In the equity court of common pleas
Judge Gunster handed down his opin
ion yesterday In favor of the Franklin
avenue property uwnan, and refused to
allow the gcranton Traction company
to lay double tracks In the block be
tween Lackawanna avenue and Spruce
street. The preliminary Injunction was
made perpetual. The opinion in tun in
aa follows:
The Sera n ton Traction company was
Incorporated on Oct. 2t. ISM. under and
by virtue of an act of assembly, ap
proved March 21'. 17, entitled 'An act
to provide for the incorporation and
regulation of motor power companies
for operating passenger railways by
cable, electricity or other means.' It la
leasee of the Scranton tSuburbun Hail
way company and lo of the People's
Street Hallway company of Luerne
county, and Is operating both roads by
means of electricity aa a motive power.
It proposes and has already commenced
to take up and re-locate on one side of
Franklin avenue, between Lackawanna
avenue and Spruce street. In the city of
Scranton. the track of the csoranton
Suburban Hallway company, which is
How located In the middle of the ave
nue, and to construct on said portion of
Franklin avenue, on the other side
thereof, another street car track under
authority alleged to have been granted
to the Scranton and Providence Passen
ger Hallway company, which was in
corporated by act of assembly approved
March X lMM, (P. L. 1S67, page 13X01 and
which became merged In the People's
Street Hallway company of Luxeme
county in let. It la the purpose ot tne
Scranton Traction company to operate
both roads aaa part of one system, and
by means of electrical power.
Plaintiffs Are Owners.
"The plaintiff are respectively own
ers of Improved and valuable property
fronting on Franklin avenue In the
block mentioned. Those on the west
side, except those who own on the cor
ner, have no access to their properties
from any public highway except from
Franklin, iicfore the avenue was
opened and the land In that locality laid
out in lots, the land belonged to the
Lackawanna Iron and Coal company.
After the land was laid out in lots the
Iron company sold and conveyed them
as being situate on Franklin avenue,
and 'with the privilege of using ten
feet In front of the front-line of said lot
on Franklin avenue for yard, porch.
piazza, cellar-way and bay-window.
and for no other purpose.' The plain
tiffs allege that they will be Injured
and their properties depreciated if the
defendants be permitted to do which
they propose to do and ask to have them
enjoined. On the other hand tne ae
fenJants challenge the standing of the
plaintiffs In a court of equity. They
contend that the plaintiffs have no such
rights as entitle them to be heard; that
the defendants have a vested right to
do which they propose doing, and that
the construction and operation of the
two tracks will not Injure the property
or rights of the plaintiff.
'As to the right of the plaintiffs to be
heard, I see no reason for changing the
views expressed in the opinion filed
when the preliminary injunction was
continued. It seems to me that the act
of June 19. 1871, P. L, 1360, is too clear
for argument. The first section pro
vides 'That In case proceedings in court
of law or equity of this commonwealth,
in which it is alleged that the private
rights of individuals or the rights or
franchises of other corporations are In
jured or invaded by any corporation
claiming to have a right or franchise to
do the act from which such Injury re
sults, it shall be the duty of the court
in which such proceedings are had, to
examine, inquire and ascertain whether
such corporation does in fact possess
the right or franchise to do the act
from which such alleged Injury to pri
vate rights, or to the rights and fran
chises of other corporations, results;
and if such rights or franchises has not
been conferred upon such corporation.
such courts, if exercising equitable pow
er, shall, by injunction, at suit of the
private parties or other, corporations
restrain such injurious acts; and If the
proceedings be at law, for damages, it
shall he lawful therein to recover dam
ages for such Injury as in other cases.'
Abont the Ten-Foot Privilege.
"The contention that the properties
of the plaintiffs are not bounded by
Franklin avenue, because of the ten
foot privilege, overlooks the fact that
the privilege itself is property. It may
be limited as to Its use, but it Is valu
able, nevertheless, and in my Judgment
it Is an exclusive privilege, and any In
vasion of it Is as much an invasion of a
right as' an invasion of the 150 or 160
feet behind It would be. It adjoins the
sidewalk, which Is as much a part of the
public highway as the driveway is. The
plaintiffs are assessed for grading, pav
ing and guttering the avenue, for set
ting curbstones and laying sidewalks,
and If they permit the snow and Ice to
accumulate on the sidewalk In the win
ter time they do so at their peril. The
evidence before me fairly shows that
each of these properties will be more
or less Injuriously affected by the pro
posed construction and operation of the
two tracks mentioned, which will Inter
fere with the free access to the premises
and the convenient use of the highway
on which they front. It is my duty,
therefore, under the act of 1871 quoted,
to Inquire and ascertain whether the
defendants do In fact possess the right
or franchise to do what they propose
doing.
