Northwestern Railway Beaten Again in Supreme Court
The United States Supreme Court dismissed the suit by the Chicago and Northwestern Railway Company against the town of Civero over opening Fifty third street’s right of way across Austin crossing. Lower court damages plus costs were awarded to the railroad, which argued improper seizure of private property and hardship from gatemen, while the town claimed only land use. Illinois Supreme Court affirmed the lower court ruling. The appeal was filed three years ago when Harry Pebbles was town attorney.
