ELEVATED TRACK QUESTION.
Commercial Club Committee Thinks
the City Has Ample Power.

The Commercial Club elevated railroad
commission several weeks ago requested
subcommittee of attorneys to prepare a bill
giving to the city such further powers as
1t may need with reference to the con-
struction of elevated tracks as a means
of relief from the dangers and incon-
veniences of grade crossings inside the city.
The chairman of the subcommittee has re-
ported that in his opinion the city already
has the same power precisely to compel
the elevation of tracks that 1t has for re-
quiring the building of viaductS. This IS
given in Section % of the charter. Accord
ing to this view the city can compel the
lie need for them absolutely at the ex-
penSe of the railroad companies, and 1t mas
the same power with reference to the con-
struction of viaducts. If the city, how
ever, should desire to enter into an arrange
ment with the railroad companies wnerepy
it would bear a proportion of the expense
legislation would be necessary to enable
it to do this; otherwise, if either elevated
tracks or vaducts are constructed the en-
roads. In its recent report the commission
recommended an equitable division of the
motion by Mr.. Maus seconded by Mr.. Err
win, the commission favors a law which
will limit the taxation for such purposes
to cents on the 500 of valuation in any
one year.
The commission believes that the whole
question of the relation of the public to
the operation and maintenance of railroads
in Indiana should be thoroughly investi-
gated and that a careful examination
should be made of the laws of other States
providing supervision and control of all
such matters by a State commission. Ii
urges the careful preparation of bill
for legislation establishing a permanent
State railroad commission for protection
of public Interests and rights and for the
equitable settlement of all questions con-
nected with the management and mainten-
ance of railroads in Indiana so far as
they involve public interests. This would
provide better means of dealing with the
railroad corporations in all matters and
would, it is believed by the commission,
be mutually beneficial to the public and
the railroads

Anxious About the Pooling Bill.
Railroad officials and shippers are desir-
Gus that the railroad pooling bill be acted
upon, and are awaiting the action with
much interest. Said one of the officials yes
terday: Not only are the railroad man
ayers throughout the country interested.
but also vast army of security holders,
who are beginning to realize what promise
of benefit to their interests it carries with
it. 1t Is conceded that with the bill in prac-
teal effect the railroads will be able to
further cut down their expense accounts;
and will be in position to maintain rates
more effectively. To-day there are twenty
eight fast freight lines doing east-b bound
business out of indianapolis over six roads,
and twenty-five lines doing west-bourki
business into Indianapolis. when ten would
be an ample number, that would mean a
fast freight line for every road east of. the
Central Traffic Associations eastern
termini." He said he did not look for any
material advance in rates. but an advance
of only mill per 100 pounds per mile would
give TO the roads a large increase in rev.
enue. while al the same time it would barely
be felt by the shippers.

Ilabored under the impression that the

for this neglect, which. I am certain, was
unintentional.
As the presentation ofsthe portrait was
made by you, make the request that you
express for me to Mrs. Booth, not only
my personal thanks, but those OF the peo-
pie OF the State, Tor her priceless gilt to
them.
No one citizen of this commonwealth
was ever held, and deservedly SO, in
higher regard than Newton Booth. He
was man of the people and for the peo-
pie; always against the encroachments of
corporate power, he was ever found
battling for the rights of the oppressed.
His monument is in his record, and his
name synonym for honor, truth and
justice. Yours sincerely,
