part Of the expense.
Making our way down the slippery stairs with much
difficulty we found the lower cabin dark foul wet

day a rate not exceeding cents for each passage

These conditions all right, but are in favor Of

Ia striking evidence of the tenscly Of human stu
pldty, this opposition of people who ought TO know
better to Railroads in City Streets Here We have had
the Harlem Railroad running through several OF our
crowded streets for years aud who is harmed by
IN Whose property the line it treverses 4. dimn
ished in value For our part we consider house or
lot on the line of that road richly worth ten per cent
more than IL would be if the road we're stopped At

every part of City penetrated by railroads so
that nearly every citizen msy take car within two
blocks Of his store shop and be swiftly carried out
