new line thru this city was passed last
night. TIL ordinance fixed the eleva-
ton of the track, some of the street
crossings being more than five feet
above the present grade.
For several months the Great West
ern people have been seeking this or
dinance Mt the hands of the council,
but owing to the public opposition to
the high embankment, they have here
tofore been unable to command the
necessary majority. The election of
ex-County Clerk C. j.. Brodie, "a the
special election Monday, and the re-
covery of Councilman III. B. Kelley from
his recent severe illness, assured the
proper majority. and the meeting was
called forthwith.

sion was telegraphed to headquarters
Immediately, and a large force of work
men are expected soon to begin the
construction of the steel girder bridge
across the Cedar. This work has been
at a standstill for several weeks as a
refusal by the council to ratify the
grade elevation at the crossings OF the
would have necessitated an en-
tire change of plan and h erection of
a different style of bridge.
