I'ropertr Onsrrs < ould Enjoin Ihe f hange. The project of Alderman Dixon for the opening of Abercorn and Barnard street.-*, (.trough some or sli of the squarre around which they pass, continues the subject of constant discussion The opposition to tne project Is pron*>unce*l. und certainly wd) not be erwWl even If the grants the re*iulred authority arxl Coun cil the ordinance In question. A prominent member of tlie Savannah bar liscus.-x‘l the question yesterday with i manifest and expr*--s*d Indignation, de claring that th accomplishm*nt of the project would do the city an irreparable Injury. He said further that the Iy*gisla- j tura could not give the city authority to j destroy the symmetry and beauty of the j square und tn.it any owner of property, which abuttal on the squares, might **h tain an injunction against the change. "It's a crying shame that such * plan , Is even contemplated." said the lawyer. "Thare are title* everywhere that would j give almost any amount of money for j the square* that ornamen. and benefit Huvannah. and that their beauty should lx* destroyed, to serve a purpose purely utilitarian, aid Ihe a- ompiishm* nt of this pur|ose even la not guaranteed or j lik< ;y to follow, is an out rag* The plan ought lo be opposed by every good tdti sen. "It H sold that even after the streets nr*- opened the area of gra*** will !••• .is larg* a.** is th* ' *.*-e now.

"Iti further support of Ah** plan it Is contended that th? change would Increase the value of the trust lots. This Is another fallacy, founded only on mere a.-senlon. How the v.Uu- of a lot can lx* Increased by taking away the approach to Its front, passes the imagination of th*- ordinary individual I>xk at Wesley Monumental Church, for Instance, or Trinity Church. If tho streets intersecting the squares were dosed, as Is contemplated, Ah*- car riages for a wedding or a funeml could not again approach the doors of either o( th*se edifices and constant Inconvenience would lx* the result. Take the case of the Telfair Academy of Art- nnd 8 xnres and a similar state of affairs would U produced. Look at the residences* on the trust lota and consider th Inconvenience •o those who live in them. "And even if it were true, which |t isn't tmt the value of trust lot property would )e improve*! by the change, what rlgiil has the city to permit such an argum-nt to control Its action? The squares are the common property of all the people, and no more belong to trust lot owners than they W> to the owner of any other piece of land within the corporate limits Council has no right to advance the In terests of on** set of proper t> owners at the expense of the people generally. “The city squiires are th*- distinguishing characteristic of Savannah's beauty, and they should he retained as they are. It Is a pity that the square system was n*u followed in opening streets in the south ern section. “Moreover," aald (hr lawyer, "even If the legislature gives Council the right to make the change aqd open sirects through the squares and even If Council should make us** of the authority so granted. It would not serve to accomplish •he intended purpose. Any owner of prop erty affected by the change could obtain an injunction against it and the highest courts of th** land. In my opinion, would sustain the Injunction's validity and make It permanent. Clearly to take away from a man tlx* right to drive up to the door of his own house is taking or damaging his property without du* process of law, und the constitution of the state and of the United State* alike forbl 1 tt. With all deferem*© to A Herman Dixon nnd to Council, they will have to obtain a chang** of sentiment, as well n* a change in the law. before they will lw In n posi tion success fully lo accomplish the de struction of the squares' beauty." These expressions of opinion are typical of those constantly used by th*- opponents of the proJt**t to open streets through the squares It Is undoubtedly true that the opposition to the project is very strong and that those who ore In opposition now will fight out the fight to the lust ditch. HBV. C\ H. *TRtNa*S A IKAV*. The Laws of Clod, Not the Consent of the (ioirrnnl, the H** of Just Government. At 8t John's Church yesterday morn ing. Rev. Charles H Strong discussed the "Freedom of Truth." from the text "Ye shall know the truth am) the truth shall you free." Rev. Mr. Htrong discussed the religious - knowing the truth in Christ, and upheld t It ns the only moral panacea In this j oiw>ect)on he alluded to the numerous I <toctrtnarles and theorists, who .ire now j going through the country, advocating • \urt.mi* doctrines and theories as neces sary to the happiness of the people or sure remedies for all national Ills. Among the various fallacies now being revived, he said. Is the one that •'All Just govern ment depeixix upon the consent of the governed.'' The fulki. v of this was evi dent. he said, when it wae considered that In all governments depending upon the consent of th*' governed this consent *s decided by a majority, and the rule of the majority Is often neither wise nor Just. It will hardly lx contended that , the rule of New York t*lty by Tammany j Is a just rule, or that the government of Pennsylvania, controlled by t * boss, is a Just one. Just government. Rev.
