NJ. Lawrence Coinian said he was yitally
interested III tire Railroad avenue PROPOSE

grade vas OF iuestimahle benefit 10 team
sters. but III the road got back 10 the old
crossing. the grade would have 10 go hack

come as inaccessible as before. Further

West streets had conformed to the new
grade, aud would be greatly damaged ii

The Columbia & Puget Sound Shore Coln-
ranles to choose the location of their
