years, with coupons attached, and 1t
proposes TO pay for the first thirty
years three per cent interest; for the second
thirty.six per cent and for the remaining thirty,
nine per ceat This Is virtually the substance Of
the bill, and the supporters Of the present Funding
bill in the Legislature are said to favor the new

CITIZENS RIGHTS RESPECTED IN JERSEY

Latest Phase OF Mr.. Leist W.. The Railway
Land Grabberz.
The case OF Mr.. Charles Lest, a property owner
of Essex county, N. j., and the Montclair Railway
came up again recently before Chancellor
Zabriske, &C his Chambers, at Jersey City,
on q third application OF the company TO
have the injunction previously granted
removed. 1t VIII be recollected that the
price offered by the company for Mr.. Leiss land on
The line Of The railroad declined by him on the
ground that the amount offered (s1,so0 was not
sufficient. The case was brought into the Essex
Court, Judge Depue, on an appeal from the award Of
the commission and the jury rendered verdict,
declaring the land be worth nearly S. 900. Mean
while company paid the slso0, and on that ground
sought to have the injunction removed The Guam
celOr held that under the constitution OF New
Jersey land owner could not be deprived OF his
property until just compensation had first been
made him. lnasmuch, therefore as only one part OF
the injunction had been compiled with, the PAYING
to wit, or little over half the iull amount Of COM
pensatl0n, the injunction must remain In force.
This case though involving comparatively slight
interests, assumes importance, considering that It's
ultinatum serves precedent IN cases where
thousands Of dollars might be involved Instead VI
hundreds.
