Conclusion of tho Arguments of Coune" solsaSpeechien of ¥lon, Lyman Trume bull nud John N, Jowett, Enge Tho Hon, Lyman Trumbull continued his argument in behalf of tho objectors to tho Lin- coln Park nesossmont, bofore Ohlef Justico Will~ inms, yestorday forenoon, He called tho ntton- tion of tho Courxt to o large number of authori- tion in support of his ngsortion that tho nssoss- ment and the lnw undor which it was made wore unconstitutional in .many particulars. Tho fol- lowing wore the most important points raised by him: That tho Conetitution mado it impora- tively necessary for tho Lioglslature to incorporato or reproduce in the smendatory sot tho full toxt of tho aot amondod. This, hie contended, had not: boon done in tho cagoe of the law under which tho contested assessment had boon mado. That tho objoct of the law must be clearly eot forth and oxplained by ite titlo. In this respect, also,, tho Lincoln Park law was dofoctivo, and for thoso two reasons it was unconatitutional and} vold. ‘That tho Park Commissionors wero com-1 pelled by tho law to purchaso within a yoar the! Inud for which tho npsossmont was mado, and, that with tho flrst yoor's installment of tho as-, tussnont and tho salo of bouds only nhout, £500,000 could bo raised, which would not-bo sufliciont to make tho purchnse. For this rea- son tho lnw was improcticablo. That the as- sessment would creato o subsoquent indobted-. ness, as tho bonds would have to bo taxed; and this also rondered tho law unconstitutional, Judgo Trumbull nrguod these propositiona nt ' ront longth and with muoch logienl ingenuity. , Ty u‘pc:c tool up tho time until noon, and nt | tho closo the Court adjourned for dinnor. . 7. N, Jowott, ono of tho counsel for tho Park Commigsioners, commenced the closing nr- gumont upon tho rcassombling of Court in tho afternoon. 1lo anmounced, in opening, that ho . would confine himself to tho constitutional pro- visions under which agscasment and tax levies woro mado, and would firat slkotch tho history of ! Lincoln Park, in order that the mattor on friul || might bo moro thoroughly understood. ‘I'his ho | pracesded to do, oxplaining Low cemotery and ! other lands Iying along the lako shoro woro de- ' voted to - perk purposes, Ho denied tho ascortion of Judge Trumbull i that tho [8ECEBMONG whicl gavo | risa to tho suit wasa cunning sehomo of Iand- doalers to increngo tho valuo of thoir property af | the expenso of others, After Lincoln Park had racolved lognl recognition for tho firat timo, ! there wero threo soparato and distinet parl pro- | jects in tho differont directions of tho city aud | unrrmmmug towns, Thero wera throo soparato and distinet bodics of Park Commissionors, ono ; body baving certain sots of powers, another - body snothor sot of powers, aud anathoer body : o powars at all. ‘ho Lincoln Park Commis- siohors wore in the Inst namod condi-| tion, and it becamo ‘nocessary to give thaml nuthori by, in order that neoded improvements to ! tho park ‘might bomado, Mr. Trumbull's ar- ‘ and thoreforo it way not necossary to roproduco gumont was that this ought to have beon dono under o gouoral Inw. But this was Impracticablo In tho highest dogroo, What would bonofit tho : West Bido might ruin tho Bouth Bide, und bo of ¢ no good to the North Bido. Tho objoctors' first | objoction to tho nssossniont was that tho law< under whicli it was mado does not apply to Lin-+ colu Park, Deciuse’ tho conditions whlch rondor tho lnw applieable donot exist in tho caso of'l that pork. " Thoy claimed that tho lnw provided for tho completion and imnprovement of the | park, and not for tho purchasa or condem-; nation of land. His answer to this woa that tho boundarles of tho parky lind boon fixed by tho law, and a largo portion ntfi tho Iand had been givon by the clty, ‘Thore yot romainod, in order to compiate tho™ logal boun-, darlos, tho land for-tho purchnse of which the.;| assesamont had boon lovied, and it was mado thos duty of the Commissioners to make tho nddl- tion. Vat, whon thoy dn this, tho objootora con-|| tond that ho provisions of tho law for the comw letion and munagomont of tho park woro notr Eelng carried out, T'ho sponlor thought tho ob-¢! Joction would not stand o critienl oxamiuation by, tho Oourt, end thon went on to argue tho jurig-+ diction of the Court in tho premiscs. IHo conld* not undoratand tho objections as to the charactory of tho Liucoln Park lnw. 1t was called spocial, (| genoral, and amondatory, and its invalidity was: clnimod on all_threo grounds. Qranting that it wad alocal and spocial tsx, 88 assortod, it was 4] still contitutional, beeauso tho Constituflon did not [i:ohlbib the pnm;ngjt: of on act of the cluss tof which tho one undor discussion belonged. ‘The Constitution did not prohibit the Logislaturo | from passing local, spoclal, or general laws on | the subjoot of parks, There was neither an ox- | prosg or implied prohibition as to parks in the, spocifications of tho Constitution, unless it was ™, contained in the ono which dircots that n spacial law shall not bo granted where a gonoral law will auswer, Dut - that did not apply to tho cago - undor cousidorntion, A goneral law covering: