IEQAIi INTELLIGENCE. PrBirfiiCoriiT at Nim Pbittb Michael Hon lr et al. vs. Tbe City of Philadelphia et al. In "Vbad, J. Broad street wi laid on thy William JVun, in bis plan of the city of Philadelphia, nod was one mile In length, from Vine to Cledar street, and one hundred fwt In width. Thl. street now extends from the IMawnre, at League Island, to the northern boundary of the present city, In one tralebt line, of an uniform width of one hundred and thirteen feet, for eleven and a half miles. Xbls street, from Willow to Prime street, a dis tance of only one and a half miles, Is onstructei and disfigured by the tracks of the Philadelphia ftnd .Kenning rnuionu, hib vuy iniujnu, nuu me Knuthwark railroad, and by the various turnouts of private owners. On the, loth of June, 8Br, an ordinance was passed tiy the City IJonnells to grade, curb and macadamize Broad street, from Colombia avenne to German town avenne, the portion from Columbia avenue to Willow street having been paved with cobble stones several years previous. iu me in jmr the Central Passenger nmiway vuiumuj ui rmi delphla claimed the right to carry their railway down Broad street, from Columbia avenue to i, .,,. and to nse steam as a propelling rower. The cltlaens protested against it, and the tjlty Solicitor was instrncted by Councils to take ench legal measures as may be neoeseary to re strain the threatened occupation of Broad street for a railway by any rniiwuj coiupnuy, or ny any per nn nrnertons. company or companies, corpora tion or corporations whatever, and on the I3h of Ootober I grnntea an injunction, nuu me supreme Court, in tne year lonowiug, in rne Common. weHlth vs. The Central Passenger Rill way ti P F.

Clls the drait of an act for the nermnnnnt Im. provement of Broad street, which on the Hh of January, ihuu, was referred to the Committee ou Law. This was an act to incorporate Michael lionvler, Henrv Diston. Matthias W. Hnlrlwin. T B. Peterson, and their associates, by the name of The Citizens' Association for the Improvement of Broad street, In the city of Philadelphia." On the Kin of March, Mr. Freeman presented a nnti. tlon from two hundred and twenty owners of yrupervy, owning miriy-iwo tnousand feet front on Broad street, in favor of the r-moval of the rails from Broad street, and jn the same day the Committee On Law made their report, accompanied by a draft of a law prepared by them. This draft, with a -veroai amendment or bo in the second section, made In Select Conncil, is In fact the act subse quently passed by the legislature, and the consti tutionality of wblchls now contested. This was preceded by a resolntion reanesting the Leeisin.. tare to pass it. On the passage of the resolution of request me vote in select uouncil was 13 to 4, and in the Common Council 33 to 5. The Committee on Law, In their report, say: "That after having ucu tuo tituiui nu opportunity to appear be fore your committee, and to express their approba tion or disapprobation of the proposed law. your commltee proceeded to consider the same delibe rately, and having amended the bill so as to guard "B"" "uu wun lue least inconvenience to all interested, they have ceme to the conclusion, and mo report, that the propoted act of Atscmbly it emi. tiently proper, and will, in the opinion of your com mittee, if enacted Into a law, redound to the beneilt nd future welfare of the city and the citizens "To the property owners, this measure, as In tended to be carried out, will be vastly beneficial.

The act before na was nassed nn the e.M nf tvrorh 18C8 (P. Laws, 2!U), and on the 3oth of the same uumin anotner act was passed (P.

They "have also bad a conference with the owners of property on Broad street, between Jefferson and Oxford streets, who are willing to put down a square of it in front of their properties, without expense to the city, except for intersections;" and reported a resolu tion authorizing the same, which became a law on the3(ith November, and the square was laid wltli the Nlcolson pavement to the entire satislactioji Of those gentlemen. On the 14th December Connoils passed a supple ment to the ordinance of the 5tn July, ls.ii, ordain ing "that the privilege given to property owners to change the character of paving, as specified In section 1 of the ordinance to which this is supple mentary, shall, nnder the same restrictions, in clude the centre roadway therein designated as tha macadamized drive," provided that the macad amizing Bhall not be replaced or superseded, by either cobble or cubical stone pacing." The very able Chief Engineer and Surveyor, Strickland Kneues, In his annual report of the7tn January, lfcu7, to Mayor McMichaei, saye: "Ano ther pavement, whiph is extensively used, and meet with great favor iu our western cities, is the INicolson pavement, which was Introduced in Ohi cago in lb6, St. Louis and Milwaukee in 1659, and where it is still being laid on ihelr new thorough fares.

