Plaintiff owns the following squares in this city: No. 532, bounded by Cambronne, Edinburg, and Joliet streets and the right of way of the Illinois Central Railroad; No. 553, bounded by Edinburg, Joliet, Palm, and Leonidas streets; No. 570, bounded by Pahn, Joliet, Stroelitz, and Leonidas; No. 575, bounded by Palm, Leonidas, Stroelitz, and Monrose; No. 574, bounded by Palm, Monrose, Stroelitz, and Eagle; No. 575, bounded by Stroelitz, Eagle, Palmetto, and Monrose; and No. 594, bounded by Stroelitz, Leonidas, Monroe, and Palmetto. The streets here named exist as yet in that part of the city only on paper; the land being used for pasturage. Three of these streets lead directly from plaintiff’s squares to Carrollton avenue, on which is a street car line, and which affords the only access to plaintiff’s squares, since the distance to the built up part of the city is too great in any other direction. These three streets thus leading to Carroll-ton avenue are Stroelitz, Palm, and Edinburg. They are obstructed or closed by the sawmill plant of the defendant company, which occupies squares 590, 591, 582, 577, 578, 579, 552, 551, and 550, including the parts of streets between these squares and part of Joliet and Leonidas. The object of the present suit is to compel the defendant company to remove the obstructions thus placed by it on said streets.
The access thus afforded is roundabout, and lengthens considerably the distance between
The judgment appealed from is amended so as to strike therefrom the following:
“(3) Dixon street from Carrollton avenue to Monrose street; * * * (5) Dublin street from the I. C. R. R. to Palmetto street; (C) Dante street from the I. C. R. R. to Palmetto street; (7) Cambronne street from the I. C. R. R. to Palmetto street"
—which streets were ordered opened by the judgment appealed from; and that said judgment be further amended by allowing two months from the date on which the present judgment shall become final for the removal of the obstructions in question and that, as thus amended, it be affirmed; defendant to pay the costs of the lower court and plaintiff those of this appeal.
