Elevated Tracks Dispute Appeals to Supreme Court
Attorneys for the Indianapolis Union Railway Co file in the supreme court a brief backing Judge Carter's ruling that the city council lacked charter power to enact an elevated tracks ordinance. The brief contends surface tracks are not a nuisance and that elevation cannot be compelled without a court declaration. It notes the charter was granted without reserve to repeal or amend and cannot be amended to require elevation. John W. Kern filed a city brief weeks earlier. A decision is expected within two months.
