Elevation OF Rock Island Tracks
In Chicago Completed.
Work Has Cost Over a Million
Dollars.
DEPOT
Will Probably Be Built by Rock
Island and Lake Shore.
News af a General and
Local Nature.

Chicago, Sept 23.-The last stroke of
work has been done on the elevation OF
the tracks of the Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific railway and the Lake Shore
from Sixteenth street to Seventy-sixth'
a. distance of six and one-half miles.
Twenty-four months ago the eleva-
tion of the tracks was begun and in a
year it was carried from Sixteenth
street to Sixty-ninth street, including
the raising OF three immense switching
yards. The average height Of the ele-
walton is ten feet, and for most of the
distance five main tracks are used.
The elevation of the Rock Island diff
fers from that of most of the other
Chicago roads in that more streets have
been opened under the elevation than
have been closed. The only thorough
fares closed We're Nineteenth and
Twentieth streets, and they were little
used.
Between Sixty-ninth and Seventy
sixth streets thoroughfares that had
never been used were opened by via
ducts.
dinance is finished" said President
Purdy of the Rock Island. 1T looked
like a big job when We started, but now
that our tracks are up and out of the
way we are glad of it. The elevation

has already enabled us to make faster
time
Just what the gigantic work has cost
the Rock Island and Lake Shore roads
can not be learned, but it is estimat ted
that it Will foot up we'll into seven fig
ureS.
From Sixteenth to Van Buren, street
the tracks of these lines are still at
grade. There is yet no ordinance for
this work. officers of the two roads
and q council committee have held a
number of conferences to discuss plans
for lifting the tracks between the last
named streets, but as Yet no common
ground has been reached
The further elevation of the tracks
presents a complicated problem. They
cross three or four busy streets and end
in the union station at Van Buren,
street.
In addition each road has large
freight houses adjacent to their tracks
in the district named, connection with
which must be provided for in the ele-
walton. The raising OF the tracks Will
bring them into the big station ten or
twelve feet above their present level
and this viii necessitate a remodehng
of the depot. It is quite probable that
when it is decided just how these
tracks are to be dealt with the Rock
Island and Lake Shore will decide to
tear down their station and erect a new
one It is said they may put up six
