Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 24, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 22 November 1901 — Decision In Remington Injunction Suit. [ARTICLE]

Decision In Remington Injunction Suit.

The suit instituted by the Pan Handle railroad to enjoin the Remington corporation from making a macadamized street on what they contend to be their right-of-way, has been decided by Judge Thompson. His decision, if no appeal from it is taken, is calculated to permanently set at rest the long existing troubles between the town and the railroad. The improvement over which the injunction suit arose, was on the north side of Railroad street between Ohio and Indiana streets. The town is by the decision given 40 feet of that portion of the street; all that its officials had planned to use in the macadamized improvement. The railroad was given the full 150 feet of its original right-of-way from the w r est corporation line to New York street; 75 feet on the south side and 40 feet on the north side of the railroad from New York to Ohio streets; and from Ohio to the east corporation line on the north side of the railroad 35 running feet and on the south side of the railroad a wedge shaped strip 44 feet wide at Ohio and b 36 feet wide at the last corporation line. The decision is generally construed to be a victory for the town.
