LOUISVILLE v. CUMBERLAND TEL. & TEL. CO.

No. 761.

225 U.S. 430 (1912)

32 S.Ct. 741

56 L.Ed. 1151

CITY OF LOUISVILLE v. CUMBERLAND TELEPHONE & TELEGRAPH COMPANY.

Supreme Court of United States.

Decided June 7, 1912.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. Clayton B. Blakey and Mr. Huston Quinn, with whom Mr. Joseph S. Lawton was on the brief, for appellant.

Mr. William L. Granbery and Mr. Alexander Pope Humphrey, with whom Mr. Alexander Pope Humphrey, Jr., was on the brief, for appellee.

MR. JUSTICE HOLMES delivered the opinion of the court.

This is a bill to prevent the enforcement of an ordinance of the City of Louisville fixing telephone rates, passed in 1909, after the attempt of the city to deprive the appellee of its franchise, when that seemed likely to fail. See Louisville v. Cumberland Telephone & Telegraph Co., 224 U.S. 649. The question raised is the usual one of confiscation.
