THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: WEDNESDAY, + THE RAILROADS. “The Decision of the Supreme Court in the Chicago & Western Indiana. fhe Validity of the Council Or- dinance Sustained at AH Points. Mr, Berney’s Smoke-Burner Teated and Found Valueless for Iili- noia Coal, No Moro Cutting on Enst-Bonud Frelght to Bo Allowed, , Tho Pronunciamento Bet Forth by tho Trunk Lines Meeting Yosterday, CHICAGO & WESTERN INDIANA: “the opinion of the Supreme Court tn the ease of the Chiengo & Western Indiana Rall- away was received yesterday, It is written by Mr, dustice Dickey, and concurred ti by Svott, Craig, and Sheldon, Walker «lssent- ing. \ ‘Phe opinion sets out by stating that the de- eree of the Superlor Court is clearly errone- ous.’ Unier the present laws of Illinois a rallroad company organized under the gen- eral law of 1872 hus authority to select {ts own route, Jay out its ne and construct It. *Piis power, by necessary Iniplication, carries with it the power ‘of fixing the torminal polnts, This power Is subject to a Hinitation that the read ennnot bo constructed upon or across nny street In any elty without the 1s- sent of the corporation. This 4y the only Ihnitation, If there be no othor, itis obvious ‘fn ritllroad companyni ay, as 1 general rute, acleet its own route, fx {ts terminal points, Jay out its route, and acqitire tho right of way and other property necessary for the eonstructlon of its romd on any and every art of the Ine, whether within the city lin- “dts or without them, accordine to its own discretion, for this Hmitation is confined to the construction of tho railroad upon or avross strects, ‘The suggestion that the mere existence of tho power possessed by the City Counc! of Chieago toprovido for the fovatlon, the ernde, and crossings of railroads within the city Is a further limitation, is not igoked on wiih favor by the Court, . ‘The city possesses the power to act an this subject, and its mere existence can have no effect wntess ft 1s ex- e ad by the city, ‘The City Comnell hus no: power tO locate » rallrond, That power Is cunterred on the raffroud company, ‘Che power of the city is to pro- vide for the —_Jneation of the road by the rallrond company, the only con- alition precedent being that the assent of the. i corporation must be obtalned before the road ean huwfally construct Its line upon or reross a publi street, Under the law prior to 1873 companies could not lawfully locate any part of their Hines, or construct them within any city, or condemn. private property for corporate purposes withinany elty, until the consent of the Counell. was’ first obtained. By the general law of 1872, however, that lias been altered, and there iy no proflbition against the location of the line even aeross or upon streets, ‘The prohibition relates simply to the construction of the roud npon aud across them, ‘The Court holds that a ratiroad may pro- ceed to conden private property within a city before the consent of the corporation has been obtuined to the crossing of the streets. ‘The law, siys the Court, does not provide the away tn which the railroad company shail proceed In nearing Us rightof way. Suet. jas the decision In the case of the Metropol- Stan Street-Railway Company. Under the present law, therefore, It 1s not necessary ns. acondition precedent to the location of Its Tine within the eity by a railroad company, or to the construetion of tts track within the elly on such ps at its tne, are not upon any street, but it has power to condemn any private property withln the city without. any ordinance belug passed by the Connell giving uasent to the construction of tho rand Upon or across streets, or providing for the Joention of the railway. Itjs not necessary, however, to go further Into that palnt, inag- muucls as'an ordinance hay been passed by tho unc, - Itiselaimed, however, that the ordinance Js vold, because it falls to designate the pre- else ling upon which the raliroad nay bo constructed, und omits to. designate | the recise polnt at which the road insy je constricted across and upon the several streets to be intersected. ‘The Court. finds nothing in this objection, Tho matter is loft to tho discretion and judament of the Council, itis not provided that these pow- ers of the Council can only be tawtully exer vised ona line precisely’ defined, Consent iy be granted by the Counell, Wo itthink it wise to do so, without specifying the precise polnt at which tho streets shall be crossed. The Court here refers toa mumber of ordi- paces passed by. the City Connell granting rallronds