tho whole suufeot of parks was fmprusticablo, ay it would boneflt some and infuro othern, Tho objection that the law ‘was invalld becauso the amondod portlons of the old Iaw wero not roproducod in the now, was consid- orod a paor ouno, ‘Tho amondod portions were, 1 decidod invalid and vold by the Bupreme Court, ) them. Asa mattor of law, thore was nothing to amond and nothing to reproduce, as tho ro- Jocted sections of tho old luw were without forco sud vitality, Another objoction was that the title of tho law did not ot forth thoobjeot of it. 1t wes based on tho ronsoning that the enlarge-~ mont of the park did not fmply its completion and fmprovement, The spoaker could not un- dorstand how o public park could bo completed or Improved without first noquir- ing posseasion of tho land of which the park was to.bo composed. The obtaining of land was tho initial stop toward tho complation and fmprovement of a park. Thorofore, tha titlo wau slgnificant of what the law contalned, and, thorefore, thoro was nothing in the objeotion, ‘Tho axsorsmont waa clsimed to bo fnvalld be- causo {t had not boon mado by corporate author- itlos for corporata purposes. The speaker had heard no dofinition of the two words, *corpo- rato purposes,” and bolioved that thore was no limit to thom within the limit of logislative thority. Corporato purposes wero as dlfforont ag tholaiva under which muniolpal corporations wore organizod. To hits mind tho seouring of tho park was a corporato purposo, the power to sccuro it having boou conforred upon cortaln porsons by logislativo nuthority. Tho offect of tho park in improving and onhanclog the value of surround- ing proporty mado tho assossmont one for a cor- porato purposo, And tho objectors' property was onhanced in value far hboyond what was otated by thelr counsol, Inatond of tho nssors- ‘mont bo{ug §400,000 on 890,000 worth of prop- orty in the Town of TLako View, that amount wat Jovied on 815,000,000, for tho onlargomont and improvement of tho park would {nerongo tho valuon to that oxtont. 'Ilie’ objeation as to tho corporato authorities ‘was that tho law did not speoify that iho Astossors and Buporvisors of tlie two towns .wora to bo luown na guch suthorities, These officors had cortain dutlos to porform in thelr township fiuvummunls, they wora tho moat prominont au- horitios in tho towns, aud it was compstont for tho Loglslaturo to soleot thom for the {mrpmzu of making tho park assossment, rathor than lhave anotlor #ot of officers oletted, No constitu- tional provision had boon pointed out of which that solection or appointmont was nn infringe- ment, Though' tho law did not speeify tha c porata suthoritioy, its offoct was to malio tho As- Bossory and Bu{wrvlunm such authorities, and hinve them not undor tholr ocaths of offico, Another portion of tho samo objection was that tho Asseasors nud Buporvisors of tho two towns had combined togethor for tho purpose of mnk- ing tho nscossmont. As it had beon shown that tho Jaw, ovon though it might bo n spocinl ono, wag not on that account unconstitutional 80t could ba_shown that tho Leginlaturo was, not roatrictod in its power to dotermine who shonld carry out tho provisionsof tho lnw. It waa compotont for the Legislature to endow the Assosgord and Suporvisors of tho two towns with absoluto authority to mako tho assessment for o purpose of. oqual intorest to both, and thoro was nothing in the Conutitution prohibiting it. Thoro was nothing in tho objection thnt the objects and purposes of tho asscssmont wore indefinito, It was distinetly set forth in the law that it was to bo ueed in the purchaso of land and tho pay- ment of honds, - A cloarér or moro conolusivo statemont could not ho mado. Another ob- Jection - was that tho . nssossmont was mude payable in Qwontf; yoara, Tho Commis- sloners woro not to biamo for that., Itwasa Ioginlative provision, and, {f tho land could not be purchnsed right away, it ‘would havo to bo accumulated pioce by ploce, until the whole way socurod, ‘The Commissionera were not com- pollod to purchnse the land in ono yoar, and wero 1ot compolled to make n condomnation until thoy folt able to pay. Tho objoction that tho Assossmont Donrd has mado tho assessment without sufliciont information concerning values was not n good ono., It was olaimed - that tho nssossmont wos too high, but the spoaker thought it was o wiso procoeding on the part of tho Assessors to put on suficiont to cover the oxponso of litigation; which invarlably followed o lfluulnl agRossmont. r. Jowott orlticlzod soveral othor loss important objeotions, and closod with tho_statomont_ that tho fato of tho North Bido and Lake Viow dopended on tho decision of tho Gourt: If tho assossmant was not allowed, all improvoments of Lincoln Park would bo ab an ond, Ho bollovod that the lovy had boen mado with fairnoss, and could not beimpenched, It tho objectors wore defoated, the Iand would bo purchased, tho park would bo' completed, and tho North Division would become what it ought t;hl’w, tho finost realdenco portion of the City of cago, Judgo Willilams announcod that_he wonld ron- dor n decision at an carly day, and tho Court ad- journod, ST.