On the 25 tli of May last this fcub-commlttes re- rorted to the Committee on Highways that they ad visited Chicago, and inspected "streets which bad been paved with It for greater or less periods of time, some of them for nine years." After ctaung the superiority of oar soil a foundation, that at C blengo being soft and marie ground, they eny that owing to this fact the Nlcolson pave ment will Inst much longer here than In that city "The Nlecleon pavement," say the subcommit tee, bas severnl prominent advantages over stne f lavements. For instance, Its comparative noise epsrers and freedom from cJnst, and Its great saving In tbe wear and tar of horses and vehicles. Hori-pn do not require to be shod so olten. and their hoc. la and legs are in better condition than those wbicb travel over stone pavements. The saving for wegon or carriage bills for repair Is very con siderable. It can be more easily Ttept clean, and lees dnst arises from It. Then, too, the greater hold which hordes take upon U enables them to draw loads with greater ease and speed, thereby farili'Rtlng travel and transportation. Air. K Denes' opinion Is expressed In his affidavits In this cae. "1 am of opinion," says he, "that this pavement allows travel to passoverit almost with out noise; that the wear and tear of rolling stock Is very much reduced, end that It Is almost wholly frre from oust; and that for these reasons It isa very riesirnbln pavement for Broad street, between the points authorized." "1 desire to say that I fonnd a highway in Chicago so paved hnd not been repaired for seven years, and the hind of repair which bad been done wa in equalizing the surface, which in someplace? had worn unequally. In no case did I learn that the pavement required renewal, although laid seven jears, and it was because of this that I have stated that stud pavement needed no repair, which of coarse is to be accepted with relation to the subject matter, and comparatively with other paving. "I eay there Is no dlfllculty in nccess to gas and Wfiler plprs, and I learned from the engineers of Chicago ibai this payment was frequently re moved for this purpofe and eally restored; and although I made an examination with rofarono to this, 1 lonnd no lmperfestion in the pavement." Altera full, protr icled, and carelnl consideration of the whole subject on the ii7ih J uue last, the com mittee reported "an ordinance anthorizlng tln paving of a portion of Broad street with the Nlcol son pavement," which, wilh an amendment in Common Council, wii passed unanimously by both Councils on the 3d July, and was approved by the Mayor on the 5th, and is the ordinance under which the contract by the Department ol High ways was entered into with Charles E. Jenkins and Jonathi n Tnylor, the terms ot which are con tained In the articles of agreement of luih July last between the city and those gentlemen. Mr. Gnlllou, on behalf of his clients, protested against tbe laying of the pavement, ami Informed Councils bis clients would contest the legality of the ordinance and th constitutionality of the act ot Assembly of the !23d March, 1808. These are substantially tbe questions before me. It Is easy to say an act of Assembly Is unconstitu tional, but it requires a very clear violation of the fundamental law to be made out to induce a Court to take the responsibility of declaring it to be so, and, of course, nnlllfyirg all proceedings under it. Th act Itself was framed with the approbation of tbe property owners ou Broad street, and of the citizens at large. It was intended to secure the freedom of a great avenue, eleven and one-half miles in length, from all obstructions of every kind. It was intended also to protect Broad street from the Central Passenger Hallway and all other railways forever. Councils, with only nine dis sontlents in both bodies, requested tbe Legislature to pass It, which they did. This net and its provi sions were hailed by ell as wiee and beneficent, and as securing the greatest street of our city as a public drive, carriage-way or avenne for all time to come. If it be unconstitutional, then the railroads and other obstructions musr remain, and any railway which can procure tee Legislative sanction may lay its tracks over its whole length, and use steam in Its most objectionable form. I have examined the act carefully, and I believe It to be clearly con stitutional. It Is the settled law of Pennsylvania that high ways are universally the property of the State, and are subject to its absolute direction and con trol. The State as the legitimate sovereign may dispose of them by their Representatives, and at their pleasure. Broad street Is a highway, and there are cpon a portion of it railroad tracks which, can be taken by the exercise of the powers of emi nent domain. Upon these acknowledged princi ples this act was framed. The first section authorizes, empowers, and re quiret the city of Philadelphia "to occupy and ap propriate Broad strtet in suld city for its entire length as the same is now opened, or may here after be opened, and