Yesterday for some Information about tho rail-
roaj2 contest FOR right OF way to SOUTH Chicago
The first question asked Mr.. Dore was why lid
mt the pTuperty-owncrs Of Hyde Park grant
the desired rights of way to both the railroads
asking for them? Mr.. Dorc replied:
With the perly-owi,ers aong the desired
right Of way it is question Of benefits and
damages. 4 railway for one purpose may ma
teriully cutiauct the value uf property along its
line. while q railway tor another prr-
pose would prove very injurious if not
rui,,ous. Property-owncrs near the pro-
poscd lines -rauteu right Of way to
the baltimore Il Ohio Read under the deusion
thai promises 1oade would be fulfilled. Saying
nothing about the deception pructicced, every
one in the south part of Hyde Park knows that
the road has been nuisance to those who t,ay..
the right Of way, and no benefits whatever.
Thc tracks have been used maiuly for freight
trains aud tnr storing empty cars. So you SEQ
proreEtJ J-oFucrS it. thur section have been
forced to the conclusion that freight railways
are injurious aud not beneficial TO subur-
ban property. As for granting right
