The title of the property owner to
the air above his property is well es-
tablished. The dictum under the
old Roman law, explains the Pittsburg
Dispatch, that his title extends from
the center Of the earth to the zenith"
may be little hyperbolical. But
that although the owner does not oc-
cupy the air above his lot no other
person, can, is fully shown in the case
of a one or two-story building adioin-
ing twenty-story skyscraper. If
the owner Of the big building cannot
let his balcony or cornice project over
the low building hundred feet down
what right is there for air.travelers to
make public highway through the
private property fifty feet still higher?
The legal responsibility in the latter
case would probably be akin to that in
the case of a vacant lot. He would
be an unreasonable property owner
who should prosecute pedestrian for
making a short cut across the vacant
lot But il he could show tangible
damages by the transgression he could
undoubtedly recover. In the case Of
the aeronaut it is the possibility Of
damages to persons or property below
that calls for consideration.

Charles f. Gehring. manager of the Civic AL

i have not heard who represented this thievng
gang, but l am inclined to think his professional
ethics must be more in line with the men who
hired MIN. We have reached fine stage in the
political life of this community when fraudulent
petition can be submitted Of
tons and then meet the requests of or two
or half dozen of the conspirators that the names
OF three thousand or more signers be withdrawn.

which seem to me to be of sufficient Importance
