Judge Ewing Rules On Pittsburg Traction Board Seats
Judge Ewing decides on a quo warranto case involving William Eberhardt and Pittsburg Allegheny and Manchester Traction Company directors. The ruling centers on whether alleged non bona fide stock ownership can affect director votes and how ballots should be treated under the 1889 corporation act. The decision holds that objections prompt inquiry into stock ownership but that mere objections do not prove invalid ownership. The court finds the defendants hold a majority of legal votes and thus are properly acting as directors.
