that the increase may be for other pur-
poses than the track improvements an
nounced by the directors. October Is there
will be another meeting to consider taking
over many of the roads now leased
operated by the Illinois Central. and it is
possible that some of the money raised by
the new issue will go for that purpose.

Concerning the motives for the step. two

that they and their friends no longer owned

THINKS NECESSITY EXISTS
FOR ELEVATED RACKS.

II think that the city has now reached a
point where elevated roads are a necessity,

Thirty years ago. President Of the
Fair Grounds Association, Green, with JUL
ius Walsh, promoted and built the old
Union line from Sixth and Locust streets
TO the Fair Grounds. Later, with Mr..
Walsh, he bought the Fourth street line,
then a horse-car road, and changed it into
a cable. He held the controlling interest in
this, stock in the Southern Electric and IN
other street car lines, until bought by the
present Transit Company.
Since then he has been quietly endeavor-
ing to promote an elevated line. He became
interested in the old Scott franchise, which
was granted the Scott brothers twelve
years ago. The franchise provided for an
elevated line to run from Third and Wash
ington avenue, out Morgan street, and cir
Gle Forest Park.
''The franchise was 6. good one" said he,
but my lawyers thought 1t had become IN
valid l had about arranged to buy when
decided that too much risk was attached to
the purchase. 1t was provided in the old
franchise that work commence within
twelve months. To satisfy this. pillar was
