WILL BUILD INTO The CITY
C., c. & @. Ask Permission
to Construct its Lines
Across the Streets

There is every evidence that the c.,
@. & o. railroad is preparing to build
its line through the city. At injecting
of the city council Monday night At
torney j. Norment Powell, general
counsel for the road, asked the city to
grant the road the privilege of crossing
all the streets and alleys running north
and south between the Sloan land, Oak
Veneer mills and the Harris Mfg. Co.
He also asked the privilege Of closing
certain streets, if ever dedicated as
such, and opening Others in their stead,
and of widening other streets, and ask
ed the city to assist in this process by
purchasing or condemning a ten-foot
strip on one side of Cherry street, they
agreeing to give the same amount on
the other side, making the street so
feet wide. The railroad will swing
down through the Joe Lyle farm and
parallel the Southern to the foundry
and then parallel the Narrow Gauge to
the present operated track at the juno
ton. Special ordinances were pre-
sented to carry out the requests and
were passed upon their first reading.
With some modification and safeguards
they will pass in due season and active
work on the construction of the line
through the city will begin and all the
buildings from the foundry to the Har.
ris factory will be RACED TO make way
for the main line and side tracks.
