furnished by the city engineer as
basis for the work. The roads might
do it any way which seemed best to
them, provided they did it. But with
mastery inactivity they did nothing.
The city sent warning after warning
and even threatened 10 begin the work
itself. Then the last legal act of the
fight was commenced; iniunctions were
applied for. These failed.
Meanwhile the general managers had
formed an association for mutual pro
lection. This was held out to be an
association to protect business, pre-
vent rateslashing. and by concert of
action get all roads into line on a gen
eral policy. 1t was really designed to
fight the elevation scheme. But even
injunction-made laws failed them for
the courts held that the city had the
power to act. 1t looked along in the
years just before the Worlds Fair as
II direct conflict would take place be
tween the city officers on one hand and
road employees on the other.
Expert engineers declared that 1t
would cost as much or more to elevate
or depress the tracks as it had cost In
the original construction of the roads.
Road attorneys, using this us n basis,
argued that the hardship on the roads
was SO great that even conceding the
power of the city to force action no
court would force such an extremity
of hardship. The lawyers also argued
that this expense, heavy as it would
be, would be but n trifie when compar-
ed with the loss entailed by the inter
ruption Of traffic. The contention of the
experts regarding the cost has been
proved to be under rather than over
the actual expenditure. 1t has cost the
roads about $4,000 mile to do the
work. But the alleged loss due to in
terrupted traffic has been proved to be
but dream. The roads suffered incon-
yenience, TO be sure. but no line lost n

undertaking. But in the end they had
this to do just the same. First it was
held by the lines that they could not
be compelled to elevate their tracks or
In any other manner alter the grades.
This point was argued laboriously af-
ter months and even years of skillful
research in the law books; it took the
highest court in the State but few
minutes to destroy the illusion.
Ten years ago the question Of elevat-
ing the tracks was q political issue in
this city. Parties battled over the
question, one side being inclined to the
belief that the city lacked the power
to force the roads to act and the other
certain the power existed. But by the
beginning Of 1890 it was no longer a
dividing question. No candidate for
Mayor could hope to win unless out
spoken in favor of sending up all the
tracks and making the roads pay the
bills. To-day NO administration looks

proyement Guards and watchmen
were maintained at the crossings, time
tables were public property, and the
roads saw no reoson why they should
be called upon to bear millions of dol
lars extra expense to remedy the diff
Guilty.
The grade status in Chicago to-day is
an excellent eXemplar Of what Chica-
goans can do when they will it. Hun
dreds of miles Of tracks have been ele
vated or depressed, hundreds of cross
ings abolished, either suDways or via
ducts containing the offending tracks,
and the roads have paid out nearly
$17,000,000 The city has not been at
any expense at ell in accomplishing
this feat. Ninety per cent. of the tracks
no longer menace the public on foot or
horseback or in carriages. Every
spadeful of earth, every block of ma
sonry, every bolt in every piece Of iron
provided for by ordinance has been put
in place.
Chicago won the fight as she gener-
ally wins whatever she seeks, But it
was long, hotely contested AID inter-
esting contest just the same, for the
big lines are no mean antagonists, and
had many fairly sound arguments to
advance to show they should not bear
all the expense, interruption to traffic
and worry incidental to such a colossal

pound of freight or single passenger
on this account. The tribunals also
disappointed the legal lights by calmly
saying the city would force the roads
to do what was needed.
Not an inch of track has been estab-
lished according to the new grade
without a persistent fight In which all
the skill, foresight and acumen of the
companies has been expended. The
expense, as has been shown, has been
enormous, even if no other cost had
been involved than the filling In and
retaining of the roadbed within the
limits prescribed. But every step in the
progression has been fought over bit
terly, entailing additional expense on
the roads. So far as the city is con
orned, the battle has been substantial
without expense beyond that pro-
.aed for in the ordinary administra-
tion of public affairs.
Jan. L, 1892, not Il mile of the hun
dreds Of tracks in the city had been
elevated. Probably somewhere near
1000 crossings were in existence. In
one year-last year-nearly 200 cross
ings were eliminated. This Is a mere
straw to show how rapidly the tide set
in the other way when once the city
got down to business. With every
crossing ON grade in the beginning of
the initial year of actual elevation, the
year closed with some fifty miles in
the air and a large number of danger
GUS crossings, especially on the south
side, no longer menaced the people.
Seven years ago every train, freight
or passenger, which entered the city
poked along slowly from the limits to
the depots with very few exceptions.
Ordinances provided that only a GER
tain speed should be maintained inside
the city limits, that the peril to pedes-
trians or other citizens In the city
might be reduced to n minimum. Some
few express trains rushed along at a
high rate OF speed, but they were
guarded at block intervals for six OF
seven miles. Gates were dropped
when the trains We're half a mile dis
tant, and the gongs ratified without
ceasing until after the rashipg express

