| Show THE BLOCKS timely anil U all article from julge Mill iaus Is the making of now streets by bisecting bi ho blocks either practicable or profitable it takes but a view of the map of oden to determine aliis for whether to be bisected bi by running either kast and west or north and south the same obstructions and difficulties appear tho main difficulties grow out of the manner of dividing the blocks into lota for nearly every alternate block is reversed in the laying out of alie lots in one half the blocks the iota are twenty rods north and south by firlit rods east and nest whilst the oilier half is the reverse this may be demonstrated by the respective tiers immediately east and west of main street bekin ning on second between main and young streets running south the three blocks are laid off in lots roda east and west these could lie bisected bi by a street four rods hide and leave eighteen rods on either side which wonlu each lot a front of eight rods on the now street and so of the block south of union square or tho one between sixth and seventh street but in alie next or the one between seventh and eighth street slots are reduced the long way being north and south so this new street would simply lots 8 and bof block 14 leading a strip two rods wide and twenty long on either side of the street and riving no new front to the other lots in said flock hut this evil Is greatly increased on the tier of blocks baet of main street for beginning beg ining on bark street the first or block 54 the long way of alie lota are parallel with the street or north and south so lots 8 and 3 would be cut open the long way leaving two rod on either side of the new street ani giving no new front to the other lots going the next or block 45 the lots lay twenty rods east and and each lot would get a anew front of 8 rods but the next or block 40 would get lots 8 and 3 cut open like block 54 and so on alternately to street and this the gli the entire city with but few exceptions if there were no other objections this is sufficient to dismiss any further consideration by the council of aliis eliut tho iagal rule is now anost authoritatively that in condemnation dem nation by publia authority aut bority the land condemned to paid for and only collateral advantages and disadvantages can be off beet in other words the proprietor inget be paid in money for liis land and alien and bayoud alie actuel value of the land appropriated can be estimated and if i equal injuries they are equivalents bot no excess of benefits can discount tho if there were no buildings in hie nay of iliew new still the payment for the land would be to defeat any coercion measures fur when damasca to the lots so cut open from one end to the other anil the destruction to building jonm he die entire revenue of the city would be inadequate this value of alie land and damage could not 10 raised by local taxation for alno law it even were it granted eliat tho legislature of alio territory or congress could BO en ait but which is disputed lien theeo have to be established at alie expense of alie cily and mr neither the owners of the cut open lots nor others owning property in the some blocks and who could da rive no eart lily would be will ing to be taxed for the benefit of their more fortunate neighbors and flieth ei these proposed new streets run tha one way or the other the same state of affairs are met with even many of the lot holders aliat would gain new fronts would find their dael linga and other improvements BO interfered with as to arouse and many abo would not ba injured bat benefited would object to being so beavly taxed and others would acorn to accept a benefit at the expense of their neighbors w alst the injured and not bene cited would be exceedingly hostile to any such proceedings an it is wholly impracticable lu make new streets from boundary to boundary of our city and as each block haa its own peculiarities w as dom would edem to dictate that the owners of the beveral blocks be allowed allow td to respond I 1 their own interest in bi section their block and which would lead to hort streets many of the block but komu would be cast and neat and some north and bantli as now ia the caso whatever might havo been diee biad the pion cera alie great growth of tho city it fa now past all remedy by alio city fAt liers for private interest and
