross.
The city, through the court of COM
mon council, quite recently, instructed
the board of public works to replank
the crossings and fill up the bitches so
that the street would be open for pub
lie trayel.
The railroad company at once prayed
out an injunction to restrain the city
from proceeding with the work The
| company's contention Is that the city
| cannot re-esta blish grade crossings
without the authority of the railroad
commissioners.
The city contends that the streets
were never closed, and that the rail-
road company had no right to remove
the crossings. Yesterday morning
Judge Shumway went out and viewed
the crossing in company with the law
yers, and the trial began yesterday af-
ternoon.
