Legal Battle Over Indianapolis Street Railways Begins
Judge Elliott and Judge Ayers filed a circuit court suit against the Citizens' street railway company seeking to enjoin use of certain streets under the 1564 franchise. The City alleges improper sale of the old franchise to the Citizens' company and demands restoration of streets and removal of tracks on Delaware and other streets. The case marks the start of a major legal fight over rights to a north south route and franchise extensions. The Citizens' filing notes 20 years to place tracks and asserts rights under the original ordinance. The suit was transferred from the superior to the federal court, with City Attorney Jones not objecting. The Citizens' company also filed a resignation notice for trustee Stoighton J. Fletcher and elected John J. Mitchell to succeed him. Fletcher resigned May 9.
