Judge dismisses bid to block Boston Elevated West End merger
Judge Colt of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed Anna M. Young's bill to nullify the merger between the Boston Elevated and West End Street railways. The $5000 West End bondholder argued the Legislature's act unconstitutional, but the merger would merely transfer West End's business and liabilities to the Elevated, leaving her contract rights unaffected.
