MINNEAPOLIS WINS CASE
Cities Can Compel Railways to Bridge
Crossings.

Washington, April 27.-That a city
can compel railroad company to
bridge its street crossings when the
street has been established subse-
quent to the laying of railroad tracks,
Just as it can when the tracks follow
the laying out of the street, was in
effect held by the supreme court OF
the United States in deciding favor
ably to the city the case of the st.
Paul, Minneapolis and Manitoba Rail-
road company and the Great Northern
Railway company VS.. the city of Min
neapolis. The roads resisted an or
der from the Minneapolis city council
requiring them to erect bridge over
University avenue in that city on the
ground that the street was laid out
after the company had acquired Its
right of way and laid its tracks, which
they contended imposed upon the city
the responsibility of making the cross
ing safe. The case was heard in the
district court of Hennepin county,
Mimi, where the decision was favor
able to the railroads, but that deci-
sion was overruled by the state SUI
preme court The decision sustained
the Minnesota supreme court. 1t was
announced by Chief Justice Fuller.
