THOUGHT TOO DRASTIC
Lawson Sidesteps on Question
of Legality of Measure
Recently Adopted

The recently enacted charter amend
ment denying the common council the
power 10 grant the use or occupation
OF the streets TO abutting property
owners or others has been thrown into
the discard by the council committee
on streets.
Corporation Counsel lawson In.
formed individual members OF the
committee. Monday morning, that he
was not anxious TO give an opinion,
previously asked for. defining the
scope or the new amendment, The
corporation counsel advised the alder.
men 10 use their own discretion In
granting street privileges. The COM
mittee members took the hint and
speedily granted number OF petitions
that had been held up pending the
decision OF the corporation counsel
Fourteen such petitions for por.
techocheres. covered areas, hoists and
lamp posts for decorative lights will
be reported out favorably TO the coun-
tcil next Tuesday night No permits
will be recommended for gasoline sta
lions outside the lot line. The com.
mittee is still Withholding action on
about a score OF these.
In an interview, Corporation Coun-
gel Lawson refused TO say that the
charter amendment is too drastic In
effect.
s"All laws are supposed TO be good
laws" was Mr.. Lawson's manner OF
evading direct answer. 81 will say
that | still think the council can use
its own judgment in granting ease
ments IN Che public streets and high
ways"
The charter amendment on which
Mr.. Lawson does not care TO give an
opinion, was drawn up by himself at
the suggestion OF Aid John c. Lodge.
IF the aldermen demand an opinion
/ will give one" said Lawson. but he
would not intimate what the nature
of the opinion would be.
Members OF the committee TO whom
lawson spoke said II was their impress
sion that the town lawyer" would say
that the amendment was too drastic
II compelled 70 give an opinion In
writing. II Is not likely that the alder
men will insist on a written opinion.
Aid. Heating thinks that people
beneflting from street privileges
such as covered areaways-granted
by the council ought TO be taxed, the
amount 10 be fixed In proportion TO
the assessed valuation OF the abutting
property. In New York such scheme
has been worked out, he says. and n
