case.

CITY HAS RIGHT TO CUT
THROUGH KRKBRIDE'S
Judge Sulzberger Rules 44th
Street May Be Extended
Across Asylum's Grounds.

The first victory in the fight of West
Philadelphia for access to Market street
through I[irkbride's was gained today
when President Judge Sulzberger, in Court
of Common Pleas No. 2, ruled that the
city has the right to run 44th street
through the grounds of the big insane
asylum, from Market street to Haverford
avenue. City Solicitor Michael ]. Ryan
argued the case for the city and John G..
johnson represented the Pennsylvania
Hospital.
Heretofore all attempts to open UP the
thiclSly populated district north OF Kirk
brides have been defeated by the con-
trlbutors to the Pennsylvania Hospital by
reference to the act of 1854 Under this
the hospital gave the city half the ground
for thoroughfares at east and west ends
of the hospital, with the understanding
that no streets. alleys or roads should be
cut through the rest of the tract without
the consent of the hospital.
Mr.. Ryan argued before Judge Sulz-
berger that the act of 1881 gives the city
exclusive control and direction of tho
opening of all highways within the limits
of the city 1t was the contention of Mr.
Johnson that the city had entered into n
contract with the Legislature of 1854 and
that no notice that 1t was to rescind this
contract was given by the city. Mr., Ryan
met this with the argument that the act
of 1854 was a public measure and not /
contract.
Mr.. Johnson acquiesced In the opening
OF the street when 1t was conceded by
the CITY Solicitor that the hospital au-
thorItIes would have the right to put in
a claim for the ground they already had
dedicated to the two thoroughfares. Pow
elton avenue on the east and 10th street
on the west of the hospital.
