S S THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: TUESDAY, JULY 21, 1874. " LOCAL MISCELLANY. YIIB INDIANA AVENUE RAILROAD ’ COMPANY, Judgo Williams rondored o deeialon yestorday aftornoon n the quo warranto action agalust tho Ohleago City Rallrond Company, 'Iho informa- tion was filed 1n 1870, sotting out that the Com- pany was wrongfully onjoying tho rights and franchisos of o corporation, but the vorl objot was to oust tho Company from its road aud franchise on Indiann nvenue, Thore wore TWO TOINTA on which the case was mainly fought,—ono that tho Cowpany had not obtaiuod tho consont of tho owners of two-lhirds of tho proporty front- Iug ou the avenuo; tho othor that the Campuny had not laid downits track within tho fifteon months limited by the ordinanco. TUE OOMPANY DENIED THESR ALLEGATIONA, and introduced o lorgo amount of ovidenco to phow that thoy hind, cither by parol or writing, gainod tho consent of more ovon than tho re- quired two-thirds of the property-owners, Among tho witnosses wore Wallicr and Tuller, tho former & Superintondent, the lattor & Secro- tary, of tho Company in 1824, Doth testifiod that’ the requirad oonsont had boon oblalned, thoy haviug been Inrfl)]y instrumentnl in golting it. Tho complainants objocted, on the ground that tho cousent was in the naturo of an intorost in land, and should bo evidenced by writing, T'ho dofondant also clalmy that if the Court should fiud that the road had not Leen Luilt within tho fiftoon months, it was an abusp of the franchise, sud, under a Iata law, could bo pun- ishod with a simplo fine, without nocossitating n- rovocation or forfoturoof the frunchise. It was also clammed that tho Compnny lnd boen re. quosted to dolay lnyhlf their track by tho Bonrd of Publio Works until sewers and wator should Lo put in the streots, and that this hsd caused - dolay. JUDOE WILLIAME hold thet, in regard to the consent required, tho evidence of Walker and I'uller nnd the parol consent was suflicient for the purposes of tho enso to show consent, and that ho should docide that tho dofondants had fulilled tho condition of tho ordinance in this respect. Iu rogard to TIE PIFTEEN MONTRS' LIMITATION clause, however, the case was differont, This conditlon was o 'fundamental ono, undor which the Company obtatued {ta franchise, It mado no difforonce whethor it was to bo considered a8 & condition precedont —or subsoquent ; it must bo oboyed. The Legislaturo gave the chartor; the Common Council gnve tho por- mismon toyun on corlain strects; both were nocessary to o full enjoymont of the right of lnying tracks. The now Coustitution provided that 1 no reepoet elould an uxlsthlf Tailroad cotporation charter bo smended, and it would bo upjust to hold, as ndvoeated, that tho Common Council conld grant uo rights toanothercorpora- tion for tho nost eighty yoars. It would make tho preseut corporation an onormois monom)ly. Tho condition nndor discusgion was such that, if it was not complied with, THE KECESSARY CONSEQUENCE was that thero should be oither a judgment of ouster or o penalty inflicted. In rogard to tho question of & ponalty, 88 provided for under the new Inw of 1874, the Judgo hicld that the non- Fuifillmont of tho coudition was not an abuse of tho franchiso, but A NON-USER OF 1T, and that, therefore, o ponalty whicl was only for abuao conld not bonflicted. ~ Again, ns tho fran- chigo of the road on thal avonno was o unit, and not divisible, ho could not pronom\ceamrrehmo for tho portion south of hirky-firat streot ntill anbullt, but must give n judgment of oustor ngoinst tho wholo franchiso on Indiana avenue. AN APPEAL was immedinteiy takon, utidor a bond of £1,000. Bo that it will still bo ayear or two, in case the Supreme Court afirms tho judgmont, Leforo tho Company will bo compelled to tear up its tracks. ‘Cho caso of Ilowison aud othors ngainst the Company for an injunction, which was bogun shortly boforo tha great fire, wes also disponcd of by the allowance of an injunction, and will 1ollo the other case to tho Supromo Gourt.’ ———— THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, The County Commissioncrs met yosterdny afteruoon, President Ashton in the chair. % MISCELTANEUUS, Tropoanls wako recelved for building the tank and roservoirat tho Insane Asylum, and wero rofarrod to the Committco on Public Oharities.
