LAST LINK
In Right Of Way For an Electric
Line.

Mr.. L. J.. Wolf of Cleveland, has re-
turned from Chicago, where he has
just received from the city a fran
chise giving the Aurora, Wheaton &
Chicago Railway permission to enter
the city. The franchise Is for a period
of forty-two years. The Aurora,
Wheaton & Chicago will run some of
its cars down through the centre of
the city over the Metropolitan Elevated
Railway. The rest of its cars will con-
meet with the Metropolitan at a union
station located near the outskirts of
the city. The cars of the Aurora,
Wheaton & Chicago come in on one
side of the platform and the Metro
politan Elevated 60 out on the other
side, so that all the passengers will
have to do is to walk across the plat
form of one train into the other This
gives the Aurora, Wheaton & Chicago
the best terminal facilities of any Chi
cago suburban line. This franchise
was the missing link In the right of
way, and the securing of 1t gives the
company complete right Of way from
Aurora and Elgin to the heart of Chi
cago. There is a large amount of Ak
ron capital invested in the line.

terday afternoon at 1 o'clock. The meeting

Mr.. MAROTT'S PROTEST.
He Doesn't Want Massachusetts Ave.
nue. Resurfaced Now.

George ]. Marott visited the basement of
the courthouse yesterday afternoon to reg
lister a remonstrance against the proposed
resurfacing of Massachusetts, avenue, from
Ohio street TO st. Clair street. The board
has taken no action for such an improve
ment, but Chairman Sahm announced that
the work might be ordered by the board.
Mr.. Marott did not succeed in finding any
members of the board, but he saw City
Engineer Jeup and made his protest against
the proposed work. Mr.. Marott says the
property owners who took out the Barrett
law assessments TO pay for the work still
have two years 2onger in which to pay fer
the original Improvement. He thinks il
would be unjust for the city to order The
street resurfaced while the property own
ers are still paying for the original i'm
provement. Mr.. Marott said the guarantee
given by the Improvement company has
expired and the property owners would
have to pay for such Improvement He may
file a protest with the board.
