day and VIII nc Rushed,

The railroad crossing at Lakeside Tues
day was one of the busiest places in
HE city. when a large number Of section
men and a pile driver with a gang ar
rived to begin operations toward the
construction of an underpass.
The hearing before the railroad COM
II ssion which ordered the underpass to
be constructed was held in January. 1908.
and the commission ordered the pass to
be completed by the 18th of last Novcm-
bcr The railroad was. however. en-
gagged in building other passes along the
road and was not able to reach the pa So
at Lakeside until too late to complete
the work before cold weather set in. The
authorities. in preference to having the
road blocked all winter, allowed them
to wait until spring. The cost OF the
work Is estimated to be between SIS, 900
and $4,000, Go per cent. to he borne by
the railroad, 10 per cent. to he borne by
the city and the other o per cent. by
the State.
The work at present is largely In the
hands of the carpenters. Forty eight
piles each 30 feet in length will be driven
and after caps have been put on will
be used to support the rails while the
excavating is taking place. The side
track, which now runs over the pass,
is being transferred several rods to the
north so that only one track will run
over the pass It is planned to do the
work with the utmost despatch and the
carpenters will be through in q little
over week. The masons will then be
hurried up to complete the work.
Charles Conlon, assistant engineer of
the Rutland railroad, will arrive to-day
10 superintend the work.

him that If he wished to visit the capital

the situation at a glance. and in a few

he irradiated the Governor with such
genial warmth that the resignation was
withdrawn and the good old summer
