As for the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
Railroad, it claims right of way in Clark street
under grant Of many years ago. It's tracks
nov lie on the west side Of the street, and # the
wall was built bF the Chicago, Rock Island d
Pacific Railroad and the tracks removed, the
Michigan Southern would have no way to enter
the city. 1t might BY paying enough money
get right Of way over the land owned by the
Chicago, Rock Island & Pacifie, but it is unwill
ing to pay that "cnough." Consequently it
asks that the Council grant space Of twenty
eight feet for the use OF the two railroads in
question bastng their request upon
the statement that the road has
granted right OF way in the street.
Some OF the aforesaid property-owncrs
deny that the road has any such right, and say
that they do not want twenty-cight fectpf the
street taken up. There are great many legal
complications that might arise. The Commit
tee seemed inclined to think that It would be
best to, grant the rwenty-efght feet, but the
property y2owners fight it. The Committee final
" postponed the matter for two weeks, aud
meanwhile will try, and satisfy themselves upon
the question Of the Michigan Southern Rail-
roads right to the street. The question of
granting twenty-ejght feet was proposed to the
two railroad lawyers, a1d they said that they
would request the Superintendents Of the re-
spective roads to meet and see how they could
agree In case such grant was made. They will
report at the next meeting OF the Committee.
