TRACTION COMPANY MAY
BEAT GARY TO It

no rails down it could be forced to
lose its franchise given to 1t by the
count. This would bring it under
Knots jurisdiction. as the territory
was now part of the city.
Accordingly the mayor dispatched po
lice 10 the scene and the rails were
torn up and an armed guard was sta
toned nearby to prevent the company
from carrying out the terms of it's
franchise. Thereupon the company ap
piled for a mandate to restrain the city
from interfering with 1t and if this is
decided in its favor il can proceed to
operate under its county franchise and
ignore the city altogether.
on account OF the high handed ac-
tion of the mayor in the matter some
of the aldermen say that the city should
not now be asking the company to
withdraw its suit, but that the city
should stand the consequences of it's
mayors action.
