AN OPINION THAT IT CANNOT UF MADR A BOU- EVARD, * Aspocial meeting of tho West Park Ronrd was ‘held Saturday ‘afternoon, Presidont Wilcox In tho chair, A voluminous opinion by Gen, Georgzo W, Smith, attorney of the Board, on tho boulovard question, was read, and tho discussion of tho matter deferred until a week from to- day... Tho opinion was in respons ton resolu. don asking for legul ight os to tho powers and duties of tho Bonrd in relation to tho subject of ‘ sidewalks and planting trocs on tho Ine of oa ‘Washington strect. ‘The inquiry, according to tho opinion, involved tho question of tho validity of tho net of 187, enabling Park Commiestonors to control and im- prove public streots leading to public purks, "concerning tho propriety of which Gen. 3 Binith has heretofore expressed his rh doubts. pon the question of yalldity,’ » tho opinion reviewed the act of May 2, 1873, pro- in viding for tho boulevards, the vetion of the + Board Sept. 19, 1873, naming a part of Washing- ton street for that pues the netton of the Council March 26, 1877, attempting by ordinance ry to transfer to tho Comunissioners the mannge- ioent or control thereof, and the decision of. the Supremo Court upon tho valldity of this action, us rendered In the ease of Kreigh va. Thocity of Chicugo. This case,xs Gon. Smith unders stood {t, nssorted the’ principle that tho city must control its streets, In 1870, howevor, the Legisinturo attempted to, authorize the olty to divest itself of the control of atrects, und trains. Tor that control to the Commissioners, ‘Tho , control of the latter ws inconsistent with tint : of the former, In Gen. Smith's opinion, : this attempt to nuthorize the transfer by tho elty of certain streets was vold. It would not . do ‘to say that n parkway would continue to be wastreet, or did not lose {ta character us i street, ’ for oleurly its character was chunged, It was not such a street as wis contemplated by those who dedicated it to the publio uae. For tho sako of illustration, could {t bo nid that the Commissioners anche prohibit tho pas- sige of A funeral procession Upon nu strect, 13, now probibited in the parkways, and that such . Btrect would still reniain a street as before? It \ was not contemplated, when the dedications ia ‘wero made, that tho strects should be in an souse under a restricted control, excopt suc! sos the city might preseribe, ‘To smpart £4 tho control of © foreign nuuniolpality " wag on attempt nt on pervorsion of i trust, DiMicultics also arose from the Inconven- idence of the appiicntion of this net to the condi. uon of the city. Tho city sewers and gns und . water mains could not be disturbed without dit yx lurblng tho entire systems. Undor the General Incorporation act the city bad authority to con- tro} streets und ridowalks, plint trees, cte., whilo tho Commissioners hitd no authority Under any aet ta do muny of these thin They had no Buthority to conatmet aldowalka, for instance, sidewalks not having been contomplatodin parks and purkways. Ayuin, the notoft 187? provided only that tho first cost of nn improvement of tho nature contemplated should be paid by the abut * tng property, In his opinion, it was doubtful whethor a villld assosement could bo made under thatact. However that might be, from what souree Were funds to ome for inalntaining the parkway—pollcing, Mghtiuy, and draining itor 4 Jor repairing It aftor the frst improvement had worn out? The funds now received were for »!+ paymentof interest an tho bonded debt and .f' Mndintenance of parks und purkways 08 cstube shed, and thé “uct of 1870 did not provide for raising ony furthor funds, nor did It oven it- tempt to give authority tu use ans funds for + such muintennice or repairs. 4 Tho necessary answer to tho specific question in tho resolution, provided bia reasontag wits '¢ correct, was that the Commissioners lind no. 1 putority with Fesiwot to adowalles or planting 3 son West Washington street, The wendency , of municlpalitics was to arrogate ta thomselyes Powers whieh, by tho acts creating thom, It was {' Rotaontemplated thoy altould uxcroine, ‘The bet- ter exainple to follow was that which refused to using an authority not plainly oruxpressly oon+ Serred, In conclusion, Gen.