"Aa said before, the Traction com
pany, aa lessees of the People's com
pany, claim the right to lay down a
track under the charter of the Scranton
and Providence Passenger Hallway
company, which has become duly
merged in the People's Street Railway
company. The third section of the act
Incorporating that company Is as fol
lows: " 'That said company Is hereby au
thorized to construct a railway to be
used exclusively with horse power,
commencing on Lackawanna avenue In
the borough of ficraneton, In the coun
ty of Luzerne, at or neor the depot of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern Railway company, and from thence
up Franklin avenue to Spruce street,
thence up Spruce street to Wyoming
avenue, thence up Wyoming avenue to
the upper boundary line of said bor
ough, thence by such route to and such
point In the borough of Providence as
the directors of said company shall
think most practicable and advantage
ous; also to lay a railway track from
the same point of commencement up
Lackawanna avenue to Wyoming ave
nue, thence tip Wyoming avenue to con
nect with the main track at or near the
intersection of Spruce street with said
avenue, with such turnouts and sidings
at and between the terminal points of
said railway as shall be necessary for
the proper working of the same, pro
vided said company shall have the right
to locate a branch railway up Franklin
avenue to the depot of the (Delaware
and Hudson Canal company, and to
construct said railway through other
streets and avenues to the borough line
of Scranton instead of those named, if
the directors ahall ' decide the same
more advantageous for the company
and public convenience.', - ....
' Something Abont tha Charter,
"Under this charter a railroad was
built about 18M, running from Scranton
to 'Providence, which has been In opera
tion aver alnoe. . There is no evidence
thai either of tne councils of said bor
oughs aver slf nlfled their disapproba
tion of the use of the streets and ave
nues and under the fifth section of said
act their consent must, therefore, be
deemed to have been given. Aa tha
company waa Incorporated prior to the
constitution of 1874 It was not subject
to the provisions thereof. It Is claimed.
however, that having been consolidated
with and merged into the People s com
pairy in IMS. and that company having
leased Its road to the Traction company,
it availed itself of the benefit of the act
of 1837, Y. L., 8. and thereoy made Itself
subject to Section of Article XVII. ot
the constitution, which requires street
railway companies to obtain the con
sent of the local authorities before they
can construct their tracks. I do not
think the contract with the Traction
company had such an effect. 3"ht Peo
ple s company nau tne power ot enter
ing into contract prior to tne act of 1887.
That act conferred no new power or
right upon u. Ana it is to be borne lu
mind that the consent of the borough
authorities had already been obtained
years before. The right to construct a
railway on Franklin avenue, from
Lackawanna avenue to Spruce street
is already given the company. by its
charter, and unless It has been aban
doned or lost, it still exists. Before
passing upon that question It will be
necessary to consider some others upon
which its determination may depend.
I have no doubt of the right of the
Traction company to operate the road
of the People's company by electrical
appliances whenever the latter com
puny is authorised to construct its road.
While the charter of the company pro
vides that its railway is 'to be used ex
clusively with horse power, the act of
1SS7. under which the Traction company
Is Incorporated, gives companies incor
porated under its provisions 'power to
enter upon any street, upon which t
passenger railway now Is, or may here.
after be constructed, with the consent
of said passenger railway company, and
make, construct, maintain and operate
thereon such motors, cables, electrical
and other appliances and the necessary
and convenient unpinatus and me
chunlcal fixtures as will provide for the
traction of the cars of such passenger
railway, and to enter into contract with
passenger railway companies, etc'
Suppose Pari of Road Had lleen Lost,
"If the authority given the Scranton
and Providence Passenger Railway
company as to this part of the road has
been lost or abandoned, then the Trac
tlon company has no right to construct
or operate n additional track there
under its name. On the other hand, if
that right and authority still exists.
then the scranton and Suburban Rail
way company has no right and can ac
quire no right there under existing
laws, to construct or maintain a road
of its own. It appears that this com
pany was first incorporated under the
act of (May 23, 1878. By resolution of
the councils of the city of Scranton, ap
proved by the mayor June 1, 1888, they
were given permission to construct and
operate a street passenger railway
through certain streets of the city, in
cluding that portion of Franklin ave
nue which is between Lackawanna ave
nue and Spruce street, the ground now
In question. On the trial the point was
raised that the consent of the city must
be given by ordinance and that it
could not be given by a joint resolution
I was of the opinion then, and am still
that a Joint resolution, passed by both
councils and approved by the mayor.
was sufficient. There does not appear
to nave been any method or form pre
scribed by law by which such consent
should be given, and in the absence of
any authority to the contrary I con
clude that the Joint resolution in ques
tlon was effective. Under its supposed
authority and charter the company con
structed Its road on Franklin avenue
and operated the same until the act of
IS. 8 was declared unconstitutional. It
then accepted the provisions of and
made application for Incorporation un
der the act entitled 'An act to provide
for the Incorporation and government
of street railway companies InMhls com
monwealth.' approved May 14, 1889, P.
