New Trial Will Be Sought.

1t is stated that the city will insist
upon a new trial, for if the decision in
these cases were allowed to stand any
plan of Strengthening out the sidewalk
line, even upon compromise lines, in
several parts of the city where private
property encroaches, would have to be
forever abandoned. 1t was claimed by
the city that the law declares no adj
verse title to public property can be
acquired by individuals. but this point
was not vigorously pleaded at the trial
by the plaintiff.
Another fact that will be cited in
support of motion for a new trial is
stated to be that decision of the
United States supreme court has de-
clared that a claim to adverse title, as
in the cases at bar, cannot stand unless
the claimants show they have contin-
uously paid taxes on the land held adj
versely to the municipality. From the
record it appeared that the defendants
had larger frontage and depth than
their deeds called for, but that taxes
were assessed only upon the correct de-
scriptions stated in the deeds. How
ever, these points were not cited by
plaintiff at the trial.

that every essential attribute of a re-

that England stands for equal laws,
