IMPORTANT QUESTION INVOLVED
General Corporation Law Will be Tested

In the hearing Of the application for
a preliminary injunction, which has
been asked for by the Wilmington City
Railway Company against the Peoples
Railway Company, and which will
take place in this city on Thursday be-
fore Chancellor Nicholson, the latter

eral corporation law, the Legislature
has given the power to revoke any
charter already existing.
The point in question is this. The
chancellor has decided that the Will
mington City Company has. under It's

1t is to be determined whether or not a
charter granted under the general cor
poration law TO any corporation that de.
sires to use the streets Of Wilmington

ter granted by the Legislature, so fal
