San Antonio Street Car Company seeks federal ruling on fare
The San Antonio Public Service Company filed in the U S District Court for the Western District of Texas for a temporary injunction against the city to stop interference with a planned seven cent street car fare. It asks the court to determine if the fare is just and to secure a fair return on investment under the fourteenth and fifth amendments, alleging existing city ordinances are confiscatory and threaten its franchise and revenue.
