and st. Louis have long had it, but it
IS difficult to operate it in any city of

to- obtain sufficient subscribers. The

HOLD BARGAIN IS VOID
ALDERMEN THINK HENNEP1N
AND LYNDALE CAN BE TURNED
OVER TO CITY WITHOUT Elk
PENSE.

Aldermen who have become interest,"
ed in the proposal to relieve the park
board Of the care Of Hennepin and
Lyndale avenues say that there need
be no great trouble in securing trans
fer Of authority over these two alleged
parkways. !
They realize that there is bargain
between the park board and the own
ers Of property along Hennepin ave-
nue., whereby the latter are exempt
from certain street assessments, such
as paving and sprinklineg,, in return
for deeds of strip Of land to widen
the street. It is gued that this agree
ment is of very little account, because
it was made under the theory that Hen
nepin avenue would always remain a
parkway. Inasmuch as the supreme
court has said that it is not a park
way, and never can become anything
but a traffic street, the agreement of
contract is not Of effect If this is
conceded, the land decided to the park
board naturally reverts to the owners
of abutting property.
Should the council in the meantime
body could then proceed to widen Hen
nepin avenue according to well-estab.
lished proceeding which is called into
use several times every year. ,.~..~-
By such proceedings the original
strip passes to the park board could be
condemned for highway purposes. Any
set. of commissioners would find that
the benefits of the widening of the
street were equal to the damage by the
loss of the land, and there would, hence
be no expense to the city.
Attorneys to whom the plan has been
submitted are not prepared to say that
I it can be carried out. They admit
however, that it does not look like gooc
law to say the park board can be com
PEELED to maintain traffic street.
