 The Chamber of Commerce committee made the recommendations that the railroad cut be abandoned. They favor ed the Whittlesey Idea of the elevated road going through Water street.
 President Mellen said that the com pany wanted to satisfy the city Tn their proposed work, and that if the cut was to be abandoned at all now Is the time. The road was willing to accept any plan which they and the city could come to an agreement upon. He stated, however, that the elevated plan would involve a very considerable in crease in expense over the plan which the rairoad had submitted.
 The proposed Water street plan was gone over in outline at the meeting. The railroad company will outline a new proposition which will be submit ted to the board of aldermen at their special meeting tomorrow evening.
