4 Decision in Litigation Between
street Railway Companies.

Justice Barnard yesterday announced his
decision in the case Of the Washington,
Alexandria and Mount Vernon Electric
Railway Company against the Anacostia
and Potomac River Railroad Company. in
which the former asked the court to en-
join the latter from using its conduits and
running its cars over its tracks on Four
teenth Street between E Street north and
B Street south. The final decree in the
case has not been made. Justice Barnard
said: The parties being now advised of
The conclusions reached by the court may
have time TO arrange terms by mutual
agreement before any formal decree is
sIgned. if they so desire"
The litigation is the result Of proceed
ings Instituted some time ago by the Wash
ington, Alexandra. and Mount Vernon
Electric Railway Company to restrain the
Anacostia and Potomac River Railroad
Company from introducing a new electric
system on the road of the complainants on
Fourteenth Street between E Street north
and B Street south. According to the al
legations Of the complainant it was stated
that the defendant proposed to increase the
voltage Of the system from $50 to $50 volts
The matter was argued before Justice Bar
nard about month ago by Nathaniel VIII
son and Clarence r. Wilson for the plain
tin and J. J. Darlington for the defendant.
In disposing of the matter Justice Bar
nard said Il am inclined to hold that
the least Objectionable plan for both com
panies TO occupy the same roadway and
rails is for the defendant company to be
allowed the use of the conduit and under
ground construction as now existing. and
that the right to have such use is cOntem-
plated by a fair Interpretation of the va
rious provisions Of the acts of Congress
referred to. lnasmuch as the companies
have not thus far been able to agree upon
the terms Of such joint occupancy and |
use, which ought 10 be settled before pos
session is taken, am disposed to restrain 4
he defendant company from turning on an I
electric current or running its cars overland /
hus taking possession Of said portion of /
road as above described IN /
IL the terms for such possession and use !
hall have been agreed upon or determined .
