Special Meeting Town Council.

FRANKLIN, La, July 5, 1909.
The Honorable Council met in
special session, Mayor j. c. Lewis
presiding, Mr.. Delahoussaye alb.
sent. The Mayor stated that the
object OF the meeting was to pass
on proposition of Mr.. R. Emmett
O'Niell to extend the gallery, both
upper and lower, across the
present sidewalk on the bayou
side of his residence. The propo.
sition was submitted by the Coun.
Gil to its attorney who advised
that if the sidewalk mentioned
was public property, that the town
had no right to grant the privilege
as asked for, but that if Mr..
O'Niell could show his private
ownership of what is now con.
sidered public thoroughfare, that
he would have the right to make
the proposed extension without
the towns authorization.
For the information of the pub
lie, Mr.. Alpha's opinion is here
added to as follows:
FRANKLIN. LA, July 5, 1909.
HON. JOHN C. LEWIS, Mayor,
City.
Dear Sir:-Pursuant to your re-
quest, I have examined into the power
of the municipal corporation OF Frank,
lin to grant to Mr.. r. Emmett O'Niell
the right to extend his lower gallery
over the public sidewalk to the East
of his residence at height which
would affect the present use OF that
sidewalk to the public.
If the height of the gallery were SUI
icient to allow free passing OF inc
public Hereunder, it would be IN tne
nature of mere rain or sun shade IS
are used by many other front pro-
prietors. But, when the gallery Is
placed too near the ground for sucn
general uses, it becomes an obstruc'
ton and the consent of the Council 70
place it there would be not ouly illegal,
but would probably be the base OF
future litigation in case OF injury
suffered by anyone in his attempt "
use the sidewalk by passing upon H.
If the property has never been oea n,
Gated, or bounded in such manner
as would equal a dedication, 1t re.
mains private property, and may &c
taken for any proper use by its own 'a.
If, on the other hand, it is pupnllc
property, it could only be taken ~
the corporation for uses equally pun
lie, but could not be granted Tor PEI
vate uses under any circumstances
Yours respectfully,
EMMETT ALPHA,
City Attorney.

LIBERTY LEAGUE IS ACTIVE.
Call to Be Issued Soon Looking to
REORGANIZATION.

A call will be issued early in the pres
emit week for a meeting of the executive
committee of the Personal Liberty
League of the District of Columbia. 1t
is proposed to reorganize the association
during the fall months, and 1t is ex-
pected many new names will be added to
the roll of membership.
A legislative committee will be named
to appear before Congress when neces-
sary against any attempted legislation
that will. in the opinion of the league,
seek to abridge any of the personal liber-
ties of the citizen. The committee will
be instructed especially to combat meas
ures proposing prohibition laws. In this
work assistance will be given by the
leagues in other large cities.
Information from Chicago states that
the Personal Liberty League there has
a membership of more than 10000 men.
Only males of voting age are permitted
to join the organization or sign its petit
tions to Congress or the state legisla-
lures. Included in the membership are a
number of clergymen.
The work of the league is carried on
quietly and without much Ostentation, It
is explained by local members.
