Tur EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE, P ol et el CLARK STREET AND THE ROCK ISLAND RAIL- ROAD. . General Superintendent Riddlo, of the Chicago, Rock Iland & Pacific Nailroud, statcs, in regard to the movement of property-holilers on'Olark street to compel thein to vacate that horoughfaro, that tho right to run on Olark strect was granted them some twenty yoars ago, but they would bo willing to vacata the stroot If they 'could buy tho property thoy would need at ansthing like a reasousblo figuro, Tho Mich- Jgan Southiorn Kallrond, which also” formerly run on Clark ptreat, but never hind any right to do 50, bought {lto propetty i tho rear of thnt strcot, aud fafd Hhictr track thore, At that timo goveral real-catato specti~ Iators, and particularly Messrs, Jenks, Meyors, and Norrie, bolleying that tho Rock Ilond ltond aleo n- tended to move, bought up all the property thoy coutd acquire, nnd now Lold it at oxorbitant figures, Olark strcat, 3r, Riddle says, can nover oxtoud farther than Iwonty-second street, ' bocauso that _stroot pnd wll the aurrounding properly s owned by the Company,— Chicago Trivune. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: N 81z : Tho above statomonts, vo far as they re- Ito to Jonks, Moyors, and Norris' purchnsing aftor thoy losrned the Michigan Southern Raile rond had concluded to lenve Clark streot, aro wholly wrong. Jouks has owned his lots about eighteon years ; Norris purchnsod at tho sale by tho Canal Trustecs, about tiwonty yoars sgo, And, in necorting that thoy msk * oxorbitant figures " for thoir lots, I do not think Mr. Riddle statos tho truth. No application has ever boen made to oithor Jonke, Meyers, or Norris by any of tho ofticors of the Railrond Company to purchaso or rout their lots. The Prosident of tho railrond has ropoatedly promised to loave Olork stroot, both to committacs of the citizens intorested, and to individuals owning propdréy along tho streot. Mr, Norris was induced to build, and has spont about 20,000 in improve~ meuts on his lots, which he would not have dona but for the promiso of tho Presidont of tho rail- rond that they would take thoir track out soon, and the promiso of Superintendont Hall that they wero to movo their track immodiataly from tho stroot. I learn that proof of this fuct will bo forthcoming ut the proper tima, Tho Michigan Southiorn Ruilroad procured the titlo to tho laud 80 foot wost of Clurk stroot, and the right of way ncross tho stroots (of whioh tho Rock Inland Rnilrond own o half-interost), by misroprosontation, both to the aitizens of whom they purchiased and to tue Common Council of whom thoy obtained tho privilogo to crows tho siroots, stating the trnok waes to be taken from Olnrk struot, Which wus ono of tho principal in- ducomonts for tho grants, Supormtendent Riddlo appears to havo solcot- od Jonks, Norris, and Meyors out of tho_many sufforers on Olark ntreot, for what reanon I know not, unless bocansio thoy aro the porsous who hiavo oftener boon docolved, and who have suf- fored most, by tho misropresentations of tho oflicors of tho road. dr. Riddle appears to thiunk, beeanso the Ruilroad Compuny have had tho uso of tho sircol for noarly twonty yours without paying therofor, that it is hard for thom to bo obfiged fo loave b nuw. I presumo bo would think 1t very hard that thoy should bo obliged to pay anything for land for their own uno,—thoy Tunning, a8 Lo would give us Lo un- derstaud, wholly for tho bonofit of tho publie, I presumo ko would think it bard for the com- any to purchaso, or bo obligod to pay ront for, rho ground on which their watoh and switch housos stand, e the city authoritios have taken no aotion to move thom so that teans could pss along tho streot, Individuals are not allowed in any way to obstruct the straot, but o xailroad may with Iml)nnlly. N, Riddlo talks as though it was right, rogardiess of tho intorost of in- dividuale, for tho Compnny to take posacssion of aud hold all the proporty the Company nood, olse it would novor take without compensation comblnge | {4 noighbors’ proporty, and rent its owu to pri- vate porsons, and not partionlarly for the beno- fit of tho publio, I certainly nover heard of any part of tho ronta boing turned ovar tothe public, Mr. ddle Is woll awaro that, if tho faois, without contrndiotion, aro J»mnnrl{ Dbronght bofora the public, his railrond must lonve Clark stroot, and that false roprescntations alona can koop the possosaion of tho stroot in tho hauds of tho Company. I somotimos wondor if individu- als bave any righta that the officers of this rail~ rond aro bound to rospect, Ono thing {x_cor- tnins Tho ownora of tho lots fronting on Clark stroat havo boen doprived of tho uso of tholr utrcot, and the Railrond Company arc not satiefied to run their stoam-cars in the Atroot, but have, contrary to tho ordinances ot the city and in’ deflance of the city authoritics, buiit 8omo half-n-dozen buildings In_Clark utreot, in front of tho lots of these samo oitizons the Buporintondent o vilifles, and refuso eithor to ront or purohase lots to put thoir bulldings on, or removo thom from tho stroet, after having Leon ropeatodly fined for keopmg thom thoro. "Tho city suthorltioa appear to bo porfeotly holp- loss whon contending with this corporation, ‘Thoy havo thus far rogarded nolther tho rights of individuals nor tho ordinances of the dity.
