N. Y, Cent RAJ.
MUST PAY
$2,0OO,OOO

New York. Jan. 3l.-Litigation over the
appropriation by the New York Central
Of easements Of light air and access
from property owners along Park avenue
has seen definitely settled, so counsel, for
the railroad company said yesterday, by
tho decision OF the United States Supreme
court I'm four cases on Monday
The decision makes the obligation OF The
Central the same as was that OF the Third
Avenue Railroad company at the tcrmi-
nation of a similar litigation
As a result OF IL the Central must pay
property owners a sum estimated on its
behalf at S1.5O0.eO: by attorneys for the
property owners at 100000
The damages were asked for by reason
OF the construction OF elevated tracks 10
replace the depressed tracks from one
Hundred and Sixth street 20 the Harlem
River.
The work was authorized by an act Of
the legislature Of 1892 and was begun the
following year The operation Of trains
over the viaduct was begun in February
1891.
simultaneously property owners along
the route OF the Improvement organized
tho Park Avenue Property association
and through Bushby n Berkeley began
damage suits against the company.
OF appeals was Lewis against the COM
pany I'm January. 1900. which was a vic
tory for the plaintiff. The company was
not satisfied. and IN December OF the
following year won the case OF Fries
against the Central on much the same
statement of facts
1t was the contention OF the company
that the part Of the avenue on which the
alterations had been made had long been
used for railroad purposes and that the
changes were no detriment TO adjoining
property.
on the other hand, it was argued. the
raising Of the tracks were really an inn
provement OF the street. inasmuch as It
permitted, over most OF the route street
crossings and an entire paved surface
where these had not existed before.
The case was taken 10 the United
States Supreme court on the grounds,
principally. that the act of the legisla-
ture was unconstitutional i'm permitting
the taking OF private property without
compensation and in impairing as implied
right OF contract Four months ado In
the Muhlker case the court by a vote OF
TO upheld the position Of the appel
