Co. _v._ Covington, 235 U.S. 537 (1915), the Court sustained a munic.i.p.al ordinance which prohibits the company from allowing pa.s.sengers to ride on the rear or front platforms without suitable barriers, and requires that the cars be kept clean and ventilated and fumigated. However, provisions of the ordinance that cars shall never be permitted to fall below a certain temperature and regulating the number of pa.s.sengers to be carried in the cars were held to be unreasonable and violative of the commerce clause.

There was no unconst.i.tutional interference with interstate commerce by a munic.i.p.al ordinance which directed a railway company to remove its tracks from a busy street intersection. Denver & R.G.R. Co. _v._ Denver, 250 U.S. 241 (1919).
