Company Sustained.
The commissioners Lost Their Suit
to Compel the Removal of
Overhead Wires.

The Commissioners were defeated yes.
terday in the equity courts III their effort u
compel the removal of certain overhead
electric light wires, maintained by the
United States Electric Lighting Company,
as fully described in Tie Evening Times.
The matter was brought To the attention or
the court about two Weeks ago through a
suit for an injunction filed by the Commits
sioners against the electric company, in
which it was charged that the defendant
was unia wfully maintaining twoadditional
electric light wires on the north side OF
c street northwest, between Sixth and
Seventh streets, and across the sidewalk to
building ut Sixth street and Louisiana
avenue.
The Commissioners contended that the
wires W ere additional and prohibited by the
act of July 1S, SSS, which enjoined the
maintaining OF any additional telephone,
telegraph, electric light, or other overhead
wires after the passage OF that act. Itwas
urged upon the court that the wires ia
question had been erected without the
plaintiffs consent and OH December 81
notice was given to the electric company
to abandon and remove them This they
refused to do, ana the I'LL for injunction
followed
Judge Cox yesterday morning rendered
decision holding that the act of SSS did
not confer any power on the Commissioners
TO compel the removal of any overhead
wires owned by the company and main
tanned at the date Of the passage of the
Get. He decided that all overhead wires
OF the company which still remained, were
in fact Iegalized by the act OF SSS, and
no law exists to compel their removal.
Having disposed OF the question OF law,
nc then went into that of fact as to
whether or not the wires in question were
abandoned or additional. IN supporting its
contention the United States Company filed
numerous affidavits, which showed cOnclu-
sively that the two wires We're really as
representeIinthecomp sanswer Judge
Cox, therefore, held that as they We're
neither additional wires or the renewal Of
abandoned ones, they did not come within
the provisions OF the prohibition statute
Tie temporary injunction was dissolved
and the company permitted to maintain
the wires as they now exist

One of the results Of the congress, Mr.
Tupper reported, was the formation of q
state league for Florida, to further agitate
the subject and secure favorable legisla-
tion. Florida has the facilities, he be-
lieyes, for making good roads at less eX-
pense than any other State. There is no
grading necessary, and good material is
accessible, as stone, shell, clay and fiber.
A sample of section OF shell road was on
exhibition at the congress, which had been
taken from one of the streets of De Land
1t had been in constant use for three years,
and afforded the evidence that no other
material eXcelS it,
The next congress is likely to be held at
