to a Lincoln linn without any
ftition. A another reason why
liould not pay they .said that
.vingvlhe cost no charge was
- against the street railway, its
- r, Raymond W. Koontz, being a
ioer of the council, at that time.
.'lo paving row was appaiently a
lively one. At one time the
VI
pit -ostants used the newspapers to
w;. n the council that they must ex
pe i a fight. "We mean what we
s:; . Don't believe anything diffcr
cir," was a part of the warning.
I he city won in the court below,
and its attorneys made considerable
sp"t over the dragging in of the
sti't car line. It was built many
ynu- ago, to connect Red Cloud with
thr -tation under the hill a long dis
tai,' .- away where the railroad ran.
It iid not pay, and has since been
abandoned. Its owner did not con
sW. i- it worth while to put in heavy
in ' after the paving was put down.
H; Kot a set of wheels for tho car
tl. i would permit it to run on broad
tii . while the car was crossing the
paung, and then drop back onto the
ord'nary tread where the rails joined
the end of the paving. The city at
torney thus treated the street car in
cident: "Objection C is somewhat surpris
ing. It is true there was in Red
Cloud a street railway, which was
operated more from romance than for
any other reason. It was operated
without a franchise and existed only
by MiiTcrancc. It was purchased by
tl.i' then owner for the extravagant
su'ii of 075.00. ' This included the
bo cars. The substantial character
of its track, and the impermanence
of it-i existence, may have occasioned
it to be overlooked. In any event,
w'on the pavement was put down, it
was found that the rails 'were too
lisjht and small to be built into the
pavement. The track was thcrcfoie
taken up, and the distinctive feature
of the city's claim to notoriety was
abandoned.
"It is hardly presumable that the
statute would impose upon the owner
of this street car line, who had no
franchise, the burden of building a
new line, and operating it at a lots to
meet the exigencies of the pavcmcit.
But if the' law required this, it is no
defense to these plaintiffs, and no
justification for them to refuse to pay
the portion that might be assessed
against their lots. When they brought
their injunction, they did not object
that the street line was not to be as
sessed its proper amount, but they ob
jected to any assessment at ull. If
the street car line were to bo assessed
it would bo assessed at the meeting
tho plaintiffs sought lo enjoin. Had
the plaintiffs seriously desired that
the owner of the street railway com
pany should ho. charged with the ex
pense of paving between the tracks
they should have permitted the board
to act in the matter of equalization.
"Again, no one of the plaintiffs, by
testimony or otherwise showed to the
trial court that his assessment would
be higher because of tho abandonment
of the street railway. For aught tho
proof shows, the street railway track
was in front of the property of others
than the plaintiffs.
"Council are hardly justified in
their insinuation against the dead
owner of the street railway. It is
true that, by abandoning his railway,
he escaped the burden of changing
the' rails and paying a portion of the
assessment. He was tho owner of
six lots which boar their portion of
the assessment. He probably regret
ted, as did most of the people of tho
city, that tho street railway must be
abandoned. Rut if its abandonment
was necessary, all questions relating
to tho street railway arc out of this
case."
