Civic League Victory Over Des Moines Street Car Case
In Des Moines on February 15 Judge James A Howe ruled for the Civic League in a quo warranto action against the Des Moines City and Interurban Railway companies. The league seeks to force proof of the franchise under which the street car operators claim to run, asserting no franchise exists. The decision opens the case to trial on its merits, marking a major win for local business leaders urging street usage payments.
