SEARS is IN SCRAP
Will Ask That Tri-City Railway
Be Restrained From Running
Cars Through Village.
MOVE MADE TO AID MILAN
Contention is That Franchise Was
Not Legally Passed by
Board.

An application for an injunction to
prevent the Tri-City Railway COM
pany from running its cars through
the village of Sears will be made at
10 o'clock next Monday morning be-
fore Judge BigelOw at Galva by the
citizens of the village. This is the
text of notice served upon Manager
j. +. Lardner, of the company, YES
terday afternoon by Kenworthy &
Kenworthy, who have been retained
to prosecute the case.
year ago, as is generally known,
the question of granting a new fran
chise to the company came up be-
fore the board of trustees ofsSears,
although the original instrument
according to the general understand
ing, did not expire till this year. \
fight developed, portion of the cit
liens demanding scent fares to this
city. or the sale of communication
tickets transferable among the mem
bers of each family. The company
contended that the patronage of the
line was not sufficient to enable it to
be run otherwise than at a loss were
the fares reduced. particularly as the
fare also to the Watch Tower. which
adjoins the village.
Claim of Villagers.
Several times the board of trustees
attempted to act on the matter. but
each time something interfered. a
quorum usually failing to be pres
ent. In the end. however, four out
of the six members attended meet
ing and the proposition carried by a
vote of to l. The claim of the vii
layers now is that the franchise was
not legally passed because a major
ity of the whole membership of the
board did not vote for it. This is
understood TO he the ground upon
which the injunction will be asked
for.
The company claims that two menr-
bers- of the village board had resign
ed when the franchise was granted
last year and that accordingly a ma
iority of the board then in office
voted for the measure. 1t has been
suggested that i'm the event of the vii
lage being successful in securing an
injunction. the company may simply
go around it. reaching the Watch
Tower. which does not lie in the
limits of the corporation. from ano-
ther direction. The board of trus-
tees at its Hast meeting appropriated
$50 To fight the company, and some
of the residents stand ready to ad-
vance additional amounts when nee
essary.
