Must Pay for Property.
Portland, Jul 10. To the Editor of
The Journal Please answer the follow
ing question, as lt is of vital Importance:
Can a county court grant a road through
a man's property and not allow dam
ages? , r ' v
I cits a case in the town of Ballston.
where the survey cuts Into a property
fully 20 feet along Its frontage, thereby
causing removal of tbe dwellings. Four
parties are damaged, and nothing Is al
lowed by the viewers. The survey also
cuts off 20 feet of the railroad com
pany's property, which adjoins the lots.
The land was given the company, open
always to those interested, adjoining.
The ' company can better afford to do
nate the !nd than can the persons who
bought the lots for homes and to help
build up the place. It looks as lt the
courts were catering 'to the railroad,
rather' than deal out Justice to the poor
property owners. ' , ,
As I have always understood the road
law, damages are always allowed. In
this instance nothing has been said'
about such appropriation of an owner's
rights. .,,u. . . , , 1
As I understand the case, the road
benefits only one person, and that per
aon'loses no land at all.. Moreover, he
already has an open road to the county

A decision handed down by the appel
late division of tha supreme court yes
terday helps to give substance i to the ,
idea that It Is the duty of directors to
direct and that in certain circumstances
they can be held liable for failure to
perform that duty, 1 . V. '
The case Involved Is less interesting '
than the principle' laid down, 'The plain-
tiff .had been Induced to bty stock in
a' corporation which a' few months laler
went into bankruptcy.'. The action was"
brought against one of the directors. 'a
wealthy man, on the theory that he,
knowing the- weak condition of the con
cern, had allowed the use of his' name
and financial prestige to facilitate sale -
of the stock, at the same time assum
ing none of the obligations of .'his io- ,
'Sltion. It was alleged that the director
either knew that tbe slock was sold on
false representations or that lt was his '
duty to find out what was' going on.

to- existing stockholders, but as well to
those from whom the corporation may
solicit subscriptions for Its stock or se
curities, and that they ara in that be- -
half bound to use some degree of both .
diligence and. care in the performance of
such duties as pertain to tbelr office
and are liable for .negligence in falling
to do so." The court adds that this Is
"a proposition too well established to '
be now open to dispute." Certain buy
ers of St Louis and Ban Francisco
bonds will probably , read this state
ment with surprise, and not a few di
rectors are likely to be admonished by '
it to find out about things-tor which";
they may b held accountable.

In stocks, the law has steadily grown
more explicit and has registered the so
cial demand for a stricter personal pe
cuniary accountability. May not law

In all probability ere 'the American
publlo passes out of its present mood
It will tone up standards of directorial
responsibility, in which process ' It will
get help from the courts,, after the Mian,
ner of a decision Just rendered bv the
supreme Judiciary of . New :Tork state.
A director of a corporation being sued
by a stockholder for losses Incurred, as
be claimed, through the negligence of
the director and his failure to direct
has recovered damages. Justice Hotch-'
kiss,' speaking for the court, says that
tha general principle involved in the
court'sdecilon Is too well established-
to be Open to dispute. He adds, "What
Is due diligence and care varies with the
circumstance's of eeoh case but
that directors are bound to use a rea
sonable degree of care in the perform
ance of acts, Which under the circum
stances prudence would fairly seem to
require them to peiform, is a lenient
statement of the rule of law
When one voluntarily takes, the position '
of trustee and director of a corporation,
good faith, exact Justice and publlo
policy unite tn requiring ef him such a
degree of are and prudence, and it
would be a gross breach of duty not to
bestow them."
