THE n. 4 o. EXTENSION.

to His Position In the Case.

TO His Position In the Case.
Some curiosity has recently been expressed
as to the status OF the Hempneld extension
through the city rs link in a proposed new
through line OF the D. 4 20. road since the
B. 4 o. Company, by vote OF It's Directors,
rejected the ordinance granting them the
right Of way through the city. Apparently
that ended oil negotiations, as nothing has
since been heard OF the matter. A reporter O
few days ago heard an intlmation that the
Whitaker Iron Company was not instrument.
tai In putting into tue ordinance the clause
upon which the fate OF the ordinance Is sup.
posed To have heen mainly decided, namely,
that requiring tho b. & D. Company TO oh.
tain the consent Of the said Iron Company
before raising the grade Of Twentieth street;
and thinking the truth Of the matter would
be interesting even little late, called
upon Mi. N. i, Whitaker yesterday
and inquired concerning tho facts
in the case. Mr.. Whitaker said that the
company had not asked that such clause he
inserted, and never knew that II had been
until the ordinance was published and dis.
cussed In the city press, So far as he knew
there was no disposition 10 Obstruct the pas.

case pending In court between theWhlttakers
and the Baltimore company, he says, is con.
corning q contract for the re.rolllng Of some

manifested or felt tomake the iron Company's
consent to the passage Of the road contingent
