The Dallas News report from
Austin shows that the Supreme
Court o( the State of Texas has
granted the application for writ of
j error asked by the City of Denison
in its case with the Street Car
Company as to putting a new
track and switches along the en-
tire 300 block on Main street.
The brief history of this case is
that the Denison and Sherman
Railway Company desire to put in
switches and a track in the entire
300 block - on Main street. The
city council objected to this and
.would not let the same lie put in

that switches on the entire length
of the 300 block would almost
ruin that part of Main street, and
that the switch was unnecessary
because the company had a “Y”

two blocks away on the other side

long drawn-out controversy be-

There is a good deal of ginger
about the present administration.

to the Gazetteer as though both
parties ought to concede something
to feach other and settle everything
so that the company and the city
can get along all right together
without any more law suits.
