Is 1T VALID THE city councils have enacted law in
relation to the duties and compensation of the city
veyor which contains many useful provisions and
well adapted to promote the interests of the city
single section of this act fear has been sufficient
y considered with reference to the rights property
holders and if executed according its terms may lead
to results not contemplated The following is the section
referred to:
Sec g. And be enacted That whenever the surveyor
of said city shall lay off any lot therein any of the parts
into which square lot may be subdived aforesaid
he shall the whole of that front of the square
which such lot part lies and If such admeasure
ment the whole front of the square exceeds falls short
of the aggregate of the fronts of the lots that side
the square the recorded he shall apportion
such deficiency among the lots pieces that
front agreeably to their respective dimensions. +"
1t is respectfully suggested that the city authorities do
not possess the power to add to or take from owners
any portion Of their property. The right determine
who shall enjoy suffer from deficiency is
not vested in the city councils they confer upon
the surveyor the power to do so. If A owns whole
square having surplus of fronts divided into twelve lots
and he sells the to twelve persons the rights of the
purchasers will depend not upon the determination of
the surveyor but upon the conveyances his grantees
Each will take his lot it existed and no more If the
grantees acquire given number of feet they are limited
to that number In where there may an excess
deficiency the law determines the rights Of all whose
interests involved by rules at just and appro-
pirate growing out of their respective contracts which
power change without their expressed in
conformity with the rules of law to make such consent
binding We make these suggestions for the purpose of
calling attention to the questions involved that if our
views right the committed may be corrected be-
fore any steps shall be taken to execute what to u.s.
seems invalid provision Of law which clothes one man
with authority to take from individuals without due pro-
cess of law trial of any kind their vested rights and
to confer them upon others.

SINGULAR EFFECTS OF ELrcrRIorTY.Ihe following sin
gula incident which recently occurred at the locomotive
works in Detroit, is chronicled by the Free Press
GA locomotive being moved from the mandatory
to the central depot and had arrived in the middle of the
street. when suddenly all hands dropped the bars with
which they moving the machine, and all fell back
in arnazement Resuming them at the order of the
in charge, they applied them again to the wheels, and
again fell back parayzed the instant they touched the
iron The director of the job caught up of the bars
and making savage thrust, planted it under wheel
preparatory to giving huge lift No had it
touched however than he it fall from his grasp to
the ground it had done in every before Such
singular excited attention, and examna-
ton made to the cause when it was found that
the locomotive in passing under the telegraph line had
come in contact with broken wire that hung sufficiently
low to reach it, The whole of iron composing the
locomotive had thus become charged with electricity
which had communicated itself to the bars that the men
held in their hands and caused the effect above described
The wire then removed and the difficulty obviated In
a moment
