LEGAL CONTEST
NEARING CLOSE
Argument in Carlisle Court in
Case of Mechanicsburg VS..
Valley Railways Co.

Mechanicsburg. Pa, Oct. ga
long drawn-out legal contest neared
its close yesterday morning, when
Judge Donald P. Mcpherson. of Ad-
ans county, sitting as the presid-
ing judge in the Common Pleas
Court OF Cumberland county. heard
the argument on the exceptions filed
on his opinion in the case of the bor-
ough of Mechanicsburg against the
Valley Railways Company. involving
the charging of $1,000 annually for
the privilege of maintaining its troll
ley line in the town. For years the
case has been in the courts, being
appealed from the county courts to
the Superior and the Supreme Courts
and then returned to the county
court for final determination.
The question involved concerns
the right of n borough to collect the
consideration for franchise in an
nual payments differing in size and
extending over q terms Of years. The
ordinance passed by the borough
council provided FOR payment as
follows: First three years, nothing;
next two years, $50 annually; next
five years. 500 annually, and there
after $1,000 annually.
The defendants seek to avoid pay
ment on the ground that the sum
is unreasonable and contends that
the amount to be paid represents a
direct tax on the corporation, which
is. not within the province of a mu-
nicipality, and also that, if in the
exercise of the police power of the
borough, it is unreasonable and eX-
orbitant.
The borough contends, in reply to
the argument of the defense, that
the sum specified in the ordinance
is the consideration 40 be paid in
return for the granting of the fran
chise to operate within the bor-
ough.
The opinion handed down by
Judge Mcpherson several months
ago determined that the contentious
of the plaintiff were correct. and
both litigants filed exceptions. The
argument yesterday was in support
of the exceptions.
Z. NJ. Biddle, Jr., of Carlisle, and
Harry NJ. Zug. of Mechanicsburg,
were attorneys for the borough,
while Walter NJ. Sharp. of Chambers
burg. represented the defendant.
The decision oyerruling or main
tanning the exceptions filed by the
defense will put an end to this case.

years. and decide an i'm portant ques-

tions OF municipalities and corpora
