CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-Your article entitled
" Bad Special-Assessment Law'' is quite op-
perfume, and it you shall continue to advocate
your advanced ideas upon this subject you will
deserve the thanks Of all wc1l-disposcd people
in this community. 1nstead Of two proceedings,
as ut present, let there be one; this would Ire
Quire very little change in the present law. One
set OF Commissioners could estimate both the
damages and benefits at the same time and en1-
body the same in one report, and one trial upon
the report Of the Commissioners would be SUI
ticient; and any party assessed for benefits
should be permitted to introduce evidence as
to the value Of property to be condemned for
the improvement and to be paid for out Of such
special assessment.
The 141th section OF the act under which
Court power to have any special assessment re-
cast whenever it shall be necessary for the at
talt'mcnt OF justice. There certainly have been
cases where this power should have been exer-
clsed; but for want OF use it has grown rusty.
l have never known case in which this power
was exercised. In the Dearborn street case the
owners OF property assessed for $721, 600 out OF
an aggregate assessment of 81, ,122000 signed
and presented to the Court petition praying
Tor the exercise OF this power, and the Court
refused to grant the prayer OF the petitioners
and confirmed the assessment. This assess
ncnt was such q gigantic fraud upon the prop
erey-owners that the City Council, as matter
Of justice, did what the Court refused to do,
viz: set aside the whole proceedings.
In the Statestreet widening cases the Court
was asked and declined to exercise the same
power. It was shown in these cases that the
property on State street between Harrison and
