Judge Murasky yesterday denied the
appIication OF the United Railroads
for IN Injunction preventing D J.
sullivan and other house movers from
cutting the compauy's wires or OBJ
structfng railway traffic in moving
houses. The court requires the house
movers 10 supply z sufficient bond in
Identifying the company against dam
age from their necessary acts and or
ders that 10 wires should be cut ex-
cept BY the company or under its su-
pervision-
In his opinion Judge Murasky dis
cusses the merits OF the case, saying
tht there is no city in the country
where conditions are so peculiar as
they are here IN a city OF so many
wooden structures, he says. the NOV
ing OF houses IS not infrequent and on
the other hand there IS no city with
such an extensive railway system and
lines interIacing 50 completely. The
Judge held that the company had a
right 70 maintain its wires and the
movers to move houses. but il must
be considered which right Is para
mount Where the moving OF houses
would result in immeasurabIe loss by
interfering with the travel Of a great
number Of people an injunction would

cutting wires is measurable an in
