POWER OF CITY HEADS 1
CURTAILED BY COURT
.
Regulations Governing Street;
Car Service Hit by Judge
I
Pugh's Ruling.
The |iuucr of the Commissioners to
make regulations for the government
of street ear traffic was denied l>y 1
Judge 1'ugh in the Police Court today. '
This decision, which was given in a
minor case, will nullify many regulations
regarding the operation of surface
cars in the District of Columbia.
George V. Welch ami Frank Keating, '
the motorman and conductor of ore of
the Washington I*uilu~ay and Klectric
Company's tars, were on trial ?>n a
charge of failing to stop the car they
were operating before it had crossed
the building line of the street at which
the stop was made.
' George Hoover, attorney for the railj
way company, contended that only the
j interstate commerce commission was
l empowered to make regulations guv;
enung the operation of street cars in ,
I tiic city, and said that lite Connnls- ]
sioners were assuming a power they
I did not possess in making such laws.
Judge Pugh's Ruling.
After a long argument between Mr j
Hoover and Assistant Corporation j
Counsel Hubert L.. Williams, who was I
prosecuting the case, Judge I'ugii ruled '
that tiie regulation prohibiting cars !t
from crossing the building line of a >
street when they make a stop was of t
no effect, in that the proper authorities t
had not formulated it. t
"The interstate commerce commission i
is tiie only body empowered by Congress
to make rules ami regulations for j
street railways in this city," Judge
Hugh said. Before dismissing the case.
tiie court cited a case in tiie Court of ;
Appeals \\ liijli was essentially the same ! ?
as the case under consideration, tiie
ruling of the upper court in tiiat case
being identical witli that given by j
Judge Pugli today.
NO FAVORS FOR HEARSE. j t
Law Requires That They Be Tagged. (s
Like Other Vehicles.
A hearse is an ordinary vehicle and ; d
must be treated as su h so far as the police
regulations are concerned, accord- t
ing to a ruling given by Judge Pugh in
the Police t'ourt today.
Armisteud Lewis. an undertaker, was .
arraigned on a charge of failing to have i
his hearse tagged in t'ne manner required I
by law. Lewis told the court be was
under the impression that vehicles used
in funerals were not required to have
these numbered tags attached to them.
n?? IhHp-^ Puch disabused bis mind on i
tills point.
Lewis was allowed to go on Ills promise )
to e<iuip all of his carriages and hearses
with tags as prescribed by the police
regulations.
