ELEVATED RAILROAD TRACKS,.

Ordered by tho Chicago Council Railroad
Men Protest.
CmCAuo, Feb. 24.-The city council last
night passed an ordinance that all roads
shall elevate their tracks within tho city
limits 80 that vehicles and pedestrians may
pass undet meath them. The last OF the
work must be completed by July !, 1897.
Tho measure will probably be bitterly
fought by the roads on account OF tho enor-
nous expense.
Railroad managers are of the opini on that
the new track elevation ordinance. which
signatu' e of the mayor, requires more than
the companies can perform. President
Miller. of the Chicago. Milwaukee n 81.

tho manner required would practically

be extremely difficult to raise tho money
necessary unless they could show that
earnings were sufficient to cover i%ntereat,
and that cannot be shown by any OF the
companies. II they are compelled
to retire beyond the city limits, many largo
industries now located near their tracks in
