that he ap point the necessary committees to do the work and guaranteed that with the assistance of the Vice CommodOra tho regatta could bo car ded to a successful end Mr Lesher thought the regatta should be carried out as originally intended and Mr was of the same mind Commodore Allen called upon tho gentlemen present to signify their willingness to go upon tjha committees and work forthesuccess of the' regatta In response Messrs Molony Eddy Ralph Harsha Lesher and others sig nified their willingness to do such work Commodore Allen then asked Mr Liggett if the Committee would guarantee sufficient sum of money to conduct the regatta to a successful issue Mr Liggett could not speak for the com mittee but he thought from expressions made by the members of the committee that there would be nd tronble about raising $1000 and possibly $1200 Mr thought there was no trouble about raising the money and asked that talk about it be stopped Mr Harsha called for the question and Mr Lesher asked for an expression from the Commodore before voting on the question Com Allen said he thought that there was but little chance for a successful regatta' but he would hot pit his views against those of the Committee and a good majority of the boating men' He wished it distinctly un derstood however that in case of failure he would not take any of the blame The question was then voted upon and it was unanimously decided to hold a regatta as originally arranged Com' Allen thereupon appointed TMessrs Moran Smith and Keene a Committee' on Grand Stand and the committee re quested

your journal the state ment appeared that a young man by the name of John Lacourse had been arrested in your city at my instigation for obtaining false from my agency of the Cana dian Express Company here a parcel of cloth ing uxn which there was a certain amount to be collected upon delivery which amount he did not pay I was temporarily absent from my office at the time and I find upon investigation that the charge so made was not true and should not have been made Mr Lacourse was given the parcel by a junior clerk in office without any demand beings made for more than the freight viz twenty five cents i My son then in charge of the office thoughtlessly and from want of experience in such matters sent the telegram complained of to the authorities in Detroit and upon Mr Lacourse being told for the first time that there was a collection of $26 on the goods he had received the amount was at once paid I make this correction in justice to the young man and shall be obliged by

residents on Mad ison avenue from snatching for their own private uses 128 feet of that magnificent street 1 a storm of indignation against the promoters of the scheme uprose The Common Council saw the matter in the same light "in which the general public saw it a report of the Committee on Streets denouncing it as un lawful and recommending the indefinite post ponement of the ordinance which Brown then City Attorney had prepared in accordance with the demands of the Madison avenue managers But notwithstanding that reaming crushing defeat of the schemers they were noii in reality defeated One of their number had in his possession proofs that cer tain Aidermen had corrupt alliances with the Nicholson pavement proprietors and under threats of immediate exposure supplemented ify other they hastened to rescind teir adverse action and to place the street atthe disposal of those who had so long and per sstently5clamored for it As showing the real state of the aldermanio mind on that question in 1870 the report jwhich was almost1' adopted is ihere reproduced Your Committee on Streets to whom were re ferred the petitions for and remonstrance against the proposed improvement of Madison avenue re spectfully report: A The avenue in question is 200 feet wide and ex tends from Grand Circus Perk to Randolph street Stated in detail the petitioners ask that the road way of the avenue shall be forty feet in width that on either side ana next thereto there shall be a grass plat eight feet vtfcle next to which there shall be a side walk also Eight feet wide the re maining portions of the street to be inclosed by a fence for the purpose ot protecting grass sbrub bery and trees to be planted therein with walks for the convenience of householders from the linea pjio lv oiucciih Liao name os nt viic expense iof owners of adjacent property the privileges to terminate at the pleasure of the Council It was generally azreed that the Common Coun cil had no authority to permit the proposed change in the condition pf the avenue but in a recent com muncatlon from one ot the petitioners a promi nent member of the legal profession it is set forth that in this we mistake: that the provision of the charter which gives to the Common Council power to prescribe and regulate the manner in which the highways streets avenues lanes alleys public grounds and spaces within said city shall be used and enjoyed: to direct and regulate the plant ing and provide for the preservation of ornamental trees confers sufficient authority to grant the desired permission and we are informed by him that like views are entertained by other at torneys The petitioner is supposed to be learned in the law and we have great respect for his opinion and we shall not attempt to argue questions of law with those who have successfullyjpropounded their views of legal ques tions before the highest judicial tribunal In the State But If prominent members of the bar deem it not improper as recently to publicly dissent from the Opinions and decisions of our Suprema Court your committee may be pardoned if In mat ters aenumding their consideration they shall presuma to adhere to their own convictions of the law We are coastrained to believe that the Council has no power to grant permission to adja cent lot owners td inclose and virtually attach to their lots considerable portions of a public avenua and devote the same to ornamental or any other 4 xkll xl pinjjvoc tuau BI mu UJUmue I4f lUUiiC Xruni L11Q I90 use and enjoyment thereof If it can rlfMtrnft 1 hlr fhof fna of the State so intended in the pow er above quoted it would avail nothing in this matter as the SnnramA Pahw has the case of the People rs Carpenter alluded to by the petitioner that the rights of the public ac quired by the act Of dedication of streets vested rights protected by the Constitution of the Lnited States and It is not therefore competent I for the legislative power