NOBLESVILLE. Ind. Aug. 30-The Gen.
trail Traction Company of Indiana, which is
proposing TO build an electric railway from
this city to indianapolis, obtained a tenn
porary injunction to-day against the city
OF Noblesville. which will prevent the Coun-
ell revoking its fifty-year franchise in this
city. This step on the part of the company
was taken after 1t had learned that the
Council intended TO revoke the franchise
on the ground that the company had made
no progress with the work, a stipulation
contained i'm the ordinance when an extern
sion OF time was granted last spring being
that a substantial showing should be made
on the line before Sept. /.
This action stops the city from taking any
further steps in the matter until the case
can be heard in the higher courts. In view
of the fact that the city has arrested every
emplOye of the company that has m
to begin work. the company will make no
further effort TO build the line through
Noblesville until these legal complication
are settled. Work will be begun Monday
on the grade outside of the city.
