S The liearing of the Lincoln Park assessmont ¢as0 was continued bofore Judgo Willlams in $ho Clrouit Court yostorday morning. :Mr, B, T. Culver was recallod, and tostified that tho offer of sale of tho Farwell tract was firat made to the Park Commissioners, And that ho has no porsonal interest in that tract. . The diminution of patk frontage by theextenslon smounted to about 3,400 feot. . On ocross-oxsmination by Mr, Bliorey, witness statod that ho gave his individual note for £100,000 in payment for tho Farwell tract. Thero 18 no writton sgroomont botwoon witness and the Lincoln Parlc Commissioners, but ho had ox- pected tint such an sgreemont would be exo- cuted. Witness was neked concorning the nogo- $ions for tho purchase of the Milliman tract. Mr. Jowatt objected to tho testimony, and the objoction waa sustained. . 5 ‘o Mr. Jowett, Mr, Culver oxplained the giv- Ing of his noto for tho Farwoll tract. - It trana- pired thnt the Park Commiasioners had no posor to undortake such s payment, and go wituess took the rosponaibility on himaalf,. helding tnd proporty in trust for the Park Commis- aion. " Judge Trumbull—Then it was o rcheme to dodgo the provisions of tho law. 3 Mr, Culver—It was a plan wheroby this prop- erty conld be secured for the park. Judge Trumbull—But you had no right to se- ouro it undor the law, and you rosorted to this schome to avoid tho law. e _ In roply to Mr. Bhoroy, Mr, Culver stated thot he did not know how many lota iu the old cem tary woro ownod by privato partios. ; . . B. McCagg testified that thora was never any organization undor the actof 1807, providing for & Park Commission. Nothing was dono, and xio monoy was spent. Prior to tho organization of tho Lincoln Park Commission, all the im- . provements made woro under the direction of tho city nulhorities. Proporty in North Chicago and Lako Viow had been largoly enbanced by tho im-" provementa in Lincoln Park under the sovoral 1aws. - Property which boforo hod o .park front- ago ianot so much benofited by tho proposed oxtension as i8 proporty which thereby goins . park frontage.

Dr. Goodwil- lie's and Mr. Thomrsnu'u proporty would bo enormously bonefited.

That proporty would not bo benofited by tho park ontension, His Wright's Grovo -property Sronld bo damnged thoreby. 5 ".l‘his closod Lho tostimuny in the ecase on both sidos, Francis Adams, Em}., openod the srgument for tlio plaintiffs, discussliig tho objections made by Judge Trumbnll and Mr, Shorey, Tho first ob- {fictmu of tho latter was based ‘on the fack that 0 law d1d not provido for uu assessmout In pro- portion to the Lenefits dorived, Ho donied this proposition, and pointed to certain charter pro- visions by which he waas sustained. The-point had beon settled by decisions in formor cases. In the caso of Goodwillio and Thompson, who ‘claim damagos by tho park oxtension, tho "bur- den of proof was upon them to overturn tho judgment of tho Asscesment Board, : ‘Lho testi- mony of the Assogsors was that tho proporty would bo gmltly benefited by tha proposed ox- tension. . Tho samo fact was testifiod to by Mr. Mchg‘P and ‘other compotont witnessos.” This showed that the objection was not woll talen. Tn answer.to the objection of Judge Trumbnll, ho would say that the.nsscsement was moado un- dor Sco. 6 of the Park acl, which provides that the corporato authoritios of towms—Asaessors, Buperyisors, oto,—shall make the assossmont, whicl: ahall bo mado in proportion to the bene- fita conforred. to tho question of tho jurisdiction of tho Court, the speeker claimod that tho Oirouit Court had originnl jurigdiction in all cases of tho nature of thot under discuseion. Tho County Court had concurront, bub not oxelusivo, jurisdiction ; thoroforo tho proceoding was properly brough beforo the formor Couct. If tho ‘objection that the Circuit Coust - had no -jurisdiction was good, then of necessity tho Court had no jurisdiction in cases of habeas corpus, mandamus, and cnsos rolating to revenue, Tho. sposler cited sovoral aulhorities in confirmation of his argument. The ob{n‘.'flnu that the purk.act of Juno 16, 1861, although goneral in its torms, was practic- allygmondatory to prior ncts concerning Lin- coin Park, and that, theraforo, such priox acts, or. such parts of them s wore amondatory should bo insortod in tho.mow act, could not bo sustained. The new act was not amondatory in its charac- ter, though such might bo its .cifect. - In order. to mako it nmendatory it would be necessary to itisert the whole of thio old act In the neyw, aond this would render logislation 'practically im- possible, Tho Judiciary Commilteos of our important faot, and have adoptod tho ruls of insorting only tho new act, thus dolug sway with n useloss ropotition, The act under discussion was not speoial in its provisions,—it applied to oll loealitios and all Park Commissions- in tho Btato, The assosgment is alno objocted to be- causo it wns mot made by the corporato m thorities of tho towns North Chi cngo - and © Lako _View, or oither of them, who, slone, under tho Constitution, can ‘o vested with power to make improyements by upoclnl asscesmenta ; becauso, if unid Buporvis- ora and Assossora could bo rogardod as thoe cor- .porate nuthoritios of thoir respective towns, hhoy had no anthority to nct conjofutly In mehe .ing tho asscasmont ; bocauso the Cominlsgionors of Lincoln Park, who are charged with making tho improvementa to eaid perk, aroin’ no wousa the corporate authorjtics of North Chicago aud yLako View, who alono can bo ompowered to make improvements. 5 Mr, Adsms continued, that the not provided, however, that the nssensmont slill bo made by tho Bupervikors and Assessors of North Chicago tnd Lako Viow. Thoso authorities wors logally +olacted with thoir own consent, after the passage of the nch referrod to, and probably with special reforonce to theirindividual ability to carryout its provisions.' The authoritios of tho two towns ocd upon the assorsment to bo lovied, and to this an objection lind hoen raled. Dnt low could the towns be injured by tho conourront ac- tion of their corporate nuthoritiosin this matter ? Tho imnrnvnment was ono in which the district of Novt! G]Ill:{lgfl and Lake Viow—a district cro- ated by the Park act—was interestod, and it could not bo clalmod that tho corporate nuthorl- tios of cither wore.not corporato authoritios.of the district when thoy made the assossmont. Tho ssseasmont by tho corporate suthoritios of Lale Viow upon Lake View xi.rovrty, acting under the act, cannot bo vitiated by the fact that tho cor- porato authoritios of North OChicago, sotin undor the samo act, concurred with them, oand mado & aimilar sssessmony in their own town. How eould oithor town bo wrongod by such concurrent action of tho suthoritios? Auothor objection was that the aaseasment oronted & dobt against the towns of Take Viow and North Chicago, severally exceod- ing G por cont of tho taxablo 'proporty in snid towns, and also an aggrogato dob cxcuodlng 5 por cent of the valuo of proporty in tho two owns, and tho oroation of tho dobt is ot suthorized by & voto of tho peoplo of North Olioago and Lako View, or eithor of them.
