AFTER THE MAYOR.

Councilman Timon began a series of
questions to learn whether Mayor
Dodge and the commissioners who
visited the railroad officials had report
ed all their interviews. The commits
sioners could not remember that they
had made reports in full Of all inter
views.
Councilman Timon endeavored to get
Chairman Reed to say that the public
should be given a hearing on such a
momentous problem, but Chairman
Reed would not say so.
Councilman Meagher asked Repre-
sentative Mellen concerning the posi-
bility of getting a measure into the leg
islature after the time for finding new
business had expired. After consider
able talk back and forward, Mr.. Meuen
finally said the city would be in bet
ter position if 1t presented a united
front a month hence, than to show dis
union now. He said the present plan
viii not get the unanimous support of
the city's representatives in the legis-
lature.
Councilman Mcmahon asked him sew
eTal questions enc of which was if he
had any hopes the representatives could
prevent the passage of the bill for ele-
waited tracks. Mr. Mellen said elevated
tracks have been held up now for al
most seven years He then spoke brief

TEN PER CENT ENOUGH.

Chairman Reed remarked that all of
the remarks that had been made
against the report of the commission
were directed against a scheme for the
abolition of the crossings that had
been abandoned by the other commits
sion.
councilman Timon asked why it was
that the report called for stone arches
at al crossings except that at South
bridge street, which was to he
spanned by a steel arch. Chairman
heed replied that it would be utterly
impossible to construct a stone bridge
over that street. The commission
would have been glad to have recon-
practical.
Mr.. Reed further explained that If the

ACTION NECESSARY.

Alderman Carberry told of his three
weeks connection with the commission.
He thought that the commission was of
one mind in presenting the present plan
for acceptance. He said that if any
thing was to be asked of the legisla-
ture, it would have to be done soon, as
it is practically impossible to get BUSH
ness into the House after time for new
business has expired, especially if the
commission is opposed by large cor
poration. He was ready to vote for a
scheme of depression if some body of
competent engineers would come for
ward and say that the scheme was
practical. He had no desire to see the
report railroaded through, and thought
a public hearing should be held. He
thought the commission could be de-
pended upon to do its duty.
Councilman Lancaster inquired
whether any land owners or manufac-
turers at the north end or any section
of the city had been asked their views
in regard to the effect of various plans.
The chairman said that Mr.. Holman
was the only one that has been ques-
toned by the commission.
President Comins of the Board Of
Trade stated that the commission had
sent out circulars to d large number
of manufacturers, and only few of
them had sent replies.
In reply to question by Councilman
Timon as to whether any attention
had been devoted to the crossings at
Jackson, Southbridge and Cambridge
streets, Chairman Reed said that when
the commission was created nothing
was said in regard to those crossings,
and the commission had not consi-
dered them.

last year, because it had submitted
plans to the railroad companies The
commission tried to get the railroad
companies to report, but they would
not He said he did not think anybody
would find fault with the commission,
because it did not break its faith with
the railroad companies after submitting
the plans.
There has never been vote taken
by the commission one way or the
other" said Mr.. Reed. There was never
any argument made to change the
ideas of any member" He said the
decision was arrived at as jury
reaches its decision by going over the
question until it eXhausts all informa-
ton regarding the subject matter.
Il have a confession to make" said
the chairman. L was probably the
most emphatic man in the city in my
own mind, when l became a member
OF the commission, and l thought there
was but one disposition of the grade
crossing question, and that was to de-
press the tracks.
The first time we held a meeting I
found to my surprise that one man Che

in favor of depression. And yet eleven
OF us voted for elevation. 1t was be-

cause it was our desire.

BOLLES BREAKS TRAINING.
His Fight With Sammy Meyers Before
New London A. C. is Off.

The Bolles-Meyers match before the
New London Athletic club on the even
ing of Feb. 8 is off.
Young Bolles, the Worcester prin-
clpal OF the proposed fight, was dis
satisfied with the details of arrange
ment and yesterday afternoon, upon
the advice of his friends in this city,
broke training.
Bolles went up against Moses King
at the New London club two or three
months ago, it being the understand
ing with Matchmaker Mort E. Goss at
the time that he should receive two
thirds of the receipts. Instead of THAI
Bolies claims he received only an eighth
ms snare being a paltry $24.
AT the time he declared that he would
never again appear at the New London
Athletic club, but when the Movers
match came up he was prevailed upon
TO reconsider his determination, and at
last he consented to fight there, but
only upon certain conditions.
lhese were in substance that Match
maker Goss should send articles of
agreement and a certified cheek for a
satisfactory amount. Bolles has been
waiting all this time for the appear
ance Of these two articles, and has writ
ten two or three times regarding the
matter. Getting no response and not
being over-anxious to do work and give
another man all the profits, he conclud-
ed to call the fight off so far as he was
concerned