upon the question as anything more
than a mere matter of detail. Ordin-
ances must be drawn and accepted by
the roads and work done under them
us regularly as streets are paved or
cleaned--in fact more regularly than
can be said of the cleaning process.
Under the administration of the elder
Harrison determined effort was
made to get at the matter In bust
ness-like manner. The roads at first
merely laughed at the idea as vision
ary plan utterly impossible of accom-
plishment. They held that neither
they nor the city could afford the ex-
pense even IL they could stand the In
terruption to their ordinary business
while their tracks We're being elevated
The first objection raised was that
the roads would practically be forced

to suspend business while this work
was going on. The Mayor thought diff
ferently, but in conclusion said let
them suspend then, for the lives and
limbs of the people were valuable be-
yond any mere financial computation.
But it was also shown by engineering
experts that the elevation could be ac
complished without substantial inter-
ruption to traffic, Il contention which
has been demonstrated daily ever since
the first carload of material was dump
ed in a right of way.
The roads did not deny that If the
thing could be done it would be valu-
able thing for both sides, but the roads
also declined to consider the PROPOSE
ton in any guise. They had laid their
tracks under charters and ordinances
had complied with the laws, and no
body or corporation could disturb their
possession. They sometimes carried
this contention to such an extent as to
battle among themselves to prevent
some rival line from crossing their
rights of way. Work was done on
Sunday and holidays to evade, IL possi-
BILE, the interference of police or sher-
iff. But these attempts wers always
met by a like determination. result
ing finally in defeat or compromise.
When the roads learned that the
courts had held that the power lay in
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1899-12-20

the city, under general regulations of
police as well rs under charter pro-
visions, to force changes of grade to
meet modern necessities they asked
who would pay for it. When told that
they would be expected to do this, It
new fight was commenced, for they at
first absolutely refused to do any such
thing.
1t was discovered to the deep disgust
of the companies that they could be
forced to alter any grade named and
also be forced to foot the bill. Then
the element of suggested compromise
entered into the controversy early in
1890. The companies began to spar for
wind and suggest that each side pay
half.
But the city had won every round In
court and was not inclined to help one
little bit. The roads were successfully
notified to begin the work. No exact
plan was adopted, but pronles were
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1899-12-20

the grade crossing would have to go.
1t also taught the railroad companies
that all they could do would be to fight
for time; they must all get in the band
wagon in the end. So when the Worlds
Fair Mayor was elected it was believed
that considerable progress would be
made. One thing had initiated against
progress, and that was that the city
was trying to do too much at once.
The city had been trying to battle the
combined roads as a combination. Or
dinances were being prepared which
were blankets covering the entire sys-
tenn in the city. These necessarily fail
ed from too great complication.
In 1893 a change in plan was inaug-
urated. 1t was decided to go at the
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1899-12-20

elevated Its tracks as far south as O3d
street. Like all others, this road fought
the whole thing bitterly, but, seeing no
escape, the road accepted the ordin-
ances passed to provide for the work
on Its lines. These ordinances are real
ly plans carefully prepared to obviate
engineering difficulties and enable the
line to elevate or depress the tracks at
the smallest estimated cost. The city
pays nothing, but has enforced its de-
mands until few roads wish to make
the fight any longer.
This beginning inspired the people
and authorities with reason to feel that

roads in detail, taking one or two at a
time, drawing up ordinances on engi-
neering schemes agreed upon between
the city engineer and the experts of
the roads, All other roads would be left
alone for the time being, the city deter
mining to fight the enemy in detail In
stead of in bulk. The result was at once
apparent, for the roads were tangled
up and each had its own particular
fight on its hands. The Northwestern
was the second to get to work, for in
1898 plans were submitted for the ele-
yation of the Galena division, which,
with some unimportant notifications.
were decided upon as good working
plans

had passed. There Is no diminution OF
this speed to-day 1t Is rather increas-
ed, for the trains can run at sixty miles
an hour without running the slightest
risk of killing citizen at any grade
crossing.
With the Worlds Fair coming on,
one road saw the advantage OF elevated
tracks to hurry visitors down to the