frcrn curb to curb tboreof, ex cept as hereinafter provided, for the uses and pur poses of a publio drive, carriage-way, street, or avenue, and to improve the said street or portions thereof from time to time, and in whole or In part, with such mode of pavement, paving, macadam izing, gravelling, or other roadway, as ma v. in the judgment of the Select and Common Councils of SHidclty.be best adapted to and lor the uses and purposes aforesaid; and for that purpose tbe said Councils eUall have, and are hereby authorized to enuct such ordinances or resolutions, with such conditions or stipulations as may require the cost of said improvements to be puid for by the owners of property abutting upon caid street." After thn decision in the Commonwealth vs. Woods, 8 Wright 113, how is It possible to argue that any part of this plain section Is unconstitu tional t Under the second section of the act of April, 190, tbe Common Council, then the legisla ture of the city, were authorized to pass ordinances for levying of taxes for the purposes of "lighting, watching, watering, pitching, paving and cleans ing of the streets and alleys ot tbe suld city," and 'regulating the time, order and manner of estima ting, assessing, levying and collecting of the said taxes, and of lighting, watching, watering, pitch ing, paving and cleunsing the eaid street, lanes and alleys." Under this general anthority to the lo cal leg isluture, taxes were levied und collected, and tbe city was lighted, watched, pitched, pnved and eieanted, and under tLe word "watering" water works were erected to i-npply the city with water from ihe Schuylkill, tLe precuroors of our present magnificent works at Fairmount. These great and extensive powers were to be exercised by the Councils by means of "laws, ordinances, regula tions and constitutions," enacted by them as a legislative body. How much larger and more extensive were the powers vetted in tbe city seventy-seven years ago than are to be found in this much abused first sec tion The section first Appropriates, through the agency of the city, Broud street ns a public drive, cairiuge-way, btreet or avenue, which being a proper nse of a highway, is clearly constitutional. 1 he next provision is tne direction to improve the said street or portions thereof, with such mode ot pavement, &o , as in the ludgraent ot Coucctls may be "best adapted to and for the uses and pur poses aforesaid." To this I see no objection. Then tbe Councils are authorized to enuct such ordi nal: ces or resolutions (which is their neuul ordi nary and only mode of proceeding) "with such conditions or stipulations as may require the cost of said Improvement to be paid for by the owuers of property abutting upon said street," thus limiting the taxiug power ol the city in this case to those who are directly, immediately and largely bene. mm Dy tne lmnrovtrnciH, xnere can oe no doubt thll, hl . i . I i-,n,l iKI. ilia. . w prO lo.Ol COUblllUUOUIM, I.U mio poses of all that part cf the act which is material to the question beioie me or affects the present plain tills. There is, however, e proviso "That so much of Bioad street as lies Let ween Willow and Prime streets shall not be subject to the opera' ion of this act for the period of thi'ee years lrora the passage hereof," that is until th 23d May, lt-00. This portion of tbe stieet of course must be freed from the railroads laid in it to make It a publij drive through the v. hole length of the street. From Market street to Willow street, Broad street Is practically not a bighv-ay at all, as any one may find by taking a carriage and driving over It. For two squares at least U,6 street is not only obstruc ted by the railroad trucks and turnouts, but by loaded and empty Jreigbt cars, and coal cars stand ing or movicg on all parts of them. It is a dis grace to our city to have so noble a street rendered almost iniprtesitble by ordinary vehicles. Tte second and third eections.of the act provide, in a constitutional manner, for the removal of nil these obstructions. It is only necetgary to observe thatthe words "or other obstructions" In the se cond section is meant to cover the turnouts. When all tnt-ie oljects are accomplished, then this street will be pn served forever in Its entire length as a public drive or carriage-way for all lull' re generuiions.. 'I he city pavei, aiul it.e expense is paid cither by gei.eral or local u.xatiou, and I never heard that tbe tuxpnyers in the o.d city, or the property own ers in the districts, were the owners of the mate rials with winch the ttreets were paved. I hardly tlin k tte eobhle-s'.oije objection can be seriously urged on constitutional grounds; nor is there any. thing in the further ohjectlon that cobble-stones are Included la the vords " or other obstruc tor," which we'huTH teen mean tae "turnouts;" a it would be singular if the pavement expressly laid to drive ovir should be considered a6 an ob struction. as ins law Is constitutional, the only remaining S.'.'0" are " lo ti legullty of tueord str7i 1 Co.nract.

