IS
SUSTAINED
IN RULING

Judge Virgil S. Reiter's ruling in the
case of the railroad commission of
Indiana VS.. the Grand Trunk Western
railroad in which the commission
sought to collect fines aggregating
$4,000 on account of the failure of
the railroad to install block signals as
ordered by the commission has been af-
firmed by the supreme court of the
state of Indiana
Judge Refter sustained the demurrer
of Attorney Fred Crumpacker of the
firm of Crumpacker & Cumpacker in
which the attorney claimed that the act
of 1907 was unconstitutional because
it empowered the commissioners to
order an approved block signal sys-
tenn and the term :approved block sys-
tem'' is too indefinite.
There is now another case pending
before Reiter in which the railway
commission of Indiana seeks under a
later act, that Of 1911, to compel the
Grand Trunk Western to install block
signals.
1t Is understood that Attorney Crum-
packer will now raise the question as
to whether or not the act of 1911. which
is an Amendment of the act of 1907,
which has just been declared unconstf-
tutional, does not fall of it's own
weight
The case will attract the attention
of the entire state, for the reason that
there are number of important cases
in which the same questions as those
involved in Judge Refers decision are
involved.
