Compromise Expected After Seven Years of Cleveland Fare Fight
Special to The Washington Just from Cleveland Ohio January 7. Supreme Court Justice Peckham sustains a ruling that neither the Cleveland Electric Company nor the 3 cent fare line has rights to Central Avenue Quincy Street or East Ninth Street. The city council granted routes to the 3 cent fare line but tracks were enjoined. Mayor Johnson argued the Cleveland Electric franchises expired in 18s and the low fare ordinance legal. The decision leaves streets without active rights while ousting old lines would cripple traffic, prompting belief a compromise may be reached to restore practical fare.
