A federal district judge, John M Killits, issued an injunction on July 24, restraining the election from placing on the August 10 ballot two municipal ownership ordi nanoes. | APPELLATE COURT SUSPENDS INJUNCTION | But the people of Toledo, acting | thru their public officials, carried the | Killits ruling to the United States clreuit court of appeala which promptly suspended Killiu’ injune | tion, | Judge Killite t& the same federal judge who some time ago held that it was contempt of court for a news paper adversely to critixe a litigant in @ cause pending in his court.

Just before the last franchise ex pired the city counctl passed an J ordinance fixing the terma, including the rate of fare, upon which the jcompany might continue to operate |from day to day after tfe franchise expired, The company applied to Judge the city from enforeing the ordi nance, That was in 114. Since that time the street rallway |company has operated under the protection of the federal judge. The rate of fare has steadily increased from six tickets for a quagter, with universal tranafera to a sevencent fare with two cents extra for a trans fer—and every increase in fare was fixed by Federal Judge Killits. Last December Judge Killite ap pointed two commissions of citizens to negotiate two plana of settlement with Henry L. Doherty of 60 Wall st, New York City. One plan was to be the socalled Cleveland plan, the other municipal ownership. After six months the commission of busi-| ness men, which was to negotiate a settlement under the Cleveland. or cost-plug plan, reported that it could arrive at no agreement with Doherty. One of the main points of difference was the valuation, COUNCIL PASSES ORDINANCES, PUTS THEM UP TO PEOPLE The other commission, however, reported two ordinances to the coun- cil, which the counoil passed and sub- mitted to the people to be voted on at a primary election Aug. 10. These ordinances together provided for the ot 000,000 of bonds, the money to be used by the city to ac quire of construct a transportation system, to be municipally owned and Toledo Votes Today | on City Ownership of Street Car Lines board | court.

Chairman W, L. Milner returned here, however, the day on which the council was to meet. The commis sop then requested the council not |to pass the ordinance, And it was not passed As matters then stood only the | municipal ownership ordinances were to be voted upon today The next step was an application in federal court by the Toledo Trac tion, Light & Power Company for an injunction restraining the local ele: tion board from placing the munle ipal ownership ordinances on the bal lot.

Federal Judge Killita, however granted the injunction. He had come from his vacation In Canada to hear the company’s application, and he left his decision to be given out after he had left the city and returned to Canada. It way believed that there waa no chance for appeal. The federal court appeals Was supposed to be on va tion, and it looked as if Doherty's PUrpowe to get the municipal slection put off until November had been accompltahed. Prosecutor Seney learned, how. | ever, that two of the three federal appelate judges were to be in sew sion in Grand Rapids, Mich, on | Thursday, July 29.
