Supreme Court backs Detroit street railway ruling
The United States Supreme Court affirmed a Michigan ruling in Detroit Citizens' Street Railway Company v Detroit Railway and city of Detroit. The case tests whether Detroit City Council could grant exclusive rights to lay tracks, challenging a 1862 ordinance and a 1891 ordinance granting rail access, with the old company contending the contracts were impaired. The court's opinion, by Justice McKenna, rejects exclusive franchise claims and upholds the city’s authority to regulate street railways.
