The Indiana, Illinois and Iowa rail
road has issued defiant CHALLENGE to
the city of South Bend and despite the
fact that the common council and the
board of public works have refused to
grant a right of way through the city
over the route selected by that railroad
for its eastern extension to Detroit,
Mich, via Toledo, the railroad people
put big force of men at work Friday
morning on the proposed line. The
city refused the right of way because
the route passed too near the heart of
the city and residents made strenuous
objection. The contention of the COM
| pany is that it is not absolutely neces-
Sary for them to secure the sanction
of the city authorities to their pro-
posed route, but that such course has
been pursued to avoid any legal squab-
bles and consequent delays. The city
will uphold its end of the fight. The
| railroad people have another factor to
consider A few years ago the Indiana,
Illinois and Iowa cut off the Vandalia
| from use of the old northern extension
which the new tracks must cross The
| Nandalia has brought out engines and
freight cars and has blocked attempted
progress.
