The Al, 2 and lines are con-
templated by raising the Northern
Pacific and North Coast tracks ten
feet. On the Al line the wall would
be dispensed with by moving the
Northern Pacific tracks fifteen feet
and the North Coast forty-five feet
west of the present Northern Pacific
location. The B. and lines are
contemplated by all the tracks be-
ing at the level of the present North
ern Pacific track.
Engineer Noble testified that the
estimated cost of raising the North
ern Pacific grade through Union gap
on level track would be, below the
gap, $16,774 and above the gap
$3.50, which would include the ex-
cavation in the gap, and to raise the
track up without reference to the
wagon road or North Coast road. He
stated that the highway undercross-
ing north of the gap for three tracks
would cost s5,5S5, for two tracks
about $4,000.
The court asked Attorney Groscup
for the Northern Pacific If the North
Coast built their line So feet west of
the present center line of the North
ern Pacific track and the county road
was placed on the east OF their track
there would not be plenty of room
for the three tracks, the county road
and what other improvements the
Northern Pacific might wish to make
He stated that there would be
ample room for the work contemp-
lated at this time, but that they OBJ
jected to the county road being on
the east Of their racks, as hey would
have no chance for expansion be-
tween the railroad and the high
way.
It is expected that all testimony
will be in by this evening and the
cases delivered to the court for a de-
