Victory for Tom Johnson in Cleveland
Court Decision

Judge Tayler in the United States district
court. at Cleveland yesterday, denied the
application for an Injunction by the exist
ing city street railway corporation to pre-
vent the Forest City Railway Company, a
new concern, in which Mayor Johnson IS
credited with being interested, from taking
possession of the Central avenue line. The
plaintiff contended that the company's
franchises We're practically perpetual Tho
court ruled that the franchise had already
expired.
Mayor Johnson looks upon the decision as
a big victory in his fight against the street
railway company and for 3-cent fares. The
Forest City Company agreed 10 carry pas
sengerS for > cents.
Shortly after Judge Taylor had rendered
his decision meeting was held yesterday
between Mayor Johnson and other city ofii-
Gals and representatives of the Cleveland
Electric Railway Company. The mayor
made the proposition that in order to settle
the long-standing street railway question
the company turn over It's system TO an
operating company which could at any time
sell the property TO the city direct. The
company was to be given twenty-five
year security franchise on all lines to pro-
tect its interests. This plan, 1t was claimed.
would give all the benefits of municipal
ownership without such a condition actu-
ally existing.
President Andrews of the street railway
company surprised the mayor and the largo
crowd present by saying that he was per>
fectly willing to consider the proposition.

time for the further consideration of the
