Mr.. SMITH, of Jay: These people asking
relief By this bill are denied the iustics
which the passage of this DILL would give
them. The judges Of the se7eesl circuits are
not lszy men. bat thew earn evry cent OF
money they receive Itsane were paid by
the case they try, they would not get as
much as the ordinsry Justice of the Peac9.
tits asking too much Of any one Judge to DO
the business ia this Circuit. he opposed

Section 62S Z S. was read tue third tine
and passed by yeas IL, nays 2
Mr.. ZIMMERMAN, explaining: This bill
provides that Directors of turnpike com
panies which may desire to appropriate any
public highway shall give fifteen days notice
yrior to the regular term Of the County
Commit sioners. This is to prevent people
who live along the line Of any highway the
Directors OF turnpike companies propose TO
use, so that in case OF uDwlllingness on the
part OF auy interested they may have a
hearing before the Board of Commissioners
and chance to remon6trate. Ia our section
OF the country turnpike roads are mostly
toll roads. and frequently companies obtain
control of highways against the wish o. PEG
pie along the line. This oill would stop
that abuse. Ii also provides that notices
shall be posted, one at the Court House aud
tour along the Hhe OF such nigh way.

INDIANAPOLIS UNION DEPOT.
Mr. Winters Union Railway bill 8. 1891
being read the third time
Mr.. OVERSTREEF; / concede there is
great necessity for a larger union depot in
this city, and that 1t can't be built without
the vacation perhaps of streets aud alleys
and the condemnation of property, but l
don't think 10 accomplish that end the SEN
ate ought TO strike down the rights of
private citizens without giving them hear.
ing. Under this bill property can be con.
demDed IN fee simple, streets and alleys
created and the title in fee simple vested in
the corporation, and the owners of property
have no right to appeal. IL does seem TO me
the right TO appeal ought to be given to citi-
Zens who might feel themselves aggreiVed
Mr.. FOULKE: / feel favorably inclined
to this bill, but if there is any doubt as to
its provisions properly protecting the rights
OF individuals think il would be well, and
l move to refer il to special committee OF
three to report ii back tomorrow, aud that
its consideration be made a special order for
tomorrow afternoon al ? o'clock.
Mr.. WINTER: Instead of striking down
the rights of property holders this Dill affords
greater protection to prOperty-hOlders here
than anywhere IN the State of Indiana as
against railroads. The whole theory OF al.
lowing ailr9sds to take possession of prop
erty is that II is for the benefit OF the pablo
at large. IL every citizen had the right to
take en- appeal l would like to know when a
railrosd could be built. One would take an
appeal after another and the result would be
The railroad would have to stand and wait
until these cases were decided before the
tirst nail could be driven for a union depot.
The effect would be tOnQllify this bill If
provision were inserted giving parties the
right 10 appeal I have Distributed copies of
inis Dill among nunbsr Of our citizens aud
requested them to state objections 10 il; this
matter has been agitated for over year, it
uhs eeeh discussed IN The papers, out | have
Lot heard Of q single person who has the
slightest objection 10 this DILL
Mr.. 10UCHE: am thoroughly in favor
~ The project 10 enaole this Uaion Railway
Compsuy 70 bald 8 union depot. bat !
think We should make haste slo Wv. and we
should be very csrsfuI to see thst the rights
OF 81 parties are properly protected aud cared
for. IL is necessary OF course to Condemn
lard. bit this bill ought 20 provide for that
according 10 the general law in force in this
State at this time. We should give this CON-
pany NO greater rights against private in
dividusls tnen the general law
The motion 10 refer was dec dad on a di-
