TO SETTLE GRADE
SEPARATION PROBLEM

That the s230.00O already spent by
the city on grade separations is only
about one-tenth OF the total that 1t
will cost the municipality TO separate
the grades here is the belief OF r. j.
NJ. Hally, assistant corporation coun-
sci. For that reason the Junction
ave. and Greenwood-ave. cases are be-
Ing taken TO the supreme court to de-
termine the law in all cases before
the bulk of the work is taken up.
One OF the points TO be raised by
the city In the Junction-ave case Is
that parties residing along an unpaved
street canont recover for damages
through the lowering OF the street, be-
cause no grade has ever been legally
established for an unpaved street. The
question of the amount OF damage
chargable to the city through incon-
venience TO property owners from the
raising OF railroad tracks is also to
be argued and probably settled. Hally
holds that the railroads can build a
structure on their right-ofway with
out the citys being laid liable for
damages to property owners who are
bothered or prevented from putting i'm
spur track facilities.
