f., IMPORTANT DECISION.

Electric Limos Must Fay for Their Right

MILWAUKEE, April 8.-An important
decision was rendered by Judge john
son in tho South Milwaukee crossing
war between the Chicago and North.
western road and the Milwaukee Elec.
trio company. The decision is Of es.
pecial Importance to steam railroads
which have been watching the case
closely, it being the first to bring be.
fore court the question of the right
to use country roads 40 the right Of
way for electric railways. The court
says in effect that electric companies
cannot make use Of q road as right Of
way where it is the intention to carry
anything except passengers. witho:-t
paying damages to the abutting rsap
erty holders. This applies to cit IS as
we'll as to tho towns and villages.
The steam companies all over the
country have been viewing with con-
siderable apprehension the advance Of
the electric lines, which have made
great inroads on their revenues by
competing for suburban traffic. While
the steam companies have been obliged
to condemn and pay handsomely for
their right Of way, the electric com.
panies have been making use Of the
public highways without paying cent
therefor. .:' @@ .&5

Brooklyn Eagle: We do not
believe that the people of the
country desire to see the railroads
baukrupted by the numerous re.
pressiye measures that have been
brought to bear against them, and
if it be possible that they can

combination, subject to the
scrutiny of the government, we
think they should be allowed to

worthy in this relation that the
