Ruling Against NV. Company.

The cost of relocating Sheridan
road In Racine county in order to
eliminate two dangerous grade cross
ings must be paid by the Chicago &
Northwestern Railway company. An
order to that effect issued by the Wis
consin railroad commission on March
3, 1920, was upheld in a decision
handed down by Judge f. Ray Ste
vens in Circuit court. The railroad
asked a reversal of the order prin-
cipally on the ground that other prop
erty owners were benefited by the re-
location and that the commissions ac-
ton was not an exercise of police
power but of taxing power. The re-
location of the road was ordered for
the purpose of diverting travel from
two grade crossings in the town of
Mount Pleasant, Racine county. Judge
Stevens. in his decision, declared the
order that the railway company pay
the cost was reasonable and lawful
and entered judgment dismissing the
action without cost, except that the
plaintiff. the railway company, was to
pay the fees of the clerk of the court

Gov. John J. Blaine returned to the
senate without his approval a bin
granting the state railroad commits
sion the right to permit railroads to
abandon lines that are now operated
without profit. The original petition
to the railroad commission was pre-
sented by the Fairchild & Northeast
ern Railroad company. The bill was
framed II apply to several other
steam and electric roads. it is under
stood. The governor disapproved the
measure because, he said, it was con
trary to the provisions of the Esch-
CumminS law which required a per-
nit from the interstate commerce
commission before such roads could
be abandoned. THE present enact
ment very plainly covers the same
subject matter as does the transporta-
ton act. and IS therefore clearly in

said. 'that independently of the com
