The cry that the Cairo and ST. Louis
railroad company has been enjoyned from
running their track into this city will
not do. There is an injunction prevent
ing the company from laying their track
on New Leyee street, but that
does not prevent them from
running their track into the city.
There is strip Of ground between new
Levee street and the Mississippi river,
nearly, or perhaps quite, four hundred
feet wide, and the company can run their
track anywhere they choose over this
strip And above and beyond the old
cross leyee there Is room enough TOR
hall a dozen or dozen railroads, and
If the Cairo and st. Louis
company desire the right OF way over it

in legal way. This ground is private
property, and because the parties owing
it will not permit the company to take
possession OF it without pay, the compa-
ny claim that they are prevented from
running their track into the city. This
is the whole story in nut shell. The
Cairo and ST. Louis railroad compony
can haYe all the ground they want they
are willing to obtain It in the proper way.
