ORDINANCE HELD VALID.
Ruling Against the Union Traction
Company, of Chicago, by
Judge Ball.
II INVOLVES A MATTER OF TRANSFERS.
The Court Holds That the Munici.,
paIity Has the Legal Right to
Regulate street Car Fares-The
Case VIII Go to the state SUP
prcmc Court.

Chicago, March 20.-Judge Ball, in
the circuit court, entered a ruling in
which he holds as valid the city ord
nance compelling the Union Trac-
ton Co. to issue transfers on all it's
lines and systems. The Union Trac-
lion Co, among other things, was
formed chiefly for the purpose of op-
Grating in harmony with the West
Chicago and the North Chicago street
raiMays-two distinct systems. If
sustained, Judge Balls ruling will al
low a passenger to travel from the
West Side limits to the terminus of
the North Side line on the payment
of one fare, where two had been paid
before. incidentally, the court holds
that the municipality has the legal
right to regulate street fares. The
case will go to the supreme court.
As it is said to be impossible for the
Traction company to secure a stay,
il is asserted that the street railway
companies will violate the ordinance
and fight individual cases in the low
er courts till the upper court has
acted on the soundness of Judge
Balls ruling, Judge Ball also ruled
that the Union Traction Co. and the
Consolidated Traction Co. (the for
mer operates the latter under a
lcase), are practically one company,
and one company must recognize the
transfers of the other; and that /,
fve-cent fare TO all points within the
city limits shall be the maximum
fare. Hitherto, citizens Of Austin
and northwestern suburbs, which,
while many miles from the center Of
the city are still within the corpo-
rate limits, have been paying two
fares one to the feeders" of the
Consolidated Co., and another to the
Union Traction Co, which completes
the routes to the city.