Osgood Bradley, Allen Brothers and
Caleb Colvin establishments.
Alderman O'Connell then put series
of qeuStions to show that arrange
ments could be made to supply these
establishments in case the tracks We're
depressed. He asked:
Gould not you give a track to the
Osgood Bradley establishment by maxi
ing a lower story?"
City Engineer Mcclure spoke of the
lowering of the tracks in the Boston
and Albany freight yard, concluding
by saying that that would be a matter
for the Boston and Albany railroad to
determine.
Alderman O'Connell quickly put In
You don't think this matter is entire
ly for the railroads to determine?"
The answer of the city engineer was
lost in the applause and laughter which
greeted the question.
The alderman then asked if the city
would drive out any industry by low
ering the tracks, but did not get an
answer which had strict application to
the question.
He then asked if it would not be a
good idea for the city to purchase the
Allen Brcs.' plant, which he said was
a nuisance.
The city engineer did not care to ex-
press an opinion on that question.
Touching on the difficulty of perform
ing the work and keeping up the rail-
road service. Alderman O'Connell Sc
cured the information that the railroads
by a combination of interests might
succeed in doing the work. He also
secured the information that in case
the tracks were depressed, it would not
be necessary to change the grade of
Front street a particle
He asked City Engineer Mcclure
what experiments had been made to
find out how much quicksand there is.
City Engineer Mcclure replied that
none had been made His knowledge
OF the existence was the result of his
own observation.
Alderman O'Connell asked him how
long he held the opinion that the low
ering of Milibrook is not possible. to
which he replied that he never held
such an opinion. The aldermen asked

HEARING ASKED FOR.

Alderman O'Connell then made the
ringing address of the evening. Ear
lier in the evening he had presented
two petitions from remonstrants. He
was heartily in favor of granting the
petition for public hearing, and said
that there was not a man in the room
who would oppose such a public meet
ing and go upon the streets and meet
his friends. In support of a public
nearing, he quoted the following pass
age from the report of the commits
sion:
In the exercise of this duty. vour
commission felt that problem involv-
ing so many interests, so vital to the
welfare OF the city, and calling for so
large an expenditure of money, should
not De decided by any off-hand iudg-
ment, but should receive the same care
Iul and thoughtful consideration and
investigation we would give it We're it
problem in our own private bust
ness"
me solution of this question is the
greater question Worcester has ever
had to solve in municipal legislation.
AFTER a comparison of the Allen plan
ana the present one, he said that while
ne thought that it was a good report,
ic eiOu5Ht THAT Il better plan, perhaDS
with depressed tracks, might be ADOPT
ed. He scored the commission for NOT
having taken the people more fully into
their confidence. He did not think If
wise to go to the legislature at pres
ent with a divided plan The people
OF worcester are interested In their
city and they will ne rest content until
TINS question is finally solved.
He thought that the commission had
made a serious mistake in regard to
exchange street. He thought that the
commonwealth itself had an interest in
EXchange street, as it was the main
tnoroughfare to the asylum. He Thought
mat great majority of the people of
worcester were in favor of some good
teasiole plan for the depression of tine
tracks In closing he moved that the
pettlon for public hearing on the
question be granted and that the hear
ng be held next Thursday evening in

MORE CONVERTS TALK.

James Logan said he was originally
a firm believer in depressed tracks. At
ter giving it full investigation he said
that he came to the conclusion that
there is but one solution, and that is
to elevate the tracks high enough so
as not to depress the streets. He said
it was remarkable that a commission
as large as the present one should have
arrived at unanimous conclusion
without any log-rolling.
Irving E. Comins said he was origi-
nally for depressed tracks, but after
the most careful study, and seeing the
dangers that would come to the city
from the lowering of Millbrook he
came to the conclusion that elevation
is the only thing. The plan does not
mean another Franklin or Southbridge
street. There is no comparison be-
tween the plan proposed by the COM
mission and the existing conditions at
those streets.
Mr. Comins advised putting more
money into the plan than Brockton did
He said that a stone bridge is a pretty
thing in the proper place.
To question of Alderman O'Connell
he said that he could not tell whether
the change in mis- mind from the de-
pressed to elevated tracks was gradual
or sudden nobody had made any at
tempt to get the opinion of others. He
further stated that the Allen commits
sion dismissed the lowering of Mill,
brook as impracticable, reading from
the report to show that fact
Alderman O'Connell read another ex-
tract which says that the sewer can be
lowered from Green street to the rail
road station for s15O,O00 He asked
Mr.. Comins if he could explain WHY
those engineers did not speak Of any
great danger

BIG SQUAD
Will Train For The
Places
IN THE YALE BOAT.
Twice as Many Candidates
Respond as in '98.

New Haven, Conn. Jan. 26.-More
candidates for the Yale University
crew responder to Capt. Aliens call
this afternoon than has been the case
for several years, and Coach Gallau-
Diet was accordingly very much pleased
with the prospect of a good crew. The
number of men who came out today
was 80 as against u last year, and
only fifteen the year before.
The present squad contains seven Of
last years crew and two of the sub
stitutes of the previous year. Moreover
All OF the men who rowed in the vic
torlous freshman crew at New London
last June are also candidates. Alto
gether, the squad is a fine looking one
ana contains much likely material that
is sui an unknown quantity, but
seems to promise much. This seems to
make the competition certain Of being
a hot one
The fact that seven last years crew
men are out again, does not by any
means make them sure of a place in
the boat. Indeed, it is highly proba Bile
that some of the last year freshmen
oarsmen will start in to compete with
good show of winning out from the
varsity veterans.
Inc candidates range in weight from
loS pounds to 1870. Brown, the big
guard on the eleven tips the scales
at the latter figure. He is a trifle too
heavy, but is an ecellant oarsman TAX
en- as an average, the men this year
are several pounds heavier than those
OF last year.
The work of training will begin at
once and today the men were given
some preliminary work in the tanks and
tomorrow they will row in the tanks
IN the gymnasium, using the station
airy seats for the present Runs around
town will supplement this exercise with
little gymnasium drill. Associate
coaches Ives and Bolton will come
up on Saturday for a few days work
with Coach Gallau1et. Rarges will be
used on the harbor next week if the
present weather continues.
