City Ordinance Reducing Them Is De-
clared Invalid.
Detroit, March 19.-Judge Swan, in
the United States district court, has
rendered a decision which denies the
validity of an ordinance passed some
months since by the city council, re-
Quiring the street railway companies
to reduce rates of fare to 3 cents. The
court says there is nothing in the
charter of the city which authorizes
such an ordinance and allows an in
junction to restrain the city from in-
forcing it. Said Judge Swan:
ITO inforce this ordinance would be
an act not of regulation, but Of spOlia-
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 confiscation and could
not be tolerated"
A contention Of the city in defending
the injunction suit was that, since the
older ordinances provided that rates
of fare mot exceeding cents" could
be changed, the city had power to reg
ulate the rates at reasonable" fig
ures. The court holds that the SUBJ
stance or meaning of all these Ordi-
nances permits 5-cent fares. which
privilege cannot afterward be an
nullpd
