IVERED OVER TO CORPORATION. UDGE STRIPS CITY OF POWER The most important decision ever rendered by state or federal court of Washington affecting municipalities in this state was handed down this morn- ing by Judge Frank H. Rudkin, of the United States district court, when che |granted the petition of the Seattle Electric Co. for a permanent injunction restraining the city of Seattle from enforcing an ordinance passed by the Se- attle city council in 1911, providing for the sale of tickets upon street cars of | plaintiff company. “I see no escape from the conclusion,” says Judge Rudkin in his opinion, “that the act of the legislature of this state, approved March 18, 1911, com- monly known as the ‘Public Service Commission Law,’ took away and super- seded the power of municipalities to enact ordinances such as the one here in question. “The act referred to is most comprehensive in its terms and extends the power of the public service commission to nearly all the public utilities in the state.” | THE EFFECT OF THE OPINION, IF IT IS SUSTAINED IN THE SU- |PREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, WILL BE TO TAKE FROM ALL | INCORPORATED MUNICIPALITIES OF THE STATE ANY CONTROL OVER |PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATIONS. After going fully into the provisions of the public service commission act, Judge Rudkin says: “These several provisions and others that might be cited, are in my opinion |utterly inconsistent with the existence, in one of the municipalities of the state, lof laws affecting public service corporations, the enforcemen of which is not | specifically vested in some other officer or unal. “If the plaintiff in the case obeys the ordinance in question, it violates the |law of the state, because the charges made are less than those fixed by the sched- | | Electric Co. that it had been dam- | Mexican Who May Be Permitted by from it the gold that lured aged to the extent of $5,000 a/ them north | month through the enforcement of | ; Rrwenty-five of those who [the ordinance, reauiring it te eet!
