City of Dubuque, a Municipal Cor- poration, Plaintiff, , vs. Dubuque Electric Company, a Corporation, Defendant. This cause carne on to be heard at this term, and was by agreement submitted for final hearing upon the pleadings, awl being argued by Council and considered by the Court, it is upon consideration thereof, ordered, adjudged and decreed by council and considered by the court, as follows: 1. That the provisions as to rates of fares contained in the defendants franchise ordinances, set forth in the pleadings herein, do not con- stitute a contract between the plain- tiff and defendant that the said pro- visions were and are beyond the power of the plaintiff to enact, and are void, and the plaintiff is hereby permanently enjoined from enforc- ing such provisions against the de- fendant. 2. That the defendant is entitled to reasonable and just rates fo: street car service furnished by it, and that the plaintiff is empowered from time to time to fix reasonable and just rates for such service, sub- ject to the right of the defendant; to have the reasonableness and justice of such rates determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding for that purpose. 3. That the defendant is by the terms of its franchise bound, and is hereby ordered unless prevented by cause beyond its reasonable control, to furnish continuous street car ser- vice to the City of Dubuque and its inhabitants during the remaining period of its franchises, in accord- ance with all the terms thereof, ex- cept said provision as to rates of fare. 4. That for the time being, the defendant shall not charge to exceed the following rates of fare with transfer privileges, namely: (a) eight (8c) cents for a single fare; (b) seven (7) tickets for fifty (50c) cents; (c) children under twelve years of age, single fare four (4c) cents or seven (7) tickets for twenty - five (25c) cents. Defendant claims at this time, in open court, that the said rates are not reasonable or just, and the court does not determine that question, nor does the defendant waive any of its rights in that re- spect. In case defendant shall at any time desire a change in said sates, it shall first apply to the pro- per rate -fixing body, if there be such, for a change in such rates, and de- fendant shall not increase such rates until it has been authorized to do so May 3rd, 1920 by either such rate -fixing body or has been granted relief against such rates by some court of competent jurisdiction, by temporary or per- manent injunction, or otherwise. 5. That the counterclaim of the defendant as to the alleged invalid- ity of the ordinance of the plaintiff, prohibiting the operation of so- called "one -man" cars is hereby dismissed without prejudice. 6. That each party shall pay its own costs in this proceeding. To all of which neither party excepts. Dated this 30th day of April, 1920. HENRY T. REED, 0 K. Judge M. H. CZIZEK & M. D.
