He therefore grants a perpetual injunction prohibiting the private use of public parks. The decision was rendered in the case of Daniel M. Kurtz, who sued as a taxpayer to restrain former Park Commissioner George C. Clausen and Oscar F. Spate from placing chairs in the public parks to be used for private gain, Under a contract with Park Commissioner Clausen Mr. Spate caused easy chairs to be placed in the various parks of the city. He charged a nickel apleoe for the privilege of occupying his green chairs and there were many disturbances in the park. In his decision Justice Steckler re- views all the facts brought out in the trial of the action and says: “It seems to me that the agreement In question ts a pernicious one and that the special privileges therein conferred kre utterly opposed to our institutions. “The parks are for the people and not for any particular class of the people There is no authority vested either. in the Park Commissioner or the city to so trample upon the rights of the pub- Itc." Justice Steckler draws the distinction between such privileges sought by Spate and the privileges allowed for goat- . donkeys, restaurants, &e.
