Southern Indiana seeks injunction against railroad commission ruling
The Southern Indiana Railroad Company sues in Brown County to stop the Indiana Railroad Commission from enforcing its gravel rate cut. The suit says on August 13 the commission ordered a max rate of 25 cents per cubic yard and 60 cents per ton for gravel hauled from Evansville Indianapolis lines to Elnora Odon and Union switch, and that 1905 and 1907 acts creating the commission are unconstitutional.
