NORTHERN OHIO TRACTION

Will Question Legality of New Public Service Commission.

Columbus, Ohio, September 9.—That the Northern Ohio Traction Company will question the legality of the new Public Service COmmission, the same as it did the former Public Service Commission, was made evident to-day when the company in answering a petition filed with that body, denied in almost the first paragraph that the Utilities Commission had any jurisdiction over its lines.

Two weeks ago Nellie S. Chapman filed a petition with the Utilities COmmission, in which complaint was made against the Northern Ohio Traction Company, to the effect that passenger service, which had formerly operated through her property near Akron had been diverted to another line and that it was impossible for her to get adequate service.

It was charged at that time that when the franchise was granted the Northern Ohio Company it was to operate on a certain schedule through the property of the plaintiff.

In its answer the company admits all the charges of the plaintiff, but says that it has changed its route to avoid dangerous curves and to shorten the route between Akron and Cleveland. The case will be heard next week by the Utilities COmmission.