L.; 211. The first section of this act
provides 'That any number of persons,
not less than Ave, may form a com
pany for the purpose of constructing,
maintaining and operating a street rail
way on any street or highway upon
which no track is laid, or authorized to
be laid, or to be extended under any ex
isting charter, etc.' It Is plain from
reading the whole act that under Its
provisions there can be only one rail
way franchise on the same street. It
was said by our supreme court, In pass
ing on this very statute, Justice Green
rendering the opinion, that this 'statu
tory power of Incorporation can only
be exercised in favor of a company
which will construct and operate a rail
way on a street or highway upon which
no track Is laid or authorized to be laid
under any existing charter. There can
be but one meaning to these words, and
that is if a track in already laid, or
even authorized to be laid, on the pro
posed street or highway, then there can
be no Incorporation of such company.'

Letters I'ntcnt Issued.
"Letters patent were issued to the
company by. the governor on May 20,
18S9. It Is contended by counsel for the
defendants thnt because the company
had obtained the consent of the city and
had constructed Its road on Frank)ln
avenue before the ant of 188H. and that
under the provisions of. sect Ian 20 of
said act. upon the re-Incorporation of
the company It became 'entitled to and
have possession of all the privileges,
franchises and powers conferred bv this
act upon corporations to be created un
der this act, and. all the properties,
rights and privileges belonging to such
corporation theretofore acquired by
gift, grant, conveyance, municipal or
dinance, assignment or otherwise.' Un
doubtedly that Is true. Because the act
ratifies, approves, confirms and assures
the same. But the) act does not confirm
or assure to such company any right
which it could not acquire under said
act If Incorporated thereunder In the
first Instance. To hold otherwise would.
give to a usurper of the powers of the
commonwealth greater rights than
those who obey and comply with Its
laws. While the company had the con
sent of the city, It had no right or au
thority to Invade the public highways
with its tracks. That authority could
come only from the commonwealth, and
was obtained, if obtained at all. by
virtue of the Incorporation under the
act of 1889.

avenue, they lost the tame by atandlng
by and without objection permitting the
Scranton Suburban (Railway company
to construct Its tracks there, and that
the authority has been forfeited by non
use. It is well settled that authority
of the kind In question, when conferred
on corporations. Is not lost or forfeited
by mere non-use. (Philadelphia, defend
ant, vs. Wilmington and Baltimore and
Williams, 64 Pa.. 101 Black vs. Phila
delphia, and Reading railway, M Pa.,
349. 'But If may be abandoned. In the
present case the People's Street Hall
way company did nothing on Franklin
avenue until about the time the bill waa
filed. When the work now proposed to
be done was begun, it waa undertaken,
not under the charter of the People's
company, but under the supposed au
thority of another corporation. When
the Suburban company constructed Its
track in 188( they stood silently by.
They permitted the construction and
operation of the Suburban road without
objection. When the "Suburban com
pany was Incorporated, this very ave
nue was designated In Its charter as
part of Its route, ily Indenture, dated
Dec. 10, 1890, the Scranton Suburban
Hallway company granted, leased and
demised all its street railway then built,
or In process of construction or there
after to be constructed in the city of
Scranton and borough of Dunmore, to
gether with its franchises, equipments
and property for a long term ot years to
the People's Street Hallway company.
In this indenture the Scranton Subur
ban Hallway compuuy is described s
'a corporation duly organized under the
livws of the state of Pennsylvania,' and
the Instrument Is executed by the otll-
cers and under the corporate seal of
both corporations. In its agreement
with the Traction company, dated Oct.
M, 1892, the People's company leases,
demises and to farm let all Its railway
now constructed, or to be hereafter con
structed, 'including Its leased lines.' It
seems to tne that tho indenture of Dec.
10, 1890, is an unequivocal admission and
declaration on the part of the People's
Street Railway company of the right
and authority of the Scranton Suburban
Hallway company to construct and
operate Its road on the part of. Franklin
avenue in question, and strong evi
dence that It had abandoned its author
ity to construct its road there, and I
And as a fact that said People's com
pany abandoned said authority before
the construction of Its road by the
Suburban company.
About the Ordinance
"It appears that by an ordinance, ap
proved April 1, 1893, (alter the tiling ot
this bill) the city authorities gave the
consent of the city to the Suburban
company to change their tracks on
Franklin avenue and at the corner of
Spruce street to one aide so as not to
interfere with the track of the People's
company, which they are about to build.
The city may give its consent, but It is
entirely powerless to grant authority
to the People s company to lay a track
there. That authority, as said before,
must come from the commonwealth.
and I apprehend the city is equally
powerless to grant authority to the
Suburban company to change the loca
tion of their tracks for the purpose
mentioned.
'After careful consideration of the
case, I am of opinion that the Injunc
tion should be made perpetual. Let
formal decree be prepared by counsel
and submitted for approval."