of the State much less of the Common Council of the city to pass any act or ordinance which shall in any wise impair or defeatthose rights The powers of the city authorities are restricted to the regulation of the streets Th is is a necessary power and one which if wisely ex erted cannot fall to prove highly beneficial to the community But the power to regulate streets does not include the power to pass ordinances which shall affect injuriously public or private rights The Common Council is to some extent the guardian of those rights As such it becomes them duly to employ all the A powers with which they are vested to purify the streets of the city and to cause all obstructions not warranted by law or necessity to be removed The adoption of such a policy will remedy the mischiefs that have grown up under a conrse of legislation by which the rigid of the public have been made etibeefyierd to the convenience or cupidity cf (See 1 Michigan Reports But it we are mistaken in our opinion of law It is presented with great deference it vet does not follow that we should accord the permis sion desired It granted it is stipulated that it mar terminate at the pleasure of the Council Will there ever be a time when the petitioners will ba less urgent to retain the prlvilerfM than they now are to acquire them? If a portion of the high way is to be made an elegant gross lawn beautified by shrubbery and ornamented with trees those who shall make it so or their suc cessors will with reason insist that the mainten ance of the fence inclosing the same is necessary to the continuance of such ornamentation Our experience has been that where for like or other purposes portions of streets or avenues have once been taken from public use the public have vir tually forever ceased to have any rights thereto or control of the same And what would be the re sult if some of the lot owners would voluntarily abandon the privileges sought and others retain them a portion of such inclosures were re moved and the remainder continued? It will be seen that it is proposed to take from the public use and occupancy about 128 feet of the width of the street or more than one half Will the growth of the grass and shrubbery and the public for being debarred from the ordinary use of bo large a portion of a public ave nue? The public are to ba permitted to look upon the beautiful a privilege truly but we most respectfully submit that it is hardly equivalent to the privileges and rights to be with drawn from them We are led to ask if the provis ion tor wide streets and avenues of which we have hitherto been So proud was after all a mistake If it was an'error to consider them desirable? Have net large sums been paid for widening streets when such widening has been declared by juries a public necessity? It trill not be forgotten that twenty years ago cer tain provisions were made for the purpose of pro motmg the growth of shade on this avenue and there era many such trees of large growth thereon The walks proposed to be laid are entirely outside of the outer row of these trees thus denying to pedestrians the grateful result of efforts ot twenty years in this behalf As to maintaining a proper wvxxvxavawM Liv 1VMO fctic octiuv pi bVL I IU afforded co ocher streets of our the protection afforded by rigid ordinances a propar tribunal tor the enforcement thereof an ample police force for the apprehension of transgressors or trespassers and proper provisions for restraining animals from running at large Shade trees may be and are in many localities protected without resort to largs inclosures Among those who remonstrate against the pro posed improvement are residents of Randolph street immediately opposite the eastern terminus ui wio urieMuv iiivir opinions conveniences Wishes are entitled to and will receive the same re spect accorded to those of the petitioners and must effect upon the action of the Coun cil THThe petitioners have the pecuniary means to gratify the dictates of a refined taste they are willing to pay whatever their love of the orimmentai shall cost and we accord to them in their efforts in this matter none butthemost proper motives but we believe it to be our duty to report adversely to their prayer We recommend that the ordinanceTrepared in accordance with their wishes be indefinitely postponed MRS J( ROBINSON Test Medium located at 4uS Grand River ave TAR ROBINSON al or re tores the affiieted JLJ at 4u8 Grand River ave OST A brown water spaniel with brass collar JLj Answers to the name of The finder receive reward bt retumiiag to 304 Cass ave RY A fpO The very desirable reside ice 292 Sec A ond with furnace hot mid cold water 7 barn etfl LEOPOLD NOTE 1 TH Henry street INDICATIONS Washington August 22 1 or the lower lake region slightly warmer and partly cloudy weather with frequent rain winds mostly southwesterly Talling barome ter or the upper lake region partly cloudy weather occasional rain warm southerly gen erally veering to colder northwest winds fol lowed by stationary or rising barometer City Personals Editor Hide "of Ldwell Journal Is in' Attorney General Kircimer is home from And the Grand Eowing Contests Will TakehoTT Jewsll Register of Probate is at Place as Announced Cape Vincent Chapin of the Caro Advertiser was I iarge List of Entries in Spite of the at the Exchange yesterday Wet Blanket rom Hillsdale unny Cool Burgess is on a visit to his fel I low professionals In Detroit I 1 Circuit Court Commissioner Harry Chipman I All the Committees Appointed and at is home from his base hall excursion I' Wnrk to Sftmre a Maomiflcent SUCCGSS Mrs Hawlay Lyon and daughter of Grand Rapids are visiting at the Exchange I 1 I At the regatta meeting at the JSrunswicic Mrs Weaver well lend wn (for many years I I I yesterday noon there was a large attendance i as mine hostess at is seriously ill ci I cf boating men and the Committee Alanson Bheley according to the Chicago I xu ir I and the latter gentlemen were evidently very Times is the most expert angler at Mackinaw Mr and Mrs Wm ord left last night for earnest over the business hand New York to attend the' rench openings in The abe Commodore Allen from the Icineeting Wednesday night was fully explained Lindsay General Agent of the New satisfaction of all Secreta York Life Insurance Company is a guest at explained that he was obliged to go the Russell I to and that before leaving he sent decent intelligence from ex PoUce justice the list of entries to Commodore Alien?
