PEOPLES PULPIT.

Ed. Courier-In the Courier of
February 81 an outsider" begs leave
to differ with me as to the damage
which the track of the Chicago, Bur-
lington &c Quincy railway will do if
laid along the north side of the GENE
terry. First, he says, it leaves the
ground to be used for burial purposes
which the company would have occu-
pied. If the railroad company had
taken a strip of the cemetery and
did as they agreed to they would have
filed in ravine with surplus dirt
which would have given as many ad-
ditional lots as there were in the strip
of ground they would have taken.
An outsider" also says the lot,
when sold, would bring more than the
company offered for the right of way,
and what | have to say about that is,
lit was counting the chickens before
they were Matched He also says that
the city ordinance contained no
clause for an overhead crossing, and
to show that an outsider didn't know
what he was talking about, will give
that part of the ordinance, which ap-
pears in section two of the ordinances
which granted right OF way which
says: In further consideration of
| this conveyance, the said company
shall construct, and maintain good
and sufficient overhead crossing over
its railroad and right of way at some
convenient point in or near the above
described premises, for the purpose
of furnishing the public safer and
more convenient access to said GENE
Itery from the north.
"The overhead bridge for the cross
ing herein agreed to be constructed
shall be at least sixteen feet wide,
and the approaches shall be at least
Itwenty-four feet in width at the top
of the embankment, and of a grade OF
not more than seven feet in a hun
bred.
l want to give the Outsider credit
for signing his communication as he
did for it was outsiders with one ex.
ception that went before the court
and swore that the c., B. & @. rail
road was going to tear up the buried
dead and scatter their ashes to the
winds, when the closest grave to the
right of way was ninety-eight feet. Al
least three-fourths of the people in
Agency were in favor of letting the
company have the right of way.
