\ \ t i + HE CHICAGO ‘TRIBUNE SDNESDAY, AVRIL 2, I87—TWE Dy VAGES, IMPORTANT DECISION. | ‘Tho Wofropolitan Street Railway Com- pany Enjoined by the Cir- . cuit Court Prom Laying Its Tracks on Lake, ’ Canal, and West Four- : teenth Streets. ‘The followlug decision, which thoroughly ox- plains itself, was rendered Monday by Judge ‘Witliams: . See ny SEG re Contt of Cook County. ‘The City of Chi- Seen reat cirupoilinn city Tibiiwey company. ‘Jn Chancety. On the 19th day of October last the City of Chicago ied n bill agatuat, the defendant to re- strain it from laying any railway track on Lake, Canul, and West Fourtcenth streets, or upon ‘Lake street bridge, und-from fn any manuer ob- atructing sald streets oy a railway track, and for other and further relief, ‘To this bill defendant bas flod o geverat do- wurrer, : Upon the argument of this demurrer several questions have been discussed which, iu the - ylew I entertain tn this case, need not now be passed upon, the discussion of which may’ be moro appropriately postponed wuutil the final Shoscing of the case. ‘hey are questions the deciaton of which, If In fayor of complainant, would be conclusive ‘against sny right upon the part of defendant to pecupy the streets meutloned in complainant's ‘Two questions raised and discussed In tho ar- gument must now he decided by the Court. Te this o proper cuge far the exerclaa of equit- abl tirisdictlor, oF should the complainant's remedy bo pursued in a court of law? Does the blll disctose equity upon tts facet Firat, Is the proper remedy; of complainant inncourtofequitv? ‘The title to the streets of this clty Ig vested In the complainant for the public use, ‘The fee of the streets and thelr possession and control {s vested in the com- platnant in trust for the public, und tt is as well the duty of the city as Its right to see to the manner in witch the streets rhall be uecd. ‘To permit the streets to be used tna manner injurious to the rights of the public would be a manifest breach of its obligations upon the part of the wunieipality, ‘The city is the trustes, the public its cestul que trust.” The nature of the estate and the uses to which 1¢ may be applied commend the interests of the complainant and Sts beneficiaries in the streets especially to thu protection of a court of equity. Such a neglect of the streets as would subject the public to injuries in using the sume as high- ways would fu certain cages subject the com- plainant to damages, and in all caves couse detriment to .thy publle tterest of the whole inunieipality. Eneroachments upon the streets 1o the injury of the public could find go ade- uante redress in courts of Jaw, There aro no actions known to the common-law courts which woull suflice for that purpose, The question now is uot Whether a certain encroachment upon thu streets might be prevented in one instanes by a common-law court, but whother continuing: aud constantly recurring encroachments can be adequately prevented or redressed in a common- ‘aw court. Ifa number of individuals, unincorporated and without Heense or nuthority from the com- plainant, should intrude upon the streets of the elty nnd attemps to construct a railroad track upon which they proposed constantly to run cars {mpelled by steam or asiinal poser, it would hardly be contended that an adequate remedy could be afforded complainant in the Jaw courts, * Or if’an incorporated company without such license or authority shonld attempt to lay down tracka.and run trains at oll times of the da: ud night, solely for thelr own profit, it is evi- dent that nelthgr the employment of ite polico force, vor the institution of suits of efectinunt, ‘nor a proceeding by mandamus, would be a sul- Alcieut-protection to the rights of complatnaut, «Independent of any express decision, the well-recoxuized principies governing court equity and common law would compel a by the complainant ton court. of chancery for rollef in the case of any unauthorized invasion of ita right In the street, where such invaslon moust be from its character constantly recurring, But sucha resort bas been rupeatedly sane- toned by tho decisions of our Courts, It is enough to clte the case of the City of Jackson- ville ya. ‘fhe dackaonviile Railway Company (67 TiL, 610). ‘The Railway Company was authur ized to construct its road over the strects, pub- He grounds, squares, cte., of the city, and sought to run its track ucrogs a public square. ‘the city filed a ollt to restrain the laving of the track, ‘The Court held thot the public square awas held ‘by the corporation fn trust for the use of the public, and could not be perverted to a alfferent use, and that a court o! equit y could, ‘upon the application of the elty, the Trusteo, prevent auch perversion, sustalning thelr post- ton by reference to a number of cases. Upon principls and authority, 4 regard it os well established that, in this class of cases. the proper jurisdiction is in equity, Do the facts stated in the bill make out o proper case for equitable relief? I shall only refer to one allegation of the bill to determine this queation, . ‘The bill alleges that the ordinance of the City of Chicago which purports to grant te the de- fondant the Heensa to jay down jts tracks, un- der which Ilcensy defendant proposes to proveed with its work, fe vold for the reason “ that said ordinance was pase by the Common Couucll of sald city, without ten daya’ public naties hay. ing been: given, as reauired oy lav, in gone newapaper of Chicazo or satd County of Cook ‘of the tine and olace of presenting the petition of anit Metropolitan City Railway Company for Its consent to locate and construct a railroad -upon or. glong the streeta In sald ordinance aientioned,”” Whatever may be tho fact about this notice, and whatever may be made hereafter to appear dp ovldonce, the domurrer admits this allezation of the LIM, and ratses the question whother or «hot in low such 0 notice was necessary, ‘The defendant ts & corporation farmed under the Horse wud Dummy Railroad act.
