day, when work on Tho Grove street
section Will be commenced, It Is calculated
TINT this section can bo cumptetGd within ton
ttnys, whan the Western 1ldful,a will liavg
its own tracks I'LL the way from DOltOn 10
Twelfth street, Of which that portlot, FROM
Auburn Junction to Twelfth street will be
double track f0nh.
After the compilation of this work tho WI
bnBlt can have no further excuse for nut run.
Ming Into the Twelftli-Street Depot, Atd It is
therefore fair to presume thnt 1t WILL make
Twelfth street its terminus before thu end ut
this ln0ntll. Whether tic Wabash Will then
reced1 from lis Itustion OF charging 81 less
tim BY my other linz Or not remains mys-
terry. President Humphreys says thai Ills
rntld will then charge tic sntne rntes rs arc
charged by otller lines, but other officials Of
the road shy they do 0nothclleve any SUBTRACTION
will be taker. Should President Humphreys
stick to liis word. nnd tho presumption, is
tlat lie will, the war oi passenger ratts b.,-
tween tho Western lines must necessarily
come to m end, and rates will DO restored to
about the figures Mt which unlimited tickets
haye been sold during this contest.
