10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1897. ALL WANT A HALL THAT CAN BE SEEN OW that a large number of citi- | zens and property-owners have | expressed themselves in favor| )L of a City Hall Park the ques- | tion of how the property is tobe regained is occupying the attention of the | legal fraternity. Is itto be by condemnation and pur- chase at a valuation to be fixed by a jury | or by a suit to recover what tho-e who should be well posted claim legally be- longs to the munic pality ? 1f itisas claimed by Attorney John Lord Love, who was City and County Attorney atthe time the lots passed out of the pos- | session of the city, that the sale was not! legal, then condemnation proczedings will | not be necessary. John Lord Love says that' the suit, the | determination of which permitted the { sale, was not tried on its merits, and that | certain essential points were overlooked | He asserts that in determining the title | the court did not go beyord the ordinance of the Board of Supervisors of 1861, in | which fatal flaws were found, and thatin | settling tne case on that act the vital| point in the title—the dedication by tne | United States Government— was lost | sight oi. The flaw found by the Supreme Court | in the right of the city to hold Yerba Buena Park is contained in the following paragraph: Provided that nothing contained in this order shall prevent the Zsaid city and county | from devoting said land hereafter to any pub- lic purposes, either State of municipal. On this point the Supreme Court eaid: 1tis on the essential elements of a good dedication that it shall be irrevokable and | that the land be forever dedicdted to the pub- | lic uses designated. A reserv n of the right torevoke the dedication defeats the dedica- tion. Until dedication 1saccepted it may be | revoked. The Supreme Court, however, appar- ently did not get down to the point urged by Attorney Love and others who were then in tbe employ of the city. They as- sert positively that the ordinance of 186. cuts no figure in the title because the Suvpervisors—in view of the dedication by the United Staies Government, the su. preme power of the land—had no right t assume any such control of the land; that the dedication, as provea by the adoption of the Van Ness crdinance setting aside | Yerba Buena Park and other reservations, took precedence over the ordinance of 1862, and, lastly, that the Congress of th United States, by adopting the Van Nes«s map, predicated on the Van Ness ordi nance, settied all questions relating to the | title to the property and made it impossi- ble to legally dispose of it. They point also to the decision of the | Supreme Court in the cases of Hamilton and Alta Squares, rendered in 1875 The decision, which is claimed to apply equally us well to Yerba Buena Park as to Ham ton and Aita :quares, is in substance follows: “The legal title to the squares * vested in the city by the operation of the Act of Congress of July 1, 1864, | * * % The title which the United States held in the land, and which wa« trans- ferred to the city by the Act of Con- gress, was so transferred to the city in trust, for the purposes expressed in the | itself, | dedicated to the public. statute of March 11, 1858, * * * and for no other purpose. That is to say, the title was granted to the city in | trust, for public use, and the city has | no suthority by virtue either of the statute of March 11, 1858, or the Act | of Congress of July 1, 1864, to a.ienate | or in any manner dispose of it, but ouly to hold it for the purposes expressed in the statute. Jt was granted to the city for public use, and is held for that purpose only. It cannot be coaveyed to private persons, and is effectually withdrawn from commerce; and city having no authority to convey the title, private persons are virtually pre- cluded from acquiring it. The land and ths use only, was Land held for held by the in our opinion, peration of the | not that puipose, whether State or a municipal is not subject to the Statute of Limitations This decision if applcable to Yerba Buena Park, as is contended, would seem 10 settle the question of the right of pr- | vate persons 1o acquire tiile 10 or pos- session of lands that have been dedicated to public use. | Attention is called to another decision | relating to the occupancy of public lands by private persons, 1n which it is held that the occupancy cannot confer on him any rights against the city no matter how long suit for possession has been deferred. The decision in the park case further holds that the city could notshow the Van Nees map as evidence of a dedication of the land to public u-es, for the reason | | that whbatever dedication occurred in the | Van Ness ordinance was for a cemetery. Speaking of this phase of the case the Supreme Court said: “Where land, as in this case, was used by the city of San Francisco as a ceme- tery and so marked on the Van Ness map, and where the Legislature subsequently authorized the removal of Lhe dead vodies and the dedication of the lands to such uses as the Board of Supervisors might deem proper, and where the board under- | took to dedicate tne land asa park, the Jan Ness map is not admissible as evi- dence to prove the aedication of the land for park purposes.” Taken in connection with the holding that a dedication must be irrevocable and for a specific purpose, the meaning of the decision is interpreted by lawyers to be hat whatever dedicition there was by or- | dinance or otherwise was for use as a emetery and not for a park. ‘There is no doubt in the minds of law- vers that the city might legally regain its title to the land in quesiion by proceeding | in accordance with the general law of | eminent domain, a law which gives | the sovereign power the right to con- | demn and use any private property for public use. This law iz based on | the general principle that the rights of the whole people are superior to those of any private ciizen, and whenever | the public needs overshadow the private | thers is a way provided for the surrender | of the ind:vidual's rights of property by | “due process of law."” Under section 1238 of the Civil Code it is | provided that private property may be taken for public use when needed for “public buildings and grounds for the use | | these suits. of any county, incorporated city or city and county.” Briefly told, the main features of the proceedings necessary to condemn private property for puablic use are 2s follows: Tue suit against the property-owners must be brought in the Superior Court, and the complaint niust allege that the taking of the property is necessary to some public use. All persons who claim any interest in the land are summoned as de- fendants. The case 1s then to be heard by a court ana jury, whose duty it shall be to ascertain ail the facts and the value of the land deired. There shall pe t.e fullest inquiry as to the value of the land and its improvements, and the jury must award | all the damages that appear as full com- pensation to the owners for the surrender of their property to the public. There are the same rights of new trial and appeal in all condemnation proceed- ings as in any other civil suit.

