OBJECT TO NEW EXPENSE
WASHINGTON STREET PROPERTY
OWNERS WILL MEET TODAY.
Do Not Want the street Resurfacing
Charged to Them-A TeIe-
phone Petition.

Washington-street property owners are
aroused by the announcement that the road
way of that thoroughfare is to be resurfaced
at their expense, and a meeting has been
called for this afternoon at O'Clock to dis
cuss the subject with City Engineer Jeup.
The meeting will be i'm the assembly room
of the Commercial Club. The call for the
meeting has been made by some OF the most
influential Washington-street merchants.
This thing came on us like a thunderbolt,"
said one OF them last night, land we want
to know just what it means. Washington
street is one of the widest in town, and it
will cost an immense amount to reimprove
it. We do not feel that we should pay for
it. The improvement will benefit the entire
city more than any one of us, and we feel
that the Improvement should be paid for
by the city,
The discussion of tho Washington-street
Improvement is not a new thing, although
the impression was made last fall that the
street would not be improved. Almost every
day last summer men were kept at work
repairing the street, and the repairs cost a
good deal They were paid for out of the
fund for repairing permanently improved
streets, however, and no particular obJec-
ton was made to it. At one time the Board
of Works talked about reSurfacing the
street, but there was a good deal of opposi-
tion to this and the subject was dropped
with the announcement that 1T would simply
be repaired.
The present. Washington-street pavement
was laid in 1888. and was the first street in
the city to be improved by the construction
of such roadway.

w. II. McDoeI, vice president of the Mo-
non lines, has just returned from New
York, and he states that business men in
the East and railroad officials think the
business outlook very promising. So far as
the Monon is concerned, it is in clover, as
Mr.. McDoel puts it. It's business IS high
ly satisfactory The company expects to
haul from the Bedford quarries this season
1900 carloads of stone; already a numoer
of large orders have been placed by Eastern
firms for stone Last year, under unfavor-
able conditions, there were shipped 1900
carloads from the Bedford stone quarries,
and as the company gets the product of the
stone quarries recently purchased by the
Samuel Thomas syndicate. 1t greatly
strengthens the hold of the Monon on the
would in a few days ask for bids for five
heavy freight engines and three hundred
cars. No steel will be laid this season. as
the main line is now laid with heavy steel,
as well as the Indianapolis division. only
sixty miles of road is yet to be ballasted,
and the entire system is well ballaSted with
either gravel or stone. A still more inn
portant improvement contemplated is reduc-
ing the grades between Monon and the State
line to maximum of tWenty-six feet to the
mile. The Indiana Stone Railroad Com
pany will build a few miles of track, which
mile and several reverse curves Monon
engines can then haul forty-tive loaded cars
from the quarrieS as easily as they haul
fifteen now. Mr.. McDoel did not say so, yet
an impression prevails that the Indiana
Stone Company's road will in the near
the owners of the road are more or less in-
tereSted in the MonOn.

ANOTHER COMBINATION
THE c., II. & ID. AND MONON CONSOLE
DATE FREIGHT DEPOTs.
Report of Receiver MaIOtt, OF the
VandaIia-A Pending Deal Regnrd-
ing the Lake Erie & Western.

w. Fl. McDoel, vice president and general
manager of the Monon lines; George Low
ell general superintendent; c. G. Waldo,
general manager of the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton & Dayton lines, and Chief Engineer
Wilson, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day
ton, met in this city yesterdaE and arranged
for the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton TO
occupy the Monon freight depot as soon as
an addition can be constructed the addition
to be $50 feet in length and extending to
East street; the depot will then extend from
New Jersey to East street and will be of
the same width as the one recently built by
the Monon. This settles a problem which
has hung fire for several years, or at least
since the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton
depot on South Alabama street was burned.
AS all the interchange Of business between
the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton and Mo
non is over the Belt road, there will be only
the local business of the two roads to take
care of, and with the larger depot and in
creased yard tracks it is proposed to lay, no
trouble will be experienced.

gress caused this extra session. The asso-
citation adopted the following resolution:
THAT the president of the American Asso-

lation by the several States of the United
States, which committee shall consist OF
three general passenger agents from the

The Lake Erie & Western.


The management is said to have very
important deal under way, which will be
announced in detail as soon as a struggle
among three separate banking synGicates
for the handling of the bond issue involved
is settled Just at present the management
is an interested spectator of this contest.
and will be happy to sec it continue. The
full particulars of the alleged deal are not
yet available, but enough is known, ac-
cording to New York advices, to warrant
the statement that the Lake Erie & Western
is about to secure some valuable Eastern
connections, some of which will enable it to
reach tidewater in an advantageous way.
This will be done in connection with the
Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg Railway,
and it is known that Senator Brice, Of the
Lake Erie * Western. and Mr.. Adrian
lselin, of the B., r. & p, have been con-
more than a year past. The plan is said TO
build the Lake Erie & Western eastward
from Akron to a connection with the new
line which the b., II. IL r. Is TO build west
ward from it's system in the Clearfield coal
region, which is considered to be equal IN
most respects TO the coal and coke dis
tricts further south on the Baltimore d
Ohio road. The Lake Erie & Western al
ready has Il large corps of men in the held
preparing for the work of construction. IT
will get its eastern outlet over the b., X. q
p Beech Creek and Reading lines. The
road to be built is expensive. l.. Il. & w.
will have to pay as much as $1,000 per mile
for right of way in some places. There will
be connection with the Carnegie lines. 1t
will be remembered that the unproductive
Northern Ohio Railway was tackled to the
Lake Erie q Western system in 1888 against
tho wishes of many large holders or securl-
ties This road has been a burden to the
Lake Erie & Western. The new line now
proposed will be an extension or the North
ern Ohio division, and should make II a val
liable property. 1t is understood that the
cost of the $50 miles of road to be built by
the b. r. & p. will be about $4O0O,eoo put
the projectors believe there will be few
more productive pieces of road in the coun-
try

Calvin S. Brice has just completed ar
engagements whereby eastern and western
outlets are provided for his railroads in
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. Mr. Brice owns
the Lake Erie & Western, the Northern
Ohio, the Detroit, Toledo & Milwaukee and
the Cleveland, Akron & Columbus railroads.
He has also heavy interest in the Ohio
Southern. Mr.. Brice has decided to build
an extension of the Northern Ohio road
from Akron to Newcastle, Pa The an
nouncement is made that the Buffalo,
Rochester & Pittsburg Railway has decided
to build an extension from Punxsutawney
to Newcastle. The Findlay, Fort Waye a.
Western Railway, which has permanent
traffic arrangements with the Brice roads,
is about to extend from Fort Wayne to
Kankakee and thence to Chicago With
these three extensions built freight can
move from Chicago over the Lake Erie &
Western and its connections. and from st.
Louis over the Glover Leaf or any line
reaching Newcastle: thence over the Buff
falo. Rochester & Pittsburg, and thence to
the seaboard by the Beach Greek and the
Lehigh Valley or Jersey Central. This line
is straighter than any of the western Penn
sylvania lines; it has connections with all
the important lake ports; 1t can be operated
Ut low cost, and fuel is plentifully distrib
uted along it's full length.
