Creek Injunction Proceedings.
The question of assessing special benefits
on property adjacent to the Rock Greek Park
was before Judge Cox yesterday in an argu-
ment upon the suit of Mary Van Riswick and
others to restrain the park commission from
making the assessments.
The complainant's case was presented,
much as already stated by THE TIMES, when
the attorneys were heard by the commission
a month ago. Assistant District Attorney
Taggart for the government said the com.
mission. despite the opposing attorneys as
sertions, plainly had all its powers and
it had finished all the work laid out for it in
the act forming it, and these very assess
ments were then provided for. Besides, he
said. it looked as if the complainants were
crying before they were hurt. The commits
sion might not find any benefits had accrued
Judge Cox said in taking the papers for a
decision that 1t seemed to him no injury was
imminent as the commission had not yet
found any case for assessment.
