ASKED
FOR OPINIONS

The intentions and requirements
of the existing railways of the
city, or those about to come in,
in the matter of going over or un-
der the new city bridges to be
built here will be ascertained be-
fore the Monroe street bridge plans
are finally adopted. This step was
agreed upon yesterday by Mayor
Moore and City Engineer Ralston
and communications will be ad-
dressed to the various lines inter
ested.
This move has been advocated
from the beginning by many citi-
zens who have appeared before the
city council in it's meeting as a
committee of the whole. The most
aggressive advocates of concrete
bridges at those meetings seemed
to think it unnecessary to delay
action on this account, but it now
appears that the entrance or exit
of new railroads into the city will
be taken into consideration.
