PROPERTY OWNERS KICK OVER
IGNORANCE IN ENGINEERS OFFICE

The board of public works has in.
timated that the matter will be taken
into the courts to decide who shall
pay for regarding the avenue or
whether the street car tracks shall
be raised.
The street car company answers
with the statement that the legal
department asserts that the courts
will sustain the engineer in laying
the tracks to the established grade.
A communication to this effect will
be sent the board by the company to-
morrow or Monday.
All along where the street car COM
pany is laying the new tracks on
the North Side there are similar COM
plants from property owners who
have had the streets ruined in front
of their property through the action
of the Washington Water Power COM
pany.
Tracks Raised.
At Indiana and Cedar a reverse
condition exists. Instead of lowering
the tracks at this crossing, they have
been raised. forming an obstruction
to teams and pedestrians which Sc
riously interferes with the traffic at
that point.

If the tracks were laid on the present
grade 1t would be in the power of any
property owner on the street to en-
force the established grade. which
would mean that later the rails would
have to be torn out and the track

The question considered by the
board this morning is as to who will
have to pay the cost of regarding the
street, or whether the street car COM
pany can be forced to raise the tracks
to conform to the present grade.
At this time the board Is depending
upon the law which provides for lay
ing the tracks flush with the grade.
The car company Is depending upon
the engineers showing that the street
is higher than the legal grade. The
property owners are depending upon
nothing but the fact that their once
pretty driveway has been ruined and
that they are likely to be called upon
to pay once more fore the careless
ness of official taxeaters who don't

Property owners on Maxwell ave-
nue., protesting against the work done
by the Washington Water Power
company in laying the new car tracks
on the street, have precipitated
three-cornered fight which is likely to
result in expensive litigation and
which exposes a careless administra-
ton of the affairs Of the city engi-
neers office and the board of public
works in the past.
The trouble arises over the conten-
tion of the Water Power company's
engineer that the new tracks are laid
on the established grade of the ave-
nue.. The property owners declare the
tracks are below the accepted grade
and have petitioned the board of pub
lie works to order the street car COM
pany to tear out the tracks and relay
them at higher grade to conform
with the present grade Of the avenue.
When the franchise for the laying
of the new tracks was granted the
council provided for the laying of
the same at the grade of the avenue.
This is also provided for in the char
ter. the law stating plainly that the
tracks are to be laid flush with the
grade of the street.
Street Not On Proper Grade.
When the engineer of the Water
Power company ran his line on Max
we'll avenue from Monroe street west
he found. according to the company's
report. that the street was from four
to six inches higher than the estab-
lished grade. The street had been
graded and accepted some four or
was noticed that In browning the
avenue the contractor had raised the
grade.
The street car company's engineer
decided the street was higher than
the established grade and without
giving notice to the board of public
works or the property owners the
company went ahead and cut down
the grade through the center of the
street to place the roadbed on level
with the legal grade established some
years ago. regardless OF the fact that
the street was finished and accepted
by the property owners and the city.
Street Ruined.
The result has been that Maxwell
avenue west of Monroe street has
been ruined for a driveway and where
there was once we'll kept, nicely
graded avenue there are now two
ridges running along either side Of
the street car tracks and in the CEN
ter small ravine with the tracks
four to six inches lower than the re-
mainder of the street.
When the property owners petition
ed the board Of public works to force
the street car company to restore the
street grade the matter was referred
to the company and the answer was
returned this morning to the effect
that the tracks were laid at the legal
grade and the small sized mountain
ranges along the avenue were the re-
suit of a careless inspection on the
part of the city engineers office when
