FRANCHISE MUST

Short Line Railroad Company
Ready to Build Viaduct at
Ogden Any Time.

After a conference between officials of

business men of ogden. held here yester-
day concerning the building of the pro-
posed Yiaduct across the railroad yards
at Twenty-fourth street, the railroad peo-
pie intimated that they We're ready to
commence the construction as soon as the
city council passed the franchise
Vice President and General Manager W.
II. Bancroft, Chief Engineer William Ash
ton and General Counsel P L. Williams o.
the Short Line came up from Salt Lake
yesterday morning. They were met at the
Union depot by a committee composed of
+. J. Kiesel. Joseph Scowcroft. William
Van Allen, G. ]. Kelly, City Attorney j.
e. Bagley and Secretary l. l. Reynolds
of the Weber club. As soon as greetings
We're exchanged the party repaired to the
site OF the proposed viaduct, where plans
for the same were discussed al length.
Especial attention was given the matter
of approaches to the structure which,
after all, Is the main contention of the
whole proposition. The railroad people
are DESTROYS of starting the eastern APP
proach about midway between Wall and
Lincoln avenues on Twenty-fourth street
and to this there is some strong objec-
ton.
one of the concerns most opposed to ex-
tending the approach Ip TWenty-fourtll
street is the Rio Grande Western rail-
road. The objections are based on the
fact that if this is done 1t will greatly
interfere with their proposed new freight
depot, for which they have already pur-
