Renew the Battle Cincinnati Street Franchises Challenge
The Rogers law extending Cincinnati Street Railway franchises for 50 years was ruled unconstitutional by the superior court. If the Supreme Court upholds, similar grants elsewhere could be voided. Judge Dempsey noted no entry until judges return from vacation, with actions possible at the legislature’s extra session. The decision shifts the burden to the general assembly as the street railway case proceeds. The suit, led by ex Solicitor Horatroan for taxpayers, targets the city board of administration’s extension amid line consolidations. The era of the Concord and Bikine Weidner syndicate ties remains under scrutiny. Revenue details show the city receiving 6 percent gross and 4 per lineal foot per car, about 216,842 in last year’s receipts, with 190,198 from gross recalpte. Despite chatter of Interurban lines entering Cincinnati, no stock-market rush occurred.
