City Officials and Railroads Try to Aere
- lInor Dian T. 49,.


City Engineer Andrew Rinker went to
st. Paul today to arrange for a meeting
with the engineers and other officials of
the Milwaukee and Northern Pacific rail-
ways to discuss plans for separating the
grade crossings at University avenue and
Oak street SE. The meeting will be held
next Friday.
The purpose is to arrive at some def
mite plan for the solution of the problem
which shall be acceptable to the railroad
companies Of the city. It has been de-
cided that the tracks shall be elevated
and that University avenue and Oak
street shall be lowered. The only point of
difference is the height Of elevation of
the tracks, as the railways, on account
of the grades, do not wish to go as high
as the city desires It 1s believed that
compromise satisfactory to all con-
cerned will be proposed to the council
within a. short time and possibly on Fri
day.
