(70 ILCS 1230/1-a) (from Ch. 105, par. 93)
Sec. 1-a.
The fact that any individual, corporation, or other person shall
be made a party defendant to any such condemnation proceedings hereby
authorized, shall not establish any presumption as to the validity or the
extent of the title of such defendant, but before damages shall be assessed
to any such defendant, the court shall first find and adjudge the right,
title, and interest of such defendant in the property sought to be taken or
damaged, and through such condemnation proceedings the said board of park
commissioners shall acquire whatever right, title, interest or claim such
defendant may have.
