The cllyol Cairo is orgaui.ed under the gcnerol Incorporation act of 1S7J, miller which the legislature fully delega ted It with power to act hi this matter of granting the right ol way to steam rail roads, and which it Is bound to follow hi It- direction.

Want of time absolutely I'otbld any thing like nu elaborate eou-ldcratiou of tlicquc-tlou. 'file view, however, which I taku of the matter renders till uiiucfiary. It may be premised hi the Ilist place that the city council can e.ercle no power or liiucllons except such a are e.iiresj conlerrcd upon It hy the legislature or ,ueli Implied power as are necessary to the eercl-e of Hio-o which are expressly coulericd. And it may further lie oh- .-itwI that municipal corporations are at all limes absolutely siili-cr lent to the legidalive will, except so far a untrained by coiistllutinnal lliullallou-i. These general principles, about which there can be no controversy, being conceded, we very naturally, la Hie llrst place turn our eyes lo the statutes of the State for a satisfactory solution of the question. The ninetieth paragraph of seellnu 01, chapter 'J I, of the Itevl-cd Statute, reads asiollows: The cily council or board of tiu-lees shall have no power to grant I be use of or light lo lay down any rail road (racks In anv street ol'llieclly lo uuyMcatn or horse railroad company, ex cept upon a petition nt Ihe owners ot Ihe laud lepre.-eutiiig moie than one half of Ihe 1-onlago ol the Hlicct, or o much thereof as is Foi.lit to be u-cil for tall road puipo-c.s." Tills Is the only statu tory pi oMon hearing directly upon the uiaiiiier ol cscrclsiiiL' the tight to make such a grant that I am awaie of, and hi my pidn incut II Is conclusive of the que. Hon. I take It as well sell led law, without citing authorities to supiiou the proposition, that whenever a st'itniory nuht or nuwer Is ciin lot i cil, and I lie mode of ecrellug Mich right or iiowitI nreciilicd by the statute, it cannot he cM'rclt,d lu any other manner. I run coutldcut that no well Informed lawjer will ills-cut from llils nrono-iilou. and that no resoeclalile authority can befoimd In conilicl. with It. raw ii!r in s L'cncr.u luinc in e n connce- Hon with the ccllnu of the staliile above cited, il seems to follow as a legal and lii'Meal fcmioncc, tuai iiclnre the council could make any such grant the owners of Ihe in lid .ifl ii c-cnti nir mnrothan one-half ol Ihe froniage of Ihe street, would huye lo nrc-ent to the city council a nellllnu. iiklng that such grain, be made, lu my hu ''incut the iicllllou lu all such cares Is a lurl-dicilonal condition, ab-oliitely nee esary In put the founcll lu motion, and Willi. nit which the action of the council would be nIuiiiIv null and void. Art well might Hie cmml) coiiit attempt to lay out a new road, or proceed to order the sale ol a man's eslale w ithout Ihe peti tion icqiilrcd bv Hit) statute being lli'.-t llleil, Wilhoilt Ihe pclllloli lu such cae Hie act of thecoillt Would be cociwi na ,ic(iiv. ami, theiclore, hindlng upon no one, Au ntlcmiit nu the part of Iho coun cil lo make such a grant could hut result in complication highly detrlmealiil to Hie bed Interest of the city, I have been told, however, thai It has been suggested (hat the abo e pr n'Nnii ot ihc statute noes not apply to Ihe street lu quest Ion, for the reason that the laud abutting Upon the street has not been Dialled and laid out Into lot. Thl might be (rue if ine siaiuic said so, uut I lead ihe prow Aloii hi vain to lin.l Mich a quallllcallon. The term lots, or lot, uller (he most care ful reading, raiinnt be found ; hut the wood land we llml. mnl ten omit hil.o li hi lis ordinary acceptation, unless (here is some imperative reason lor atlachlng to It a dlll'erent meaning. The statute N clear, plain and explicit, leaving no room for construction. We niii-t nuine that Ihe legislator knew what they were do ing, and the force and value of the term used by them lu adopting thl provision of the statute, and to say that they meant lots Instead ot laud hi Its ordinary slgnl licatlon, would he Imputing to them a very hlghdegreeof Ignorance ofthc value of word. To say that tlieprovIlon was not intended to apply to such portions of a cily as were not regularly platted, would he to incorporate Into It a provi sion not found there, which Is not war ranted byanyol the rule ol construction known lo the; law. lu my Judgment there I no room for construction, ami tr Incorporate such a provision into the act would be doing inatiKe.t violence lo Ihe legl-latlve will.
