Book excerpt: Excerpt from Street Railway Law, Vol. 4: A Comprehensive Working Compendium, of Important Street Railway Decisions in All Parts of the Country, Covering Practically All New Legal Questions, Including Promotion, Charter, Construction, Equipment and Maintenance Problems In presenting this, the fourth volume of street railway law, it appears scarcely necessary to make extended mention of the litigation concerning street railways and the need for managers, as well as claim agents-and attorneys, to be informed as to the deci sions of the courts. This book tells what the courts have decided, the matter being couched in language that will be understood by the layman as well as the lawyer. To quote from the preface to Volume III: In its preparation, the constant aim has been to omit nothing vital, to cover all points of interest of both law and fact; to give as much space as necessary to new and exceptionally important points, yet, on the whole, to be as brief as possible without sacrificing anything of prac tical value. It is much more full and comprehensive than an ordi nary digest would be, and is at the same time in about the same pro portion less bulky and more readable than would be the several vol umes that would be required to report the same cases in full. It is probably all that; managers or other street railway officers will care for in the way of reports on the cases covered, while such attorneys as desire to see and use full opinions, when the occasion requires, will find it a'good medium for locating such as they want, as well as a convenient handbook for many other purposes. The arrangement chronologically and something of the style are attributable to the fact that the work was originally prepared for publication in the Legal Department Of the Street Railway Review. However, it is believed that there will be more gain than loss in this last fact. The index, which has been prepared with a good deal of care, will make the contents of the book readily available.
