BUILDING FRONTS ON STREET INTERSECTIONS.
The STAR has referred to Col Wilson's de-
termination to run asphalt walks through park
ings at the intersections of streets so as to sep-
arate them from the abutting buildings should
there be any. When the Commissioners were
interviewed about the matter they waived all
jurisdiction over the spaces in question and
Col. Wilson assumed control. Since that time
there has arisen a question Of the rights of
property-owners to street frontage on
these reservations. Attorney Riddle decided
they had such a right. Col. Wilson now writes
to the Commissioners, touching this opinion, in
which it was held the Commissioners have au-
thority to grant building permits. He states
that it is not Questioned by any one that these
spaces are either under the control of the
or himself, and he asks that the
Commissioners Indicate which of the spaces
under the opinion of the attorney belong to
that class over which they claim to have right
to allow AUDITING property-owners street 'front.'