There would b: a speedy trial anda the jury would bs asked to determine the value of the property and all its impr)vements. If the damages awarded did not suit there might beanappeal. The judgment finally enlered would operate as a transfer of th+ title from the individual owner to the city and that would end the prcceedings, unless the case should be sent back tor retriai by the Supreme Court. — - Favored by Improvers. The tmprovement ciubs which have for thelr object the welfare of the property in the vicinity of the City Hall may soon join in the general movement to make possible a City Hali park. There are clubs for Poik, Larkin, Ninth and Sixth streets and for Hayes Valiey, and the presidents of all of these are in favor of having a breathing spac» in front of the City Hall instead of a line ot shan- ties. In speaking for themselves and condi- tionaily for the clubs they reoresent these gentlemen all favor the acquiring ot the name, Je e e ek e ek e ek Ao 33 4 54 ok 3 % 30 3 2 24 34 3 24 20 24 3 24 2 2 2 24 K | land, either by purchase through a com- mission appointed by the Supervisors or, if necessar, courts for that purpose. As to the means of raising the necessary | in | | surrounaing it witn shanties is prepos- | | terous, | figure. a suit of condemnation in the | amount of money, whether by the issu- ance of bonds or by direct 1axation, was a question upon which none of them were vrepared to hazard a decided opinion without giving the subject more thought. That the land should never have been sold in the first instance was the unani- mous verdict of ail. This mistake, they believed, should ba rectified now, before the property becomes more valuable or more money is spent upon it. In discussing the subjest vesterday, Louis H. Kohn, president of the Polk- street Improvement Club, said: “‘As for myself, I am heartily in favor of the move- ment. The entire frontage of tne City Hall property should be open and unob- structed; that is, no buildings should be permitted on the north side of Market street from Jones to Larkin streets. The ground other than that needed for ave- nues should be turned inlo grass and tlower plats. ‘‘As for the Polk-street Improvement Club, I cannot now say what action its members would take, but from tbe evi- dence of their liberality on all improve- ments I am prepared to venture the opin- ion that the ciub as a whole would cheer- fully co-operate with any other club or clubs in any measure looking to the ac- complishment of the obj ct. *'No doubt during the coming wcek the | officers of the club will hold a consulta- tion, and perhaps a meeting of the club | will be had, when tue matter will be d is cussed. Joim Hayden, a Ninth-street merchant | and one of the organizers of the Ninth- | street Improvement Club, said: “Why, it is just the thing above all others that the improvement clubs adja- cent to the City Hall should take up and advocate. With a new rostoffice on Sevy- enth street and a certainty that Market street will be bituminized fiom the ferry to Valencia street within the next five years, those old rookeries which are a disgrace and would not be permitted to stand in a re:pectable viliage, should be pulled down and a beautiful park made on their ruins. The idea of investing m.llions of dollars in a building like the City Hall and then “Woether the money is to be raised by bonds or by direct taxation cuts but little The thing should be done in any event.” Dr. E. E. Hill. president of the Larkin- street Improvement Club, is in full accord with tbe mov-ment and said that so far as his club is concerned it will join with the other clubs affected in securing the desired end. L. V. Merle, president of the Sixth- street Improvement Club, while some- what disappointed over the result of his exertions to have Sixth street improved as it should be, yet is in full accord with the idea. He thinks it is j st what will help to build up the south side of Market street and the streets leading into the same from Sixth to Ninth. Charles Alpers, president of the Hayes Valiey Oiub, said: “The thing cannot be done too soon to meet the approval of the Hayes Valley property-owners. Itis just what we in the valley want, and if I can et the club together we will take action on it, and, what is more, we favor extend- ing the Golden Gate Park right down to Market strest.” Opinions of Citizens. Edward Lehlett, 26 Seventh street: “l most heartily indors: THE Carr’s plan of tearing down those un- sightly wrecks and letting the City Hall see the light of day. It is a splendid building and would be a credit