## Opinion text

Opinion by
Mr. Chief Justice Brown,
The bill of the City of Scranton was dismissed by the learned chancellor especially presiding, because he was of opinion that jurisdiction of the complaint was in the Public Service Commission in the first instance, and he but followed what was distinctly held in St. Clair Borough v. Tamaqua & Pottsville Electric Railway Company, 259 Pa. 462 .
Appeal dismissed at appellant’s costs.
