Whose Ia 1t?

AS is we'll known, the buildings
along Thirdst. between Main and
Oak-sts, set back about eight feet
from the plated lot lines, widening
that thoroughfare from sixty-six to
about eighty-two feet, and the ques-
tion has been frequently raised as to
whether the eight feet on either side
has been dedicated to public use
within the meaning of the law, so as
to constitute the strip part of the
public street. Some of the property
owners have commended that there
never was any intention of giving the
use to the public for: street purposes.
but that the buildings were set back
FOR tae conven3ence of the lot owners
solely; and furthermore, by maintain
ing oorchss over this strip, with pill
1ors resting upon the thoroughfare,
tbev have maintained actual posses
elon Of The disputed strips for their
own uses. On the other hand, it is
held that the strip has been dedicated
10 public use for q street, aud as such
the city council has the same control
Of it as it undisputedly has of the
street outside the eight feet.
It is a question of law pure and
simple, to be determined by the court
upon presentation of the facts.
Messrs. Sprague and Hilsda ale, own
ers of the Sank Centre house prop
erty maintain their right to control
the strip in dispute, and deny the
right of the cityVto order or build a
sidewalk thereon, The city council,
taking the other view of the matter,
ordered sidewalk fourteen feet wide
on Third-st., and they laid the out
side six feet in accordance with the
city order, and expressed determir
nation to lay what they pleased on
the inside eight feet
The. council thereupon proceeded to
put down a cement sidewalk, and E..
l.. Newell commenced work on

ton, as shown by the following citation
of simple facts:

planatory conteXt-presents an errone-
Gus impression of what the committee

the samples of water we sent them.
Therefore, with the exception of the sui
phuric acid ntamnation-which ought
to be corrected and hereafter prevented
by the new location of the water COM
pany's supply pipe at distance from the

There was really nothing III the COM

pressed by the State Chemist; and |
