Last Kick of Electric Mule on Canal Path
The Supreme Court upheld the state in a six year struggle to oust the Erie Canal Transportation Company from the Erie canal bank between Cincinnati and Dayton. By sustaining the state's demurrer, the court affirmed lower courts that the company failed to meet its charter terms and thus had no right to operate under the lease. The electric mule venture, authorized in 1898, built electric motor boats and tracks along the canal bank, but the project was abandoned with no boats ever operating.
