.S.P. GIVEN RIGHT TO
BUILD SWITCH TRACK
Judge Galloway DissOIves
Temporary Injunction In
Kurtz Case

Holding that the particular part of
Trade street was more valuable for
commercial purposes than for resi-.
dence purposes and that the city ordi.
hances protected the property owner
against the leaving of cars STANDING to
the exclusion of traffic Judge Galloway
today dissolved the INDUCTION in the case
OF kurt2 against the S. P. railroad for
S7ooo damages and assessed the costs TO
each party This suit was brought ia
restrain the railroad company from mt.
ting In a spur track to a mill on Trade
street. The plaintiff alleged that be.
cause Of the spur track passed in front
Of his apartment house on Trade and
Church streets and smaller private
mouse he was damaged to the extent of
$4,000. "
Ihe plaintiff claimed that he had
been unable to rent the house and that
with a spur in front Of his property II
would be impossible to drive up to the
curb with a load of wood or other
necessities. In reply to this conten.
tion the Judge said that a mud hole pre.
vented wagon from driving up at the
present time and that if the track
were put in and it was ordered that
the street should be paved that the rail.
road would be forced to pave to the
curb and to bring the surface of the
pavement up to the top of the rails
mus making perfect approach to the
curb in front of the property.
Judge Galloway went on to saw that
when the railroad first came TO this city
the depot was built SO the east side Of
town and as the mill and factory dis.
trlet had already been established
along the river front and it was neces
sary to devote one street to tracks to
the mills from the main line for tbe
regular traffic by freight. Trade
street was given over to this and the
Judge said that the plaintiff was well
aware Of these conditions when th,
property was purchased.
ut is quite the popular thing ia
stand In with the private owner against
the large corporation, said the iudge
in conclusion, "and I know the plain.
tiff to be one of the best citizens in
Salem'' However, it is necessary that
some sacrifices should be made in the
interests of the improvement of tho
city and the railroad is factor in Tho
development Of any city l think tn,
entire street should be given over t.
commercial purposes if the business Of
the city should justify it, accordingl,
the injunction restraining the railroad
from building the switch track is dis
missed -
