VAN HORNE VACATED.
Supreme Court Dismisses
the Citizens Writs
of Certiorari
TIE FIGHT NOT YET ENDED.
If the Lehigh Valley Starts to
Take Possession the Aid Of
Chancery Will Be
Invoked.

The Branch Supreme Court, consisting
Of Judges Depue and Dixon, has decided
against the citizens who certiorariea the
ordinance Of the Street and Water Board
vacating Van Horne street where it
meets Grand street. at the request Of the
Lehigh Valley Railroad Company. which
proposes to erect coal shutes On the
ground The matter was argued before
Judges Depue and Dixon at Newark on
July 1e, and yesterday Judge Depue hlsd
this decision s-'-None Of the reasons as
signed for reversal would justify q rever-
sal ii these cases were decided upon fhs
merits. But there is no substantial DIFF
ference between these cases and the Van
asrbeek and Traphagen cases, and fol-
lowing those precedents the writ must be
dismissed in each case.
DAVID A. DEPUE, p. J.0
The case grew cut Of the application Of
the Lehigh Valley Company for the vaca-
tlon OF Van Horne street at its junction
With Grand street. The company pro-
poses to erect large coal depot there
which IL intends to reach from its main
tracks al Communipaw over the elevated
tracks Of the National Docks Railroad.
Ii VIII have there large coal pockets and
cnutes. In order 10 build these pockets
SO that they can be reached from the ele-
vated structure ft was necessary TO have
VanHorne street vacated. The Lshigh VAL
ley bought enough land. and gave it TO
the city TO construct q street from Van
Horne street to Woodward street, thus
giving the people Of Van Horne street an
outlet
The people who obtained the writs have
not yet determined whether they viii
appeal or not. But II the Lehigh Val
ley Railroad Company should attempt TO
begin the construction of the coal depot
they will probably apply 70 the Chancei-
lor for an injunction and fight the matter
out IN the Court of Chancery.

Judge Knapp Postpones Their Appoint
ment this Morning.


ment this Morning.
Judge McGrath applied to Judge Knapp
this morning for Commissioners to con-
denim the land required for the new
bonievarq. Judge AcGFath pfoduoea a
map which divided the boulevard
into six sections for the purpose
of condemnation. but the loops
which take in the new parks
were not properly designated. The ap-
proach TO park would be in one section
and the exit would be in another There
was also presented written statement
concerning each piece of property which
will be required for the road.
Judge Knapp thought that the petition
should be amended so thaCthe approaches
to a park would be in the same section,
and directed Judge McGrath 10 have that
done. When the petition and map are
corrected in accordance with Judge
knapp's suggestion they will be sent 70
him at Hackensack for his approval.
1t was also suggested that action in the
matter should be delayed until the mat
ter growing out OF the refusal OF Direc-
tor-at-Large Bruggemsnn TO sign the
park bonds is at the disposal Of the Court.
