common user privileges
over the Seattle, Renton
& Southern tracks by a
modification of the Hand
fordized injunction issued
in favor of the road three
years ago by Judge Dom
worth, is being decided
today by three federal
judges sitting on the case.
The triple court consists OF
Judges William II. Gilbert, Edward
y. Cushman and Jeremiah Neterer
Attorney Harold Preston repre-
sented the receivers OF the com
pany and Corporation Counsel
Bradford with Assistant X. s..
Pierce for tho city.
Injunction Too Broad
Counsel Pierce, In his argument,
contended that the sole question
was whether or not the Injunction
went beyond tho purpose for which
II WAS given.
He contcnded that the Injunction
covered entirely too broad scope
and precluded the city from exer-
cising It's rights under the fran.
chise
The main purpose OF this In.
junction was to stop the city from
taking any action under the fran.
chlse repeal ordinance" he said.
But the Injunction goes much fur.
ther. II In so broad IN its restrIc.
tions that II the city tried to en-
force or exert It's common user
rights would be In contempt OF
court.
The only purpose OF temper
ary Injunction In To have condi.
tlons remain the same as they were
previous to the controversy. II
should give no more rights to eth.
er party In the dispute"
Previous TO the injunction. the
city claims common user rights ex.
listed. and that the Injunction went
too far In abrogatIng these.
Attorney Preston charged that
the city has deliberately delayed
litigation In the s.. Il a. s. affairs
with tho intention OF finally taking
the road over for a song.
