May Change Depots.

The time is likely to come when the use
OF the Webster street passenger station
will be discontinued. Only local trains are
run into that depot at this time, and It Is
probable that the Elkhorn and Missouri
Pacific managers will at some future time
find It advantageous to carry all Of their
passengers TO and from the union station.
Such an arrangement may easily be made
by both companies. The Elkhorn has
track that connects with the Union Pacific
and Burlington at South Omaha and IL could
readily avail itself of the use of either of
these lines for a southern entry into the
city. The Missouri Pacific would find Il
convenient to enter the city at the south
by merely turning to the south instead Of
to the north when It strikes the Belt line.
II arrangements should be made for
bringing the Elkhorn and Missouri Pacific
passenger trains into the union station, as
has been suggested, the necessity for abo-
ishing the grade crossings in the north
part OF town would not be pressing, How
ever, II the present conditions are to con-
tinue the grade crossings will probably be
done away with at a time not so very far
in the future. City Engineer Rosewater
believes the proper thing to do in the north
section is to raise the tracks from five to
eight feet and lower the streets from five
TO ten feet, making overhead railroad
crossings.
when It is deemed necessary to the
public safety" says Mr.. Rosewater, "tho
grade crossings in the north part OF the
city will be abolished. have no doubt the
railway companies and The city will be able
TO agree upon plans for the Improvement
when the time comes for it.. l think the
Elkhorn crossing should be removed from
the street grade at North Twenty fourth
street as soon as possible, because that Is
a much-traveled thoroughfaro.'

hut Few Grade Crossings.

II will be seen that the only grade cross
ings remaining in the south section Of the
city are between Tenth street and the river,
where the traffic on the streets Is not
heavy enough to make them dangerous,
In the north part Of town great many
streets are crossed at grade by the Elkhorn
and Belt Line tracks. The ElkhOrn passes
Thirtieth street overhead, there are bridges
over the Belt Line at Hamilton and Center
streets and there are subways under the
tracks at Cunning street, sherman avenue
and Forty-ffth avenue, but at all other
points where railways and streets intersect
there are grade crossings. The most dan
gerous of these crossings is at North
Twenty fourth street, and this one in all
probability will soon be abolished.
The tracks that cross the north part of
town are used only by the Elkhorn and the
Missouri Pacific, and trains are infrequent
as compared with those run over the lines
in the south section. These facts. together
with the comparatively light street traffic
in the north end and the possibility Of
bringing the Elkhorn and Missouri Pacific
trains into the Union station over the south
ern tracks at some time in the future, eX-
plain why more attention has not been
given to the abolition Of grade crossings in
the north section.

PASSING OF The FLAGNAN
Rapid Abolition Of Grade Crossings Kill,
His Occupation.
VADUcTs ARE NOW QUITE FASHIONABLE
Omaha Leads other American cities
in Niaduct observation-disclosures
of the subject by Expert
civil Engineers.

The man with the red flag whose duty
in life is TO stand at the railway crossing
and dissuade weak but ambitious human
ity from humping up against the superior
force of the locomotive will not for many
years longer find field for his particular
usefulness in Omaha. He is rapidly going
out Of date IN this city. on account Of the
corresrcndingly rapid approach Of the end
OF the grade crossing II will not be many
years before Omaha will be more fortunate
than any other city OF its size in the coun.
try in having every one OF It's numerous
railroad tracks removed from the grade at
street intersections.
Grade crossings have caused so many vio-
lent deaths and other serious accidents
and proved such a formidable obstacle to
rapid transit that their abolition has been
a subject Of public demand in almost every
American city, and few municipalities, #
any. have been as fortunate as Omaha In
putting an end 10 tho nuisance. However
1t must not be understood that grade cross
ings have been knocked out in Omaha with
out an effort. on the contrary. the work
OF getting the tracks over and under inter
secting streets has been accomplished only
by the persistent, long continued and intel
ligent Efforts OF faithful public servants.

out an effort. On the contrary, the work
of getting the tracks over and under inter
secting streets has been accomplished only
by the persistent long continued and intel
ligent Efforts OF faithful public servants.
Ninducts Come High.
Building viaducts and subways TO put
numerous railroad tracks under and over
street crossings calls for the expenditure
OF immense sums OF money. and we'll man
aged railroad companies never invite un-
necessary expense AMI always cndeavor 70
put the burden OF abating grade crossings
upon the taxpayers Of the city whose streets
they occupy. Such endeavor on their part
generally results in compromise. whereby
the companies share the cost of vaducts
and subways with the cities. In the case
Of Omaha. II was necessary for The munich
pality TO travel in the speedy company OF
the railroad people as far as the United
states supreme court in order 10 secure tho
benefit % the law which provides that when
railroad track is built across n street
the public highway must be left in the same
condition Of safety as It was before the
construction of the track. To the enforce
ment of this law is due the fact that all
viaducts over and subways under railroads
in Omaha are built and paid for by the
railroad companies.
II may be said to the credit of the rail-
way companies entering this city that they
have not hesitated to carry out their obli.
cations in regard to the abolition OF grade
crossings since the time when these obliga-
tions were determined by the courts. The
splendid new viaduct over the Union Pacific
and Burlington tracks at Sixteenth street
was built at the eNpens, Uf the c1lapGnies
and the similar crossing at Twenty fourth
street, which is to be constructed during
the coming summer. will be another heavy
charge against them.
When the new Twenty-fourth street via
duct is completed the end Of grade crossings
in the south section of the city will be al
most at hand. At Tenth and Eleventh
streets the tracks pass under viaducts
Twelfth street is practically closed, Thir
teenth runs under the tracks, Fourteenth
and Fifteenth are closed, Sixteenth has a
viaduct, Seventeenth Is used at the railway
crossing by but one manufacturing estab-
lishmcnt, located alongside the tracks
Eighteenth and Nineteenth do not cross the
tracks, at Twentieth there is a subway, the
next three streets are closed. and at
Twentyfourth street the new viaduct is
