As 1s well known, this consent was secured on the bellef by the aldermen that the suburban company intended to compete with the old motor company. A few days later it became known that the old motor com- pany had absorbed the suburban company and then the aldermen realized that they had simply played inte the hands of the old company. After referring to the actlon of the city in approving of the selaction of these addi- tional streets, the petition recites “That thereafter the putative and pre- tended stock of the Omaha, Council Bluffs & Suburban Railway company was lssued or assigned to the stockholders of the old motor company; that prior to the said pre- tended issuance or assignment there had been constructed on the streets designated in the franchise to the Council Bluffs, Lake Manawa & East Omaha Construction com- pany tracks on Avenue C from Twenty- elghth strect to Thirteenth street; Sixth street from Ninth avenue to the south city 1imits, but that after sald pretended issu- ance or assignment sald tracks were torn up and abandoned.” Streets That Are Tnvolved. Continuing, the petition enumerates the streets on which the motor company is now operating and alleges that large numbers of these thoroughfares are not the streets cov- ered by the franchise granted the Omaha & Council Bluffs Rallway and Rridge company, but are the streets named in the franchise of the Suburban company. The allegation Is made that the franchise to the Council Bluffs, Lake Manawa and East Omaha Construction company is void and of no effect for that the franchise was granted to a corporation of and by the name of the Council Bluffs, Lake Manawa and East Omaha Construction company, and neither at the time of granting the fran- chise nor at any time since then has thers been any such corporation, and the only organization having such name was the voluntary assoclation or copartnership formed by Charles R.

Reference is made to tho holding of the supreme court that the fifty-year tranchise granted to the old motor company was Invalid.
