For all time the Grand avenue rail-
road crossing will probably be the
principal place Of entrance to and
egress from the business portion OF Lar
annie. All the ranch trade from west
Of the Big Laramie river except a small
portion that m ove the northern
bridge crosses at this point. With the
present tremendous traffic of the road,
there Is constant menace to life and
property Steps should be taken with
out unnecessary delay to build either
over or under the tracks. A subway
would be better, safer, more durable
and doubtless not much more expen-
sive than a viaduct.
Under present conditions the Union
Pacific is compelled to keep a watch
mar constantly on guard. with a sub
way or a viaduct, this would be IN.
necessary, thus effecting a saving that
would pay tolerably good interest on
the investment.
This Is a matter that both the city
administration and the commercial
club should give earnest attention.
