APPEALS TO COURT
PETITION FRAMED ASKING FOR
AN INJUNCTION.
The Company AllegesThntlt Has In
contestable Rights on the Nay Aug
Park Loop Routo nnd That the City
Is Unlawfully Interfering with Its
Exercise of Them Cars Continued
to Run Yesterday, but n -Police Offi
cer Prevents Any Construction
Work Mr. Sllllman's Statement.
Nothing v.ns done by tne mayor yes
tot day to carry out tho councils be
hest In the Nay Aug patk loop matter
except to continue an oillcer on duty
at the Intel section of Mulberry street
and Arthur avenue to prevent the com
pany fiom connecting up the two sec
tions of the extension.
Cars were run all dav on the Mul
berry poitlon of the loop, carrying nasi
setigers from Prescott avenue to the
park entrance at Arthur avenue.
When asked why the cars w ere per
mitted to run when councils had di
rected him to stop them, the mayor re
plied. "We will attend to that lit due
time. There Is no occasion for hasty
action."
General Manager Sllllman, of th"
trolley company, decided yesterday
11101 ning to proceed along the lines
suggested by The Tilbune's editorial
"If we have any lights on thos,
streets," said Mr. Sllllman, "and we
are confident we have, It Is our dutv
at this time, as The Tribune sajs, .
asseit them. It was our wish to have
thivS matter settled without recourse
to the courts, but that Is now Impossi
ble. "Our attornevs, Wlllard, Wairen .t
Knap), have been Instructed to pru
1 eed to establish our lights on thesi
streets. They nre now wot king on a
petition for an injunction to 1 est rain
the city from interfering with the
wotk on these streets. Tills will bilng
the matter before the court and give
us the oppoitunlty we seek of piovlng
our contention that we aie not obliged
to consult the city In entering upon
those streets.
"Wo secured the light of way theie
from the Lackawanna Iron and Coal
company In August, 1S93, a month lie
foie the city purchased Nay Aug paik
and a couple of years befote tiny im
provements were made on the streets
In iiestlan. These rights were condi
tional upon our grading the streets
and we have fulfilled that condition
at nn expense of $0,000. We bought
that light of way through private
property at n large expense and w"
propose to maintain our rights"
Mayor Molr declares himself not
wholly In svmpathy with the action
of councils, but Intpnds to sign tie
resolution and obey Its mandate, nev
