For more than 15 years, the City has been in doubt about the easement through City property granted to private property owners at the northwest corner of 38th and Illinois Sts. The Park Department owns a 25-foot strip of land which runs back 130 feet from the intersection. On the theory they had access to the strip, private firms have been using it for years. Yesterday, the Paark Board ordered the present tenant of the corner property—the Haag Drug Co.—to vacate the City-owned strip. The Board held that a grant of private easement rights to the land had never * been officially approved at|sive.
