THE LINCOLN PARK ASSESSMENT CASE.

10 tho Editor Of Tie Chicago Tribune:
sIn: Lot mo correct some errors In your Lin
coin Park odi.orinl Of to-day. The amount of
ground being added to the park in Lake Wow is
about 23 acres, worth probably $4,000 por nero.
AS the township contains something ovor 5000
acres, you will readily perceive that % acres ID
not quito half the land In tho township, as you
state. Tho Town Of Like View is entirely ablo,
mud quite willing, to 10 assosaod enough to pny
for tho land to bo added to tho park within its
limits. It was because considerable part OF tho
money necessary to pay for the land taken as
addition to the park in North Chicago was really
assessed on Lake View. TINT the assessment
heretofore made Saa contested in the courts ut
a11.
Again; N1r. Culver Ia reported III tho Supreme
Court decision aB testityirg ti,ut, after tho
assessment Of 81 600 wns completed, an nd
ditional ahsoss,no.lt Of $780, 00D waH made on tho
property i'll North Chicago. His testimony was
in some way undoubtedly misunderstood, "a
nothing OF Tho kind was lono or attempted.
While tho clerical work Of tho assessments vns
being donc, many changes from tho first rough
estimates woro made, but mono aftor 1t wRs COM
plotted, aud tho whole amount assessed was only
s., 100000. It is certainly amazing that martcr
Of such Importance should be decided by tho
Supreme Court moroly on q mistake of what the
testimony really WIS, or nt least what is wnR
intaudea to be. A roLearing ehould bo nskcd

was murdered. Sho has mado strong nppcal
to our Government to send out an expedition to

to us TINT this will be the only really satisfactory
way Of clearing up the mystory and doing justico

soned, tho toll-talo evidence will be found upon
his body. 1t has been reported that though tho
Government may not send ycssol solely for the

Arcportor waited upon Mr. NJ. +. Tuloy, the
present Corporation Counsel, yesterday, and,
handing the above communication to him, nskod
his opinion.
"Thst is all correct in every particular, was
his rcBponso, after pornsing the paper. "Tho
citations arc quito correct"
"Then Judge McAllister is ineligible ?" asked
tho reporter.
"As the case now stands" replied Mr., Tuley.
"Can he be made eligibloS ?" continued tho
reporter.
"My opinion ia, said Mr.. Tuloy, " that if lie
came to Chicago, and remained for ninoty days
in the county and thirty days in tho city, hc
would DO eligible for the appointment because
he would then be voter in caso Of an elcction.
Tho samo applies to Jako nohm. He is
not eligible at preaent, being, aB

Bon of his roBiEaing tho Police Commissioner

Mr. Tuley-I understand It was bis intention

one glance at the lcence, hoarsely whispered

than the blundcr recorded in the University

They wished to become incorporated, as they
said, so as to be able to grant charters to other
