RESIDENTS Of l'..,!lI VILLAGE. ! ll!;
Threaten to Tear up the c.
D. & M. Roadbed.
Traction Company Shows Signs Of
Weakening -Overtures for Settle
ment are Made.

Applications for an injunction to
restrain the Columbus, Delaware &
Marion Traction companv from oper.
ating cars in Worthington is made
by the village in an answer and
cross petition it filed Saturday tc
the suit of the traction company
to enjoin the village council from
tearing up the company's tracks
following the recent revocation OF
the company's franchise.
The village, in its answer, re-
peats its charges that the franchise
hns been violated.
Indications Sunday night were
that the Columbus, Delaware &
Marion intemuuban road was at last
willing to concede at least a part
of the demands made by the people
of Worthington, and that the old
fare of 10 cents straight each way
might he restored.
Couneilmen at Worthington were
called up by phone Sunday and
while they had heard rumors that
the road was about to surrender an
part, the story had come to them
in round about way. Indirect
overtnres had been made, they
said, for d settlement Of the trouble
along lines closely approximaiing
the demands of the people of Wor-
thingtcn. A mass meeting will he
held at Worthington Wednesday
night to consider the situation.
The history of the snarl between
the village and the railway in brief
is as follows: The road raised the
fare Aug. 81 between Columbus
md Worthington to 15 cents one
way or % cents a round trip. The
fare before this was 10 cents
straight each way. Wmthinston
council then met and adopted a
resolution stating that the COM
panv had violated the provisions Of
its franchise not only in aaisino
the fare, but also in not paving be-
tween the tracks, lowering them to
the street level and had not con-
formed TO the half-hour schedule.
The company was then ordered to
take up its tracks and abandon the
Of the village.
Judge C. G.. Williams then went
before Judge f.. b. Dillon and got
out a temporary restraining order
to keep the council from tearing
up the tracks. This writ was
served on all but two of the coun-
cilmen late at night and served
only to fan the flames of, anger in
the village.
Next the road posted an order
that the ears, instead Of stopping at
the crossings should stop to take
on and let off passengers before
the ears came to- the crossings.
As the vehicles are long and the
are not improved this made
the passengers hop ont in the mud.
SATURDAY. the village council
through its attorneys filed an ans
wer and cross-petition asking for
an injunction to make the company
remove its tracks from the village
streets. The people .bere say they
will back council in its fight for
lower fares and tther provisions
they claim the C. ID. & NJ. fran.
chise calls for. Early this week
special session Of council will be
held to take further action prior
to the mass meeting. State Jour
nal.
