TALK ABOUT AN INJUNOTION. A TRIBUNE reporter yesterday asked Slayor Heath whether or not by would sign the ordl- uance leasing to the Chicogo Busc-Ball Club that portlou of the Lake Park rextendlng from the south line of Wushington strect, 0U0 feet south thercof, aud bis Honor, replied that le could not say what he would do, as he bad not given the indtter thy siightest uttention as yet. 1t was reported yesterday that Atr. Matthew b, Who owos some property ou the south- west voruer of Washington street and Michigan avenue, {utended to upply for au lujunction ty estralu tue mabugers of the Buse-Ball Club Trom avating themselves of this ordinauce, fo case L was slgned by the Masyor, * ¥or the pur- pusc of gettlug ot the trutix of the story, a re- porter culled on Mr, Lafliu i the evenfng and Gaked bim i 8 wus true. Hoaaid Y No " st on the fira of ‘vourts would say that the occupancy by tho first, and then that he had nothing to say about it. It fsquite likely, however, that somebudy— if not Mr. Lafli, then somebody clse—will ap- ply for such an injunction. Mr. Laflin expreas- & himeelf a couvle of years ago Iu favor of the salo of the blacks between Randolph and Madi- son streets to tho rafiroad companies, and It be Is still of the same mind there scems no reason why he should fnterfure to prevent the tempo- rarv lease to tho Ball Club, l:sptcl)\“(v when the rafiroad compsnies do not object to ft. TIE GROUNDS UPON WHICH AN INJUNCTION ) MIGNT BE PRATED for are probabls twofold: one, that ft wonld work an injury to property owned by the pe- titloner; and” the othcr, that this was anat- tempt on the part of the Councll to: make an unlawful use of public property, Thus Mr. Laflin could allege that the use by the Base-Ball Club of that portion uf the Lake ¥Front betwoen Washington aud: Madison streets wonld have a tendency to damage the renting or scliiog value of hia property in the_ nelghburhood, Or ho could, ns & citizen of Chicago, allego that the Council wns attempilng to allow per- sons to manke an unlawful wse of ceraln public atks, which ‘wers grounds in _which’ he, 88 a citlzeu ami taxpayer, had sn interesl, The opinion tas ex- pressed yesterday by one good lawyer that ho could, It he owned urflrtfly near the corner of Michizan avenuo and_Mouroe street, enjoin the nse of the Exposition Building as n store, and present any firm from using it for that purpose, certalnly untll the court had finally passed on the queation,—thera wonld bono diificulty fn getting a prefiminary injunction. The_ground which has been leased to the Dasc-Dall Club runs about 00 fect south of Whashineton street, and I therufore substantial- 1y tn fractional section No. 10, the south 1ine of which s Madison street. When the lilinols Central_Railrosd and the City of Chicago were enjotued in from ‘taking ooy ac- tion under what was known ps tho ©Lake-Front bill,” tho blocke between Randolph and_Madison streets were the ones spectally cohsidered by Judze Druminond. He at that timo enjoinéd tho rallrosd company from crecting any butldings thercon, aud also enjolned the clty from taking any actlon on fts part In the premises. e held tnat the United Btates remained the owner of this land, subject to thy use cunferred upon the pubile by the dedication thet was muade, that neitber thy State nor the ult[v had a right to divert this land from tho special dedication thus afixed to it except by the exercise of the right of ecminent domain, which must bo not by un apulication to the Leglsiature, but by an_application to the courts, In_conformity with law, and where the rights of the parties can be adjudicated, On the plat of Fort Dearborn Rescrvation theso blocks were marked, ** Public ground, forever to ramain ¥ 3 VACANT OF DUILDINGS." Whileall ghe ‘\nynrn in this caso were burned up 871, presumably the Injunction, cven if not. {nrmnlly restored, remains In force. It does not_follow, however, that the fence which the Cjub propose er-:ctlug, aud the scats which they will ultimately put up, would come under the head of bulliings. That is a thiur for the dictionary-makers and Judges to declde, Thisground has been uscd from time to time for a similar transicnt purpose withoutany objection being made to it. Clreuses have put up thelr tents and booths, haye lingered for n week, and departed. ‘The cityd has derived considerablo revenue, off and on, from these transients, and 10 oue has ever objected,—neither an owner of abutting property nor a person who took an in- tercst {n the preservation of publle parks, It is possibie, therefore, that this preceden’, wonld be'ullowed o haye some weight, and that the Luse-bull club was na transient and temporary in Its naturens that of Barnum's clrcue.
