ARGUE WARD s GOV CASE.
Counsel Says Ne7cSstand Contract
Includes Cigars and FL0zcerS.

Argument was heard by Justice Truax. in the
Supreme Court yesterday. application by
Ward & Cow. advertising contractors. for the con-
tinuanCe of a temporary injunction restraining the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company from debar-
ring the plaintiffs from selling cigars tobacco and
flowers on the newsstands erected by them on
the subway stations under their ten years adver-
tisng contract.
The city has asked for permanent injunction
straAing Ward & Cow and The Interborough from
displaying advertising signs the walls OF the
stations ard this proceeding is opposed by both
the Interborough Company and Ward Cow. who
received forty-eght hours notice from the city
thorities to remove all the signs
The InterbOrough Company, however came to tho
conclusion that the contract with Ward & Cow
which permitted them to have newsstands did
not cover cigars. tobacco and flowers, and gave
Ward & Cow twenty-four hours to get rid of them
Then Ward & Cow brought their injunction suit.
Henry c. Ward. for the advertising firm. main
tanned that the contract which provided for the
sale Of books, periodicals. newspapers and other
things usually sold newstands in railway sta
tions took in the articles objected to by the
Interborough company.
De Lancey NicoI, representing the Interborough
company, argued that Ward & Cows ten years
a year. was merely extension of the contract
held by them for the display of signs and the
maintenance of newsstands on the stations of the
elevated road. which did not permit the sale of
cigars tobacco and flowers.
Justice TruaX reserved decision.
