Art. IV., Sec. 13. “The provisions in this Act contained authorizing the city to acquire the absolute title in fee simple to lands in or over which the city is authorized to acquire easements or rights, shall be subject to the provision that any lands so taken for such purpose shall, unless appropriated to some public use within ten (10) years after acquisition of the title thereto, be sold and disposed of by the city in the manner now or hereafter provided by statute for the sale and conveyance of property no longer required for the use of the city, subject, however, to such easements or rights in said lands, and to such conditions, covenants and restrictions respecting the use or improvement thereof as the city, upon recommendation of the board of park commissioners, shall, in the deed of conveyance, impose or reserve, and subject further to the power (which is hereby granted) of the city council, with the consent of the board of park commissioners, to release, waive or (by or with the consent of the grantee or owner of the conveyed premises) alter any such easements rights, conditions, covenants or restrictions.” [89] House Bill No. 293, introduced at Springfield, March 11, 1909, seeks to make the assessed value one-third, instead of one-fifth, of the full value.

[92] House Bill No. 293, Illinois, 1909, already mentioned, would, if enacted into a law, give the city power to issue bonds for its share of the cost of the north and west connecting boulevards, or for a beginning on the Civic Center. The other necessities of the city would, however, exhaust most of the increased bonding power provided by this bill. [93] See Chapter VIII.
