Cannot Reduce Earc.

A Detroit, Mich. dispatch this after
noon says; Judge Swan, In the United
States district court today rendered a
decision which denies the validity OF
an ordinance passed some months ago
by the city council requiring the street
railway companies TO reduce rates OF
fare 10 three cents. The court says
there is nothing In the charter Of the
city which authorizes such an ordin-
ance and allows an Injunction to re-
strain the city from enforcing II. Said
Judge Swan:
ITO enforce this ordinance would be
an act not OF regulation but Of spolla-
ton. The police power includes the
general management as regards the
protection Of life and property and the
accommodation OF the public but the
legislature Itself could not affect the
fares agreed upon. 1t might be for the
welfare OF the public that fares should
be abolished altogether, but that would
be confscation and could not be toler-
ated
"A contention Of the city, In defending
the Injunction suit, was that since the
older ordinances provide that rates OF
fare mot exceeding five cents could
be charged that the city had power TO
regulate the rates at reasonable fig
ures' The court holds that the sub
stance or meaning OF all these ordln-
ances permits FIVE cent fares, which
privilege cannot afterward be an
nulled."
