Erie RAILROAD KICKS.
Street and Water Board Ig-
nores Its Objection to an
Improvement.

AT a meeting of the Street n Water
Board today James S. Allen, represent
ing the Erie Railroad, ogjecteu TO the
proposed opening and Improvement of
Thirteenth street. The Company's OBJ
lection is that it will nave to pay an as
sessment for benefits to it's property at
the foot of the hill. The property own
ers who are interested in the Thirteenth
street Improvement are practically those
who have been fighting the Company to
bring about the elevation of it's tracks.
An objection to the improvement has
been looked for. n the property owners
believe they have the upper hand. The
company has not sufficient frontage on
the street to obstruct the Improvement,
and the Commissioners decided to have
the work pushed along as rapidly as pos
sible to prevent legal complications from
arising.
OTHER OBJECTIONS MADE.
One remonstrance was filed against the
proposed improvement of Union street.
1t was also overruled as being INSULT
cient to check the work.

avenue a we'll signed objection was filed.
Among the demonstrators is the self
styled public benefactor, Henry v. Con-
dict. He does not think the improve
ment will advance valuations to the
amount of the assessment. Nothing fur
Their will be done in the matter until a
satisfactory conclusion is reached.
To the opening of Mercer street n
building OF a Nladuct no objections Were
made. At he next meeting of the Board
the necessary contracts will be awarded.
