Up to yesterday afternoon no reply
had been received by the sub committee Of
five, of the citizens committee of twenty
five, from the officials of the Wabash rail
road company as to whether said company
would Join with the narrow guage railroad
company in building an embankment,
either on the outer or inner side of the
city's new lcvee, in accordance with the
plan sent them by the subcommittee about
ten days ago. The reason Of the delay
is probably that the St. Louis officials Of
the Wabash road, are not authorized to
make any satisfactory answer without pre-
vious consultation with some New York
officials This is all right, but it does
seem that the brief space of time" al.
lowed by President Whitehead, of the mar.
row gusge road to the Wabash company,
| in which to accept or reject the offer
made by the former, is rapidly passing
away. 1t may be that il has already
passed away long ago, for President White.
! head wisely reserved to himself the right
to say what constitutes "brief space of
time" But be all this as it may, il is not
| likely that President Whitehead or the
narrow gpage officials will show very much
concern so long IA high water cuts them
off from this city; but as soon as the
obstacle shall have disappeared, so that
any understanding arrived at between them
and the city council can be carried out,
then change will come over the officials
and they will treat the propositions of the
council and the citizens with ordinary re.
