(70 ILCS 1535/1) (from Ch. 105, par. 333.44)
Sec. 1.
The Chicago Park District is authorized to permit the laying of
tracks and the operation of electric surface car lines by electric surface
car companies or public authorities through any park or parks under control
of said district for the purpose of connecting with electric surface car
lines outside of said park or parks: Provided, however, that such tracks
may be laid only through such parks on a highway which heretofore has been
in use as a highway for general traffic purposes and is sufficient in width
to accommodate street cars, vehicles and pedestrians using the highway at
the same time; and provided further, that such use shall be for the sole
purpose of connecting existing facilities necessary for the good of the
public service.
