CITY OWER
TO ORDER CAR
TRACKS RESET
Municipal Attorney Differs
With State Official on
Point.

The city cannot compel the In
dianapolis Street Railway to reset its
tracks, William Bosom, city attor'
ney, said today upon a question
raised before the board of works
Wednesday.
Although Bosom has been asked
to prepare d written opinion, he said
he believed further investigation
would bear out his statement.
After telling a delegation Of w.
Tenth st. property wne Wednes-
day that it could not order the car
company to relay and pave its
tracks, the board of works was faced
later with the same delegation carry
ing a statement from John w. Nc
Cardle, vice chairman OF the public
service commission. that the city
had a right TO order reasonable ex-
tensions Of utilities under Section
10 Of the public utilities laws.
The delegation, headed by Walter
w. Wise, president of the city coun-
Gil, sought to have a tracks re
paired on Tenth st. between Perish
ing and Tibbs Ayes. The utility
laws given common councils the
right to order the extensions, Nc
Cardle said.
William H. Freeman Of the board
Of works admitted that body was at
loss to know just what the laws
we're. He pointed out that the
street car company was operating
under an indeterminate permit In
stead Of a franchise, which might
modify public utility laws.
Extension orders and repair orders
to the Indianapolis Street Railway
Company from the board of works
have always carried please" with
them. and are usually blocked when
the car company said it had no
funds.
Councilman Lloyd D. Claycombe
headed a delegation of citizens who
got the board TO rescind all action
on assessments for opening Of Ash
land Ave. from Fifty-Ninth TO Six

fit roll including larger territory.
