Judge Waterman Of the Appellate
Court rendered II decision Monday
morning OF vital Importance to the
citizens Of Chicago In that II Il said
to fix beyond doubt the right Of the
Common Council to determine ut any
time the maximum fare that can bt
charged by the street car companies
irrespective Of the terms and slpciiica
tons mentioned In the franchises grant
ell them by the city.
The Importance OF the decision Il
that It recognizes the paramount au
thOrity OF the Council. Heretofore Il
has been said whenever the matter OF
fOur.cent fare has come up that the
Council was bound by the terms OF
the franchises or contracts. II it l,
stipulated In the ordinances the max
imum fare shall be not to exceed fiv,
cents the impression has been tina
the companies have an indubltablt
right to demand that fare during til,
life Of the franchise. The reversin,
and remandlny OF the Dean case by
Judge Waterman Is said to explode TIL,
theory and put the Council In the posi-
ton OF IN autOcrat 50 far rs regulat
Ing rates In the interests Of the peOpl,
III concerned.
