NINTH STREET INCLINE EVIL
yARIoUs FEASIBLE PLANS FOR COR
RECTING IT ARE SUGGESTED.
Property Owners Would Oppose the
TunneIinE of Ninth Street-Scheme
by Which Cars Are to Be
Drawn Up the Hill Only.

The recent accidents on the Ninth street
grade have caused general discussion of
means of reaching the Union depot and
West bottoms from the east by a safer
route. One plan, which seems to meet
with some favor, is to tunnel through the
Ninth street hill, beginning at Washington
street. By this means the sharpness of the
incline could be reduced from 1917 degrees
to a more gradual descent.
Conway F. Holmes, general superintend-
ent of the Metropolitan Street Railway
Company, was seen last night by a Journal
reporter. He said that during the day he
had considered dozen different projects
for correcting the Ninth street incline evil.
THE tunnel you mention might be
good plan" said he but tiea the company fon ,hay
as well as for the Eighth, street
gaauct an the 0rnaase hands Of the pube
Improvement committee of the upper
house. 1 understand that the property
owners at Ninth and Washington. where
the tunnel would commence. will oppose it's
construction. On the other hand, ma
jority of the property owners on Eighth
street have petitioned for the building of
the viaduct. The company doesn't want
ers unless compelled to do So
IF we secure our franchise for building
the viaduct we propose to partially aban-
don the use of the Ninth street incline.
The road there will be used for running
cars only one way. We have device by
which cars may be drawn up with perfect
safety, SO after the viaduct Is built, east
bound trains will alternate between the
Eighth street tunnel and the Ninth street
incline. All west bound trains Will pass
through the tunnel. This, l think: Is the
most practicable method of settling the

airs a rare treat Christmas eve. The
paper says; "But the feature which

choir and the other half contained a

That Vacation.

Our remarks upon the vacation OF
the streets and alleys IN the O. X. &
N, addition did not hit a responsive
chord in the Dispatch vitals. AS
usual that journal in presenting the
opposite side OF the question fred
away without any reference to actual
facts, The Dispatch says; u II land
without looking at the merits of the
case proceeds to oppose such petition,
Mr. Brainerd proceeds upon the the
DRY that for the commissioners to
grant the prayer Of the petition,
would have the effect to take all this
property out Of the city and relieve it
Of its fair share Of the city tax when
such is not the facts at ALL"
The trouble with the Dispatch is
that it never cares to print facts but
goes off on a wild goose chase after
anything that will I'LL up its columns.
We examined the tax rolls for several
years past and find that prior to the
Vacated OF streets and alleys in o
portion OF this same addition, it was
listed as city property and paid taxes
accordingly. Since such vacation no
city tax has been paid, we are in
formed by one who knows chat the
vacated portion was placed on the
tax rolls as city property, but an
agent Of the company objected and
claimed that it was outside the CITY
limits and consequently the land was
relieved OF city tax, and has since
been assessed as tracts OF land in the
township. The records prove our
statements to be true.
If this property is listed to high,
the time for the company to have re-
auctions made was at the annual
meeting of the board Of equalization.
The records show that two lots we're
recently sold III one corner Of the
addition, for $25, these are assessed at
SIS, one-fifth Of their actual value.
The lots are the best two in that por-
ton Of the plat. "
We do not believe anyone wants
this property assessed at any differ
ent rate than is other property in
the city.
The wind up Of the DiSpatch's ar
ticle, gives the entire thing away.
It reads:
ave believe il to be to the best in
terest Of all concerned that fair I'M
derstsnding be had in this matter,
and that aUe pay only our equal and
just share of the burden Of taxation"
Surely the editor Of the Dispatch
does not run paid ads. as editorials.
