ORDERS THE FENCES DOWN
Judge Scott Hands Down Ealing on Con
troTerj at Lake Manawa.
BOARD HAS NO RIGHT TO VACATE ROAD
.Motor Company Indicates It Will Skat
Dot the Complainants by Erect
ing Fences In Other
riaces.
The motor company will be compelled
to take down the tents which It constructed
across Third street at Manawa when en
closing Shady grove with tbe balance of
the resort. It will have to keep tbls
thoroughfare clear of obstructions from Its
Intersection with Park avenue to the lake
front and will also have to remove all
obstructions It may now have on Park
avenue. Further, the company is forever
enjoined from fencing In or obstructing
either of these public highways.
This was In substance the ruling of Judge
Scott of the superior court handed down
yesterday In the proceedings brought by
Cbrlsman & Robards, property owners at
Manawa, to restrain the motor company
from fencing In certain alleged public thor
oughfares and enclosing them as part of
the grounds of Its resort at the lake.
Judge Scott held that the value of the
plaintiffs' property In Manawa consisted
partly In its proximity to the lake and de
pended more or less upon Its access thereto.
The plaintiffs contended that after the
dedication of the plat of Manawa and
streets therein, giving access to the lake,
subsequent owners of portions of the plat
could not vacate the thoroughfares so as
to deprive the remaining owners of the
plat of access t& the lake, and Judge 8cott
In his ruling sustained this contention.
Regarding this phase of the dispute
Judge Scott In his opinion said:
Synopsis of Opinion.
That the principal object and purpose In
platting said ground was to place the same
upon the market and dispose of the lots for
use and occupancy as a summer resort, by
reason of Its accessibility to Lake Manawa,
and this fact, among others, led the plain
tiffs herein to possess or acquire property
rights In said plat. That their, accessibility
to the lake front by reason of the streets
of said plat was an Inducement and con
sideration In acquiring their property In
terests there. That among other streets
so platted was Third street, which from
Its point of intersection with Park avenue
on the north and for a width of sixty feet,
extending to the lake front on the south,
was for a period of more than ten years
prior to the obstructing of the same by the
defendants herein, used and maintained as
a regularly traveled thoroughfare and
street In gaining access to the lake front,
where for a time a temporary dock was In
place. That the public generally used this
street as a part of the highway in travel
ing to and beyond I-ake Manawa, the same
being a part of the publio highway or
county road a& well as being a street of
Manawa park, and while the Board of
Supervisors might have authority and
might legally change or vacate said part
of the public highway as to the general
traveling public It had no right or au
thority, and did not legally vacate the same
as a part of the plat of Manawa park and
could not deny to the property holders. In
cluding the plaintiffs herein, access ana use
to said street for the purpose to which it
was formerly dedicated.
To Open Park Avenne.
Referring to Park, avepue Judge Scott
held "that Park avenue, from the point of
Intersection on the west with the county
road and its Intersection on the east at
Second street with the county road, is ma
terial and necessary to the property own
ers along Third street to gain access to the
public highway and should not be closed or
obstructed by the defendants herein."
Third street is the street along which the
motor company last year had. its tracks and
from which it bad Its main entrance to the
resort. It ran between She resort proper
snd Shady grove on tbe east. This year the
motor company, commencing at the north
Ide of Shady grove, enclosed the road when
making the grove part of the resort, snd
thus shutting out tbe owners of lots on the
street from access to the lake. Park ave
nue Is the thoroughfare running east and
west and directly north of the company's
grounds where it laid its track , this year
and made its entrance Into the resort.
The plaintiffs asked that Portland ave
nue also be opened, but Judge Scott denied
this on the grounds "that tbe. same could
be only used by the plaintiffs and the pub
lic in gaining access to the property of the
defendant company and would only result In
damaging the public enterprise which the
defendant company has undertaken to es
tablish."
Most Comply with Order.
Judge Scott also holds that about 200
feet of the old public highway fronting on
Lake Manawa running east from the foot
of Third street had never been legally va
cated, but that in Us present condition
without an outlet would be of no material
benefit to either the publio or the plain
tiffs.
The order of the court gives the motor
company until July 1 to comply with its
mandate and remove the fence and other
obstructions. Since enclosing the portion
of Third street the motor company has
planted a row of trees down the middle of
the thoroughfare and under the order of
the court these will have to be removed.
The attorneys for the motor company
stated yesterday that aa appeal would be
taken to the supreme court, but this will
not operate to prevent them from comply
ing with the order to remove the obstruc
tions by the date set. The order cannot be
delayed by supersedeas proceedings.
The attorneys tor the motor company as
sert that their tracks north of the resort
are on private ground and not on Park ave
nue and that they will erect a fence on
each side of Third street from Portland
avenue to the lake front and a fencs along
the lake front, so that the complaining
property owners will not be much better
off than they were before.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs state that
In the event of the motor company appeal
ing tbey will also file a cross-appeal, so far
as the other streets which were hot in
cluded in Judge Scott's order are con
cerned. All Are Iavltod.
The Retail Grocers' association extends
