City Appeal Upheld In Owensboro vs Cumberland Case
The Supreme Court affirmed a lower court injunction over city control of Cumberland Telephone wires and poles, rejecting an Owensboro challenge to an August 1908 rate ordinance. Justices dissented on the perpetuity of the grant, with Day and others urging city authority to end or modify the rights. The decision notes precedents and cites a Hartford July 34 1913 meeting of the Green Rivers district union. The court may rule in Kentucky railroad rate cases in October, with Missouri and other states’ decisions aligning to Minnesota standards. A separate Missouri tax on tobacco amid tariff debate was rejected by the state finance committee.