che rigt LED ewly Into the city, to show ft lias not been always enstomary to strictly specify tho tne. | Ratlronds havo previously been permitted to enter cltles withont defining the preciso track, and slinply by-stathig the district within whieh they might locate the Jing; and this practica Jing been so universal that it must have been known to the General Assembly when the General Railrond act of Wrs and tho City Ine corporation net of the same year were ene pete. Jind tho General Assembly intended tu prohibit tuat mode of grav if the license or permilssion in question by Clty Counclls, some tnore defuit language would have been used than that found in either of theso state utes. ‘The Court tds no vital objection ta the ordinance on tho ground that the route is not defined with more certainty, t Itts insisted by appellees that permission to constritet the road across the streety at uny polnt tobe selected by the Railroad Com- pany withhia given district ts w delegation ty the HRullrondt Company of ‘powers whieh can only by exeretsed by the City Councll, With that the Court does tat agree, ‘The paver to providetfor the location of rattronds is conferred on the Counell, bub Ure duty of exerelsing It fi all cases is not Lmposed pon the Connell, “The biw leaves to the discre- tion of the Counell the question 1a to tho eaves In whieh the bowers shall be oxercised, Its also insisted that tho ordinance ts voll for lack of previous petition of persons own ng property on so niucl of te street ts was proposed te be used in’ the construction of this road, Insomuehas thosey parts of the ets Which are crossed lio between prop. erty neato by the Kallroad Company for pullroad purposes this ubjection is considered nvalld, It is alse insisted by appellees Unnt the pro- vision that the permission grinted i the: or dinance fs upon thy condition that the Rall- road Coinpany shall permit any other railroad companies, not exceeding two in number, not Jaying at present any rom or entrance into the city, to use the track authorized to be told Jointly with the Chleago & Western dudiuna fs a delogntion of the power of the Connell, and operates to divest Jt of somo of its charter powers, and that, therefore, the ordinance Is tnvalld, ‘his postion, the Court says, ls not tenable, A rullroud company his by tuw the right to lease the use of Its truck to any other railroad company, ‘This provision, therefore, does not confer Upon the Gane ny Muy power whatever, nor deprive the cl Fo any power, [Lt isu burden ine posed by the ‘atdinance upon the Railroad vonmpaty, requiring that it sliall furnish add Gonal railroad tuellities to the City of Chi- onseiting to make arringements such other vullroad companies as ure deseribed in the ordinance for the Joint use af thelr trucks. Counsel ehameterize the ordinance as one likely, if effective, to. brin; great Injury upon the City of Chicago, and to prostive evil to the public. “Phat, says the Court, Is nota question for Its determina: thon, “Phe Court tinds nothing on the face ot the ordinances rendering, it viclous, nor ts tt ulleged In the bill that any fnjury to the publ ets ie rel tro ite jase. iuere ore, tho derree of the Superior Court nus! be reversed and the DIN disulssed. m BMOIE-CONSUMERS, It was stuted, at the thne the Berney Smvke-Consumer and Spark-Arvester wus ‘tested On the iiinols Centra) that Mr, Bernoy claimed that the non-suceess of the experi Jvent was greatly due to the fact thut, the an- eine was only supplied with the spark-are Jester, and that Le failed to put an thesmoke- consumer ty see what results could be yeuched without the latter appendage.

Without absolute rellance upon the co- operation of the trank Hnes, Incinding the Grand Trunk, in all matters relidting to. the malutenane of tariils and carrying out of existing agreements ib would be entirely useless to make any further effort at carrying out the object and plan of the Jolnt Exceutive Committee. A meeting was held yesterday between the trafic managers of the trunk Ines and somo of the connections principally Interested fn the Boston export and Ilve stock tratile, and such action was taken us it Is belleved will shortly remove existing difficulties, and lead ta: sn tmmeidi- ato restorntion of inriff rates, ‘Ehis mutter was referred ton special committee, who re- ported that would be “unable to cone to any coneluston? until they should reeelyo “a report from the Commissioner as to the stinding of “the contract, made vin tho New York, Lake Erle & Western Rallyond, for the shipment of hogs from Chicngze to Boston.
