Howard was defeated in his struggle

City Will Now Have Trouble I'm Open

Is TwO-sTORY FRAME HOUSE

Property owners interested In the
opening of Kentucky avenue from
Eleventh street to Twelfth street,
across the railroad tracks, are watch
ing with interest what appears to lie
a checker game between the city and
Illinois Central railroad. From indi-
cations. much to the regret of those
interested, the railroad company
slipped man in ahead and blocked
the city's move. tH
Several weeks ago a motion was
made in the general council to imme-
diately open Kentucky avenue from
Eleventh street to Twelfth street
Only two small hollows presented oh
stacles, of coarse, excepting the OBJ
iections the road might have. II
looked easy enough, and an investi-
cation was ordered.
The next move made was by the
railroad. Without ceremony or ad-
vance bulletins, the road placed a
corps of laborers to work lacking up
the old dispatchers' Offices, a two
story frame. located at the north end
of the south Yards. The buildings
were set over on the tracks and pull
ed down to Eleventh street and Ken
lucky avenue on the railroad prop
erty. Today laborers are setting it
ON foundations-away from the
tracks and In the middle of the
street.
what il MEANS" property owner
declared this morning. sis that the
railroad has checked the city in open
ing Kentucky avenue. This. at
least, seems TO be the opinion of
those Interested in the opening Of the
avenue"
The question to be solved In the
municipal boards, IL the street is to
be opened. is IL the city will be will
ing to pay the price TO condemn the
property now that the house is on II.
The road will probably claim a great
deal more damage in setting its dis
patchers' Offices aside, or tearing the
building down to open the street
than the mere property would cost
had the house not been on it.
