Cleveland City Tears Up Tracks in City Battle
City workers under Mayor Johnson and Chief Kohler tore up Cleveland Electric Railway tracks on Ulton Road between Lorain and Franklin as injunctions failed to stop the operation. Deputy sheriff served papers, but work continued amid court deliberations. The move, supported by municipal leaders, aimed to clear way for a three cent fare system and municipal ownership, pitting city against the Cleveland Electric Railroad for five years of legal clashes.

Rates for Grain May Be Adjusted
The Indiana Railroad Commission will visit Lafayette to investigate four complaints by shippers about export grain rates. The Lake Erie & Western in Lafayette is higher than the Chicago division of the Big Four for the same distance, by about 1 to 2 cents per 100 pounds. The commission will examine the matter, and if grounds exist, may demand remedies or take the case to the Interstate Commerce Commission for adjustment. The excess rate reportedly applies to all roads except the Chicago Big Four division and the E and I.
