Recommendations that railroad-grade
crossings in the city be abolished. and es-
Inmates Of the expenditures necessary In
the construction OF viaducts over the va
r.ous railway lines entering the city. were
the gist Of the report made by Charles
varrelmann. Street Commissioner. TO the
House OF Delegates last night
The report was made by Commissioner
yarreImann In response to a resolution
passed by the House Of Delegates on Sep
tember g. soon after the disaster at the
Sarah street and Wabash railway tracks
crossing, In which seven persons were
killed
Commissioner Varrelmann began his re-
Dor, by stating tha, the abolishment OF
the grade crossings was feasible He also
Informed the House of Delegates that no.
tees had been sent TO all railroads In
ssructinc them TO erect all safety appli-
ances at the various crossings.
The estimates furnished by Commfs-
s,oner varrelmann show that between
s. GO 60 and 6. 10000 would cover the cost
OF abolishing the grade crossings where
the traffic Is heaviest and where human
lie Is most in danger.
The most important point for the abol-
ishment OF the grade crossing is at Ewing
avenue. where the Wabash. Missouri Pa
cific. Frisco and Terminal railways cross
Thirty-four tracks cross Ewing avenue at
this point. The estimated cost 10 the city
OF ccndemning the property necessary to
building the v;aduct IS 5000. while the
ccs, Of the viad'Ict is estimated at s-l".-
o. The conditions at this point are not
considered especially favorable from an
engineering view TO the abo!ishmen; OF
the grade crossing. but Commissioner
varrelmann says II can be done
FAvoRs LOWERING TRACKS.
Al the Compton avenue and Chouteau
avenue crossings the conditions are con-
sidered favorable. and the cost Of con-
demnIng property will not be nearly SO
great az at Ewing avenue The Compton
viaduct would cost approximately $4,000.
and the Chou;eau viaduct S3o.oe- The
Tower Grove avenue and Old Manchester
road crossings could best be done away
with by lowering the railway tracks and
slightly eleyating the street grade. Com
missioner varrelmann also thinks that the
crossings at Mckee. Eager and shaw
avenues and Kings Highway boulevard
could be rernedied by lowering the rail-
road tracks and raising the streets.
The raising Of the street grade. he says.
would interfere with the switching facili-
ties Of the various manufacturing plants
In the vicinity o: those streets. but could
be easily remedied- total OF $4,000 Is
considered suficient for this work
Plans for a viaduct over the Sarah street
crossing are being drawn In the Street
