DAMAGE TO PRIVATE PROPERTY DY c0RP0-
PATlONS

DAMAGE TO PRIVATE PROPERTY BY C0RPO-
EATI0Ns.
Yesterday the bill to prescribe a mode
for the assessment and payment OF damages
to private property by corporations came
up on its second reading.
The bill provides that whenever the pro-
perty OF any citizen OF any city or town in
this Commonwealth shall be damaged by
reason of the cutting down, filling up, or
grading OF streets or alleys, such city or
town shall be liable therefor: and also pro-
yides the mode OF assessing such damages.
Mr.. Taylor, OF Richmond, offered a sub
stitute for the bill, which provided that
when property is improved by the grades.
&C., then said property shall be assessed
TO pay for said improvements by the same
process as the city or town l. forced to pay
property-holders when damage Is slls-
tanned.
Mr.. Taylor spoke in support OF his sub
stitute. lie thanked the House for its
kindness in postponing the consideration
of the bill during his absence in order TO
give him a chance to be present.
Continuing, he said:
81 concede, with but very unimp0Ttant
changes. all the patron OF the original bill
claims. The point that / desire to carry
out is that the bill shall be- so framed as to
allow the cities i'm this Commonwealth some
chance for reimbursement for their usually
generous OUTLAWS. have long since favored
the idea OF paying land-damages where inn
proyements impair property, but |
say il is but just and equitable
for property-holders to pay for the
enhanced value of their property where
cities open up streets and highways
which often render valuable barren and
Masterpieces. While this bill is general in
its character, / see clearly n specific bearing
upon nv own city. Here we are surround
ed by natural difficulties which render il
practicable TO cut and level various streets
! in order to give proper drainage and suit
able bearings upon other streets. Around
me sit members who represent the various
cities Of this State, who are interested in
this measure. and to them shall look for
assistance IN properly presenting 10 this
body the growing demands OF the
cities and towns of this Commonwealth.
As one OF the representatives OF this city,
however, shall confine myself 10 the im-
mediate care Of my own people. who are
welded to their beautiful city by indisso-
luble ties OF common bond which binds
them together. The grand central idea OF
my people is to improve and beautify, rem
dering attractive the appearance OF the
city, which inures so much TO her pros
perity and thrift. Nothing can so much
attract the visitor as nicely-graded avenues,
which I am proud to say, under
the tutored hand and guidance Of
an engineer who ornaments and
graces everything he touches this city
! can to-day point and with pleasure reIer to

pointed to sell the Washington, Cincinnati

asked for a p0stponcment OF the decree
until to-day, in order to give Mr. Hardy
time to consult with his associates. This
