DEFECTS RICHTEO
BY CURATIVE ACT
Annexation OF Sears to Rock Island
Made Absolutely Legal Claim
City's Counsel.
OBJECTIONS ARE ANSWERED.
Rock Island Had Right to Agree to
Pay Part OF Assessments for Pub
lie improvements.

That the curative act passed by the
general assembly remedied any defect
that might have been found in any of
the various stages of the annexation
proceedings, was clearly explained to
the court this afternoon by William
McEniry in the quo warranto case. in
which an attempt is made to keep the
community from expanding, in the
race OF the expressed wish of the citi-
zens OF both Rock Island and of Sears.
! Mr.. McEniry Of counsel for the city,
declared that the petition which the
REALTORS claim to have been faulty and
on which the village board of Sears
called the first annexation election,
was not material. He said that the
curative legislation was sufficient to
remove any question as to the lagality
of annexation.
This morning J. K. Scott, city attor-
ney, paid particular attention to the
objections which c. B. Marshall of
counsel for REALTORS, raised Yesterday
afternoon to the pleas of the city Mr.
Marshall attacked the method of spe-
clal assessment which had been adopt
ed under the terms of the union ordi-
nance. He claimed that the city had
no right to limit the power of the com
missioner appointed by the court to
make assessment by specifying what
the city should pay, apparently aban-
doning his principal former objections
that the annexation was illegal be-
cause the law under which the election
was called had been repealed and be-
cause the annexation petition of Sears
was faulty.
Hands Not Tied.
Mr.. Scott, in reply to the assessment
proposition, declared that the city in
no way tied the hands of the commits
sioner. The commissioner is at liberty
in this case, as in all others, to make
an equitable assessment for the public
Improvement proposed, the city merely
agreeing that it should stand all of the
expense above a certain figure.
Mr.. Marshall in his argument yes
terday declared that the city had no
power 10 originate public improve
ments which he declared was solely
matter for the board of local improve
ments. He argued that in the annex
alton case the provisions of the union
ordinance relative to improvements
proposed, were not initiated by the
board Of local improvements, and
therefore the contract which the city
made with the village of Sears was
void, because the city council could
not carry out its provisions.
1t was shown by Mr.. Scott that the
union ordinance did not say that the
city council of this city would carry
out the various provisions of the I'M
ion ordinance but that it did say the
city would and that meant the board
of local improvements, as one of the
departments of the city government.
