SOUTH PARKS.

poses.
10 me Editor n The Tribune.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1O.-The move in the Lceisla
turc to get control of the South Parks has at it
head the Duulevy-Kcrr and Colchour party, an
is Joined by other smaller cliqucs. The Dun
levy combination embraces parties not know
to the general public, but whose names will hoy
probably come out. The Dunlevy interest con
trolls the Philips and Colehour tracts IN Lak
Park. The Philips tract contains 200 acre
which the Commission claim under purchas'
from Philips, for which they are to pay S1G0, ,00
when bis title is made good. The Dunlcvy in
terest claim the land under sale under cxecu
ton for q nominal amount, and expect to gel
for the land, If successful in their suit, from
$1,000, ,000 to 81 ,50o, 900.
The Colchour tract fconsists of eighty acres
tho poorest tract in the entire system and fo1
which they got an award on the iirst condemua-
tion suit OF s5,75o per acre. Judge Rogers
promptly set the verdict aside, aud in the
second they got verdict before Judge McAllis-
ter Of about 3d. 600 per acre. The Commission
have asked for another trial an expect to get
the land eventually for less than 900 per acre.
One object in tho South Park act OF placing the
appointment OF commissioners in the hands Of
the Circuit Court was to keep 1t out of politics.
| It has been q complete success. No one has
eTer heard Of any interference IN politics or
