Lee & MODERATE TEMPERATURE - @heBulletin. | Judge Grants Partial Injunction Favoring Jitney Men Against City Temporary injunction against the city of Norwich and in favor of the drivers of public service autmobiles was granted by Judge George E. Hinman of the superior court in a decision he handed down in a suit brought by the jitney drivers. The njunction is against the resolution *| passed by the common council to discon- tinue Rose alley as a parking place for the jitneys, against the section of the new traffic ordinance establishing a Ili- cense fee, and against the so-called “ex- clusion” ordinance which would pre- vent the jitneys from doing business on certain streets in the central part of the city. However, there is no injunction now against the ordinance that locates public jitney stands. The other claims for injunctive relief, applying to other sections of the new city ordinance, are found to be without merit. In the languange of his finding Judge Hinman indicates that the new ordin- ance was lame in the “exclusion” section because this was not the establishing of “traffic routes” within the meaning of section 30 of the motor vehicle law of 1939] He rules that the power of a muni- cipality to fix traffic routes cannot be exercised merely along the line of exclu- sion, but that there must be a fixing of routes. In conformity with this line of reason- ing it seems apparent that the city can make an effective “exclusion.. . ordin- ance by drawing it up in such form as to fix traffic routes and not merely to ex- clude the jitneys from certain streets. Judge Hinman's Finding. The following was Judge Hinman's memorandum of finding: The validity of the discontinuance of the public vehicle stands mentioned in the resolution passed August 5, 1920, and set forth in paragraph 6 of the complaint, attempted to be effected by the passage of said resolution is attacked by the plaintiffs on the ground that any such discontinuance or other amendment of section 15 of the ordinance of November 3, 1919, must be by ordinance instead of resolution. The power given municipali- ties by section 30, chapter 233 public acts of 1919, to establish stands for public service motor vehicles may be exercises by ordinance only and the powers granted to the city by section 18 of its charter are to enact ordinances relating to traf- fic and the use of strects. An ordinance may be amended only by ordinance or a resolution passed with all the formali- ties and published in the same manner as a ordinance. (Dillon Municipal Corpora- tion, chapter 571.), The discontinuance of stands designat- ed in said ordinance is—notwithstanding the attempted creation of the right to dis- continue same by said ordinance. It is not claimed that said resolution was pass- ed and published in the same manner as an ordinance, and it is therefore ineffec- tive. Hense enforcement of said attempt- ed discontinuance of the stands mention- ed in said resolution should, so far as enforcement depends on said resolution, be enjoined. The amendment of said section when said ordinance becomes ef- fective, does not appear to be unreason- able as to the location ad extent of the public stands therein designated and its enforcement will not now be enjoined. The ordinance set forth as sub-divi- siop (b) in paragraph 10 of the com- plaint purports, from language employa in section 1 thereof, to provide for a li- cense “to receive passengers for hire” and the reugirements of such license would probably be permissible as to pub- lic service motor vehicles under the de- cision in State vs. Scheidler, 91 Conn. 234, The ordinance, in its entirity, how- ever, quite clearly attempts to ' license, not the receiving of passengers, for hire but to Jicense the drivers or operators of vehicles so receiving passengers. In said section one it is provided that no pub- lic conveyance shall receive passengers for hire “without it is being operated or driven by a person licensed) to so oper- ate and drive as herein and hereinafter in this ordinance provided;” section two provides that the chief of police “shan issue a license to such operator or driv- section six provides for a report of “the number of operators or drivers 80 licensed ;” and section ten avoids the license of any “operator or driver” upon second conviction of violation of .any traffic ordinance. Other similar provi- sions characterizing. the nature and ob- ject of the ordinance might be pointed out. The real purpose and effect of the ordinance appears to be, not a permissi- ble licensing of the business of carrying passengers for hire, but, as applied to the driver of public service motor ve- hicle, to require a license and payment of fee therefor” for driving the car which the state has licensed him to drive” in issuing to him a license as a public ser- vice motor vehicle operator. (State vs. Sclieidler.) At least the invalidity of said ordin- ance on this ground appears so reasona- bly probable as to justify suspension of its enforcement pending full hearing and final determination of this action. Section one of this action set forth as subdivision (c) in paragraph 10 of tne complaint, prohibits the operation of pub- lic service motor vehicles, as such, up- on certain designated streets and portions of streets in the city of Norwich. It does not purport to fix traffic routes for such vehciles nor is it claimed that it does except as, by inference merely, the streets not designated as streets from which said vehicles are excluded/are left open to use by public service motor ve- hicles. While the power conferred upon mu- nicipalities, by section 30, Chapter 233 i public acts of 1919, to fix, by ordinance, traffic routes for public service motor | venicles, necessarily includes the implied power to exclude such vehicles from streets not included in traffic routes so established. (Park City/ Bus Asscn. vs. Bridgeport), said power to exclude Is merely incident to the power to fix rout- ed and “cannot be exercised without. independently of, such fixing of routes The mode of exercise of said powe- is prescribed by the statute and to. render valid an ordinance dependent upon said statutory power the prescribed mode must be stricfly followed. (Dillon Municipali- ty Corporations. section 600.) Therefore such an ordinance, passed under the power conferred by Section 30, chapter 233, of the public acts of 1919, as the section under consideration must { have been and confessedly was, must. to be sustained, legislate in the manner pre- scribed by said statute; i. e.—by the fix- ing of traffic routes, and not solely by the exclusion from certain designated streets in the attempted exercise of i power which, as above indicated, is in- cluded only as and when a necessary in- cident and consequeence.of the establish- ment of such traffic routes. It may be that there is no difference In practical results between an ordinance such as that involved in Molzon, et al. vs. City of Waterbury, temporary injunc- tion against the enforcement of which has been denied, which said ordinance designates all the streets of the city as traffic ‘Toutes except certain named streets and parts of streets, and the ordinance here under consideration, but there the power Was exercises in the ) N prescribed mode, viz: by the fixing of traffic routes, and the exclusion .from certain streets is an incident and conse- quence of said fixing of routes; here nu attempt is made to fix traffic routes, unless by an implication far from clear and not sufficent to support the attempted exercise of the statutory power. dinance appears to me to be inv: this reason, so far as section one is con- i P “or- for TIRES cerned, and a considération of the rea- sonableness of its provisions, even if open to inquiry, is therefore unnecessary. The remaining sections of said ordin- ance set forth as subdivision (e¢), par- e complaint, being separ- rst section and consid- ered valid are not affected by the con- clusion reached as to said section one, and enforcement of said section one, only, agraph 10 of~ able from said will be enjoined. The other claims for injunctive reliet are found to be without merit. Enforcemeat of d resolution, said li- censing ordinance and said section one of ordinance (c) is temporarily enjoined. &, W. V.
