park M uns'gbtly Place, ont OF keeping with the
Character Of the grounds, the Park Com
missiouer1 would unaoub:odly bo justified 10
entertaining the propositions of tho Railroad
! COMPANY. But the Increased accessibility OF the

The proposed route Of tho rairo.d is from tho
south boundary Of the park, At point half
mile vest Of its southwest corner. nor.hTes:ward
to Junction Wit: the Illinois Central At S1tioth
street. THIS would be distance OF Ittlo over

sink their track ns much possible. 80 that vim
Ducts over the track should nit DO too ateep,
and would improve the borders Of the track with

seem 10 be no good reason why tho Commission
ern might not give the tight OF way. for money
consideration equal to tho p.ico per acre which
wa1 paid for the land When the Commissioners
bought it for park, These, however, would be
the most moderate terms on which the Railroad
could expect 70 get through the park at ali. It
should be kept in mind that the ra1k was dedi-
Gated Tor public pleasure ground, and that tho
