Judge Smart's Opinion in Bridge Case Shapes City County Roles
The judge states the injunction would not stop placing a railroad on the bridge and questions who bears costs. He argues the city may collect revenue from the railroad and may transfer this to the county, making the proposed $9700 upgrade and shared earnings a prudent move. The decision centers on control, payment rights, and the future use of the bridge for rails, roads, and utilities. He notes complexities but supports transferring the right to collect about $1,000 per year to the county as wise amid municipal hesitations.
