Edwards last week offered a plan ‘of condemnaâ€" tion of lake properties and purchase by the state as the only solution to the recurring difficulties of owners of property surrounding the small lakes in Lake county, according to the Libertyville Independent, which conâ€" tinues: g f Fox Lake: Movement > "While Judge Edwards declined to make any predictions as .to the outâ€" come of the petition~fer injunction in the Lake Zurich case, he said that as far as heâ€"has been â€"ableâ€"toâ€"deterâ€" mine, Fox lake is the only lake in the esunty which is government propérty, having been meandered in the United States geological survey and is thereâ€" fere held by the state.for the people of the state. > | : Attorney Arthur Bulkley pointed out that the one Supreme court de= cision on such controversies is the‘ Wilton vs. Van Hesser case, appealed from tre Cinbuit court of Lake, county in‘ 1911 â€"in which the cireuit â€"eourt decision was reversed and the deciâ€" ston was rendered. that the dake in question, Fourth like, was not naviâ€" gable; had not been meandered in the: U. S. survey, ard was therefore diâ€" vided by meets and bounds along the section lines of the land survey and was the private property of the per= sons holding title to the land and that they owned the lake as well as the land. o * Basis of Suits it ue The Wilton case has been the basis for all suits of a like nature that folâ€" lowed and unless the owners of propâ€" erty around Lake Zurich can prove that it is navigable for commercial uses, or has been meandered by the government survey, it is believed that the grants held by August Froelich and ~Marguerite Pearce would be valid and that they would be in a position to bar outsiders from the Izske and charge the sums set up by them for the use of the lake. It is also believed that despite Carlstrom‘s opinion, theâ€" Diamond lake residents may lose in court action unless they appeal to the Supreme court and a decision reversing the Wilton vs. Van Hoesser case is returned. It is reported that none of the lakes in Lake county, with the sinâ€" gle exception of Fox lake, are meanâ€" dered and if this is true, cottage owners on any of the 52 lakes of the county may be barred from using the lakes unless they own the propâ€" erty on which the lake lies. ‘Fhe owner of the property apparently would be able, at any time, to bar the ‘cottage owners from using the lake. * â€" S * Suggests State Purchase Since the original case in the Illiâ€" nois Supreme court was started in Lake county and since the same trouble may occur time and time again, Judge Edwards suggests that in ~cases where private owners hold title to lakes, the state should conâ€" demn the property on which the lake lies and purchase the lakes makâ€" ing them available for use by the peoâ€" ple of the state. In that case, the lakes would become public property and anyone would be permitted to use any and all parts of the lakes which would eliminate private beaches in front of the summer homes of pceople who own to the shore line. .In order to uphold an injunction against barring the people to the lake, the complainants must show that the lake is either navigable in law or in fact. If the lake is meanâ€" dered by the U. S. survey, it is navigâ€" able at law and if it is used for commercial transportation, it is navâ€" isable in fact. * ~ Flea Doctor " _3 $ Lincoln,.
