peril. Section 574, Eev. Laws 1910, 

 provides: 'The council may enact ordi- 

 nances for the purpose of planting, 

 maintaining and protecting shade trees 

 in the streets and avenues, whenever 

 the same is petitioned for in the man- 

 ner provided for in this chapter, for 

 petitioning for sidewalks, and for the 



Eurpose of paying for the same shall 

 ave power to make assessments and 

 collect the tax in the same manner as 

 is provided by this chapter for assess- 

 ing and collecting taxes for sidewalks. ' 

 "It thus clearly appears that the ex- 

 pense of planting shade trees in the 

 streets and avenues must be paid by 

 the owners of the property in the same 

 manner that the expenses of sidewalks 

 are provided for — payment by the in- 

 dividual owner and not by the munici- 

 pality. 



"The petition does not aver that the 

 necessary petition to authorize the 

 council to enact ordinances for the pur- 

 pose was filed or that ordinances were 

 enaxjted under this section of the statute 

 for the purpose of planting the trees 

 in question. If the required petition 

 had been filed, and the necessary ordi- 

 nances passed, the council was without 

 legal authority to bind the municipality 

 to pay for any part of said trees, as is 

 provided in the contract sued upon. 

 The contract is void and does not im- 

 pose any liability on the municipality. ' '

CHICAGO NOTES. 



[Continued from page 33.] 

 C. L. Washburn was called up on long- 

 distance phone at his home in Hinsdale 

 and informed that a certain retailer 

 must have 2,000 roses at once, to be 

 used in funeral work to be delivered by 

 9 o'clock the next morning, Mr. Wash- 

 burn called up one of his store force, 

 Joseph Einwick, who rolled out of bed 

 and went down to the store of Bassett 

 & Washburn to get out the order. So 

 far everything was fine, but next morn- 

 ing when Ernest Anderson opened the 

 place he found that vases had been 

 moved and that stock was missing. He 

 at once got the janitor and together 

 they called a policeman. The three 

 were about to start a burglar hunt 

 when Joe showed up with explanations. 



A new automobile will be added to 

 the delivery service of Joseph Ziska & 

 Sons this week, according to Eaymond 

 Ziska, who is in charge of that end of 

 the business. 



With spring not far away and the 

 odor of the great outdoors in the air,
