DECISION IS
AGAINST CITY
MAJOR CLAIMS OF TROLLEY CON-
PANY ARE UPHELD BY
HIGH COURT,
IN MINNEAPOLIS "SIX FER" CASE
Limited Franchise Contention of the
City Is AIIoWed.-Opinion Rep.
resented Hard Blow for
Municipal Control.

Washington, Jan. 4.-The United
States supreme court held to be invalid
the ordinance of 1907 requiring the
Minneapolis Street Railway company
to sell six full-fare tickets for rs cents.
The opinion was written by Justice
Day and sustains the contention of
the company that the ordinance i'm
pairs the obligation of the contract
implied in the charter of the company
which was issued in 1873. This char
ter runs for SO years and authorizes
the charge of cents for each fare.
Justice Day, in some respects, mod
flied the decision of Judge Lochran of
the United States circuit court, who
upheld all of the company's conten-
tons. One of these was that the
charter runs Is years longer and no.
20 years. This, and few other miner
matters, we're decided in favor OF the
city.

Five Cents for Three Miles.

The Washington dispatches indicat-
ed that the supreme court has upheld
adj the principal contentious of the
company. Under the 1873 charter the
company was given the privilege of
charging 5 cents for a continuous ride
of not more than three miles. Accord.
ing to the decision this rate can be en-
forced if the company so desires.
The transfer ordinance is, however,
not invalidated, as the Hennepin coun-
ty district court upheld it in 1893 and
the company lost all rights by falling
to appeal. The opinion was written
by Judge Seagrove Smith and remains
as the last vestige of municipal con-
troll over the street railway system.

the office received 100000 postal
