COUNTY BOARD IGNORES
RAILROADS PROTEST
Contractor Is Ordered to Reduce 500
% Grade to Underground Crossing

e. e. Sandeen, having the contract
to convert the Rice street crossing of
the 500 railroad tracks. from a grade
to an underground, was told to pro-
with the work, Notwithstanding
the protest of the railroad company.
: The 500 had requested that the
commissioners delay the work of ex-
cavating until the steel necessary to
carry h tracks over the roadway
could be secured, but Sandeen pro-
tested that IL this was done he would
be a heavy loser. Sandeen contended
that If he was commanded to suspend
operations he would hold the county
for his loss.
1t was concluded by the commits
sioners that it. would be best not to
act on the matter, leaving the die
cussiOn between the contractor and the
railroad company.
George Roberts complained that his
Hand swa being used in creating the
new crossing, but did mo push his
claim further after an interview with
the country surveyor. John Kurkow-
ski complained that the work. son the
I grade had caused his hay meadows
be flooded. Commissioner. Powers
was instructed to see that pipes are
sPfaced to keep the water off the Kur-

Estimated Expenses for 1905
VIII Exceed Those of This
Year by 100000

In the 1906 budget submitted to the
county commissioners yesterday Coun-
ty Auditor Krahmer sets forth that
under the present management Of
county affairs the sum to be raised
by taxation must be largely Increased.
and as there are a number of requests
for increased appropriations from
other sources to be acted upon, it is
likely that the mount demanded by
the commissioners to run the county
for 1905 will largely exceed the amount
collected in 1904.
The estimate submitted by the
county auditor, which makes no pro-
vision for the redemption of Sill, 900