to the city if only it was so situatea that people could see it. I think also that the best plan to raise money would be by a tax levy; then we would be through with the expense at once.”” N. V. Merle, 45.47 Sixth street: “The plan is a good one and sbould meet with the hearty indorsement of all eitizans—particularly business men. The present condition of aff.irs is a di grace to the eity and the sooner it is remedied the better. The best way, in my opinion, is to condemn the buildings an issue bonds for the amount needed.” J. M. Sweeney, 37 Sixth stree I thought years ago thut it would be a good plan to tear down those buildings, which, by the way, should never have been erected. We would then have an atiraction far superior to any monkey garden in the extreme end of the Mission. The money can easily be raised by a tax levy, then we will have the park and no burdensome bonds to pay interest on.” H. C. Bennett, 33 Sixth street: “I am opposed to the plan of making a park in front of the City Hall, as it would ruin Market street as a business street. If it must be done, however, I think the best plan is toissue bonds for the full amount.” L. Jacobs, 2 Sixth street: “The plan 1s a good one, as it wiil not only pro- vide the people with a breathing apace in the center of the city, but will also tend to centralize trade where it really belongs, in the downtown district.” Jeremiah Deasy, 40 Sixth street: ‘liwasagreat mistake for tue city ever to part with that property, and I said so at the time. Nothing can be done which will beautily the city more than taking down those old buildings and mak- ing a pleasure ground in their place. The best way to raise the necessary money is, I think, by a bond issue.” S. F. Walsh of Arnold & Walsh: ‘“Theonly proper and correct way to beautify the city is by making a park where it naturally belongs—in front of the City Hall. I wou.d be in favor of a bond issue to raise the money.”" M. Levin, 136 Sixth street: “By all means tear uown those unsigntly reiics and give the city back its property. They never should have been there in the first place, but now let us get rid of them | as soon as possible.” H. Wolf, 208 and 210 Sixth street: “‘The idea is an excellent one if it can only be carried through. A bond issue is the correct way of raising the money.” Adolph Brady, 218 and 220 | Sixth street: “Tue plan is a good one and should be carried out at once, as the ground can now be purchased cheaper than will ever again be possible. It wasa mistake for the city toever part with that property.”” TALUABLE the poison before they were taken aboard the train, as they became sick soon after | leaving Port Costa.

When Mike Welch of Port Costa left home to atiend the Sunday races at Ingle- side Coursing Park he brought along three valnsble dogs. He will probably go back without any.

The | winner of the final was Rosette, owned by | | Curtis & Son. } The talent again had a hard day of it, | | | | | as on Saturday, and failed to land many winners. White Cockade, an importation from Chicago, owned by the Montesnma kennel, was the thorn in the sice of the talent and not until the final did they succeed in beating him. Although in the | firsi ties he easily disposed of Red Cloud in the seconc Arapahoe was made a2 101 favoiite over him. Arapahoe wasn’t in it, but that didn’t seem to discourage the talent, for they iramediately made “genial’’ Dominick Shannon’s Systematic | a2to 1 favorite over him for the third tiez. This proved to be one of the pret- tiest races of the dav, but Cockade won at the end. He then disposed of Daisy Crest, being still on the short end, but in the tinal witn Rosette the biz money which went in on him forced him to an even money choice with the winner. The heaviest betting of the day was done on the Pat Malloy-Snowbird race. Malloy was a hot favorite at4to 134 and the talent again got a heavy dump, Snow- bird winning. The total value of the stakes run vester- day was $350, and five pooi-boxes haa all they could do to handle the money. Thers were dogs from Chicago, Ean Jose, Port Costa, Santa Clara and Campbeils, ve- sides the local entries, the Mira Monte | kennels alone having no less than nine eniries. A new feature in awarding the prizes was introduced vesierday. Heretofore the owner ol a winn.ng dog was ob'iged to wait until the day’s sport was over 1o get his money, but yesterday the winners were paid off as they left the field. Next Sunday the biggest stake ever run off in America will take place, andas it is open to all dogs the best animals on the coast have been entered.
