BREAUX, C. J.
Plaintiffs brought this suit to enjoin the police jury of the parish of St. Bernard from selling a franchise for running an electric ear over the road along the levee in front of their property.
The defendants furnished bond, setting aside the injunction, and thereafter the franchise was sold to the New Orleans Railway Company for $100. The distance of the franchise from a station known as “Uncle Alf’s Station” is about 2,000 feet. Plaintiffs along the road covered by the franchise own property abutting on the road, measuring about 950 feet front.