I do not think tbe twentieth section of the act of April 81, 155 (P. L, Sili), nor the twenty. slx'h eec'lrn of the act of the 1.1th May, lri!l (P. L., 673), have any bearing on this case, and the fourth sec'lon of the net ol IKlfi gives ample power to Councils "to enact all ordinances or resolutions necessary and proper for the carrying Into effect iue requirements, provisions, and purposes of this act," covering everything that has been done by them In this matter. The ordinance provides that In Broad street, be. ?.'5-SrCBrU the Nlcolson navement. In annnninnna n-irh llcations prepared by the Chief Engineer and Sur veyor, and to his sntislaction and approval. The cost of said paving, exclusive of the street inter sections, shall be paid by the owners of property abutting npon said street, as directed in section one of ictol Aseembly aforesaid," the contractors to take in pay for the paving of the intersections the cobble stones replaced by the Mcolson pavement. This is in strict accordance with the act. The second section directs the Deportment of High ways to enter into a contract with the only persons .y.ru iu lay hub pavement, "provided the cost of said work, including the grading, materials and workmanship, shall notexceed thesnm nt f,mr dollars tbe square yard," the contractor to keep It ... - v. . niuri ivi ,ll J r C nil B.

In all this I tee nothing done by Council, or 1 I'gruiB, t-xcreumg tne powers clearly vested u n.iiu, uiiu j. must tuereiorereiusetue injunction aked lor. I have not thought it necessarv. havimr nnim fn this conclusion on the meritn, to consider the effant of tbe act of 8th of April, 1MU, and the case In 12 Wright, 4j!, in prohibiting an Injunction in this I must, however, be permitted to sav that the rAi objection opprars to be not the unconstitutionality ol the law, or tbe Illegality of tha ordinance or the contract, but tbe expense which the property owners ranst necessarily incur. These owners, startled by the attempt to run a steam paiEenger railway down Broad to Oreen in front of their property, procured by the Interven tion ot Connciis the passage of this act. They did not wish the dnst of a macdamized drive in the centre, and this resulted in the present ordinance and contract, after a fair and satisfactory trial on uur equore ui iub Eireet. The aefeatof the Central Passenger I? ail way and lhe passage ot this act, securing in three vears an uninterrupted streetor avenue of eleven anda half miles in lengtn, raised tbe value of all the ground fronting on this portion of the street. Were the owners to pay nothing for this, and the uiiiuime removal 01 ine railroad nuisance from Willow to Prime street f The payment is the im provement now complained of; und I think after the legislative favor, granted at their earnest re quest, It is a small return for the preseut and fu ture benefits which they undoubtedly have and Will receive. Large owners of property on this portion of o'unu sireei nave anven away improvements by refusing to improve or sell. A strong Instance Is found In the beautiful rows of buildings on west Green street, which begin not at Broad street, bnt a equate west 01 11. Individuals stopping public Improvements have no right to complain when they are assessed for meir Bunre 01 tne cost of rendering the streets in front of them of greater value to tbe community, ouu ,u lunutiiruijuri wlo uave covered their lota With valuable and beautiful dwellinirn. I am fully convinced it is the real interest of ineEe piainiins mat the INicolson imvnmenr. ouuuiu do iiuu ns soon as possible.
