Syllabus
<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Telephone Company — Illegal Assumption of Privilege — Can Only be Challenged by the State. The assumption of a privilege not granted by state authority ordinarily can only be challenged by the state itself in a suit brought by its proper representatives.</p> <p>2. Same — Injunction Not Maintainable by Rival Company. A telephone company has not that peculiar interest in the establishment of a second telephone company in a competitive field, as distinguished from the general public, so as to authorize it to maintain an injunction suit against its rival because that rival does not hold a license from the public utilities commission under section 31 of chapter 238 of the Laws of 1911.</p>
