WABASH LIKELY TO
COME To TIME ON
GRADE SEPARATION
ROADS ENGINEER WILL RECON-
MEND THAT THE COMPANY
AGREE TO PROPOSED WORK ON
THE EAST SIDE.

Threats OF retaliatory measures by
the city in the case OF any railroad
that does not agree TO the separation
OF grades al John r.. Brush and Beau
bien-sts. this year. were made In the
meeting OF the council grade separa-
ton committee, Wednesday morning.
We want peace, but We will adopt
war measures II We have TO" declared
Aid. Koenig.
Aid. Owen and other members OF
the committee declared that they
expect to reach an agreement with
the Wabash railroad, which is the only
Cb9tructionist now, without using
harsh means. A. .. Cunningham, chief
engineer of that road, had come up
from st. Louis TO talk the situation
over with the committee, and he as
serted before the meeting closed that
he will present the matter favorably
To thed irectors Of his road.
Cunningham chief argument was
that the Wabash had no estimate To
go on. To prepare this will require
from four to six weeks. and all ma
terials would have TO be ordered after
such survey had been approved.
This might delay the separation until
next year.
The Michigan Central. Grand
Trunk and Lake Shore roads have ex-
pressed themselves az willing 10 sign
this agreement without any survey

not the Wabash. likewise"

ply. Costs are different In every

To get these separations. the COM
mittee had agreed 10 let the agreement

by the board.
AT 100000 a year. you will be
dead and moss growing on your tomhs
before the grades OF the city OF De.
troit are separated" declared Hally.
He is firmly OF the opinion that the
legislature can confer on the city
power TO compel the railroads 10
separate grades. There has been talk
among the aldermen OF asking the
legislature for such power and this re-
quest may be made as soon as an east
side agreement for this year is made.
Engineer Cunningham declared that

arated next year according 10 the gen.

present TO represent the Michigan

and Louis G.. Stanley for the Grand

Most OF the morning was taken up
with the statement OF the opposing
counsel. as to what they would claim
during the hearing.
The railroads made It plain that
they would attack the constitutionality
OF the order on several grounds. They
claim that the new schedule Is un'
reasonable and discriminating. The
reduction In the rate under the new
order is about 40 per cent. the rail
roads claim, and IL is unreasonable
not alone for the money involved, but
because OF the mixing up of freight u
will cause in passenger trains. The
new rate Is below the freight rate. II
is claimed, and discriminates In favor
Of the large Wholesale houses and
against the smaller merchant.
Ii is claimed that the handling oil
baggage on a passenger train Is vol
untary service, that railroad passenger
trains are not common carriers. and
could cease the hauling OF baggage on
passengers altogether II they so dc
sired Being voluntary. II was stated
that the railroads could charge what
they wish. or do the work for nothing
Ii will be claimed. also. that the
penalties for an infraction of the new
order are 80 severe as to preclude
the possibility OF making test case
of the order, which, It will be claimed
Is sufficient to nullify the order
Mr.. Lucking, I'm his answer. said he
was prepared to show that the order
Is constitutional. He said there had
been in force in Indiana for two year:
an order much the same as the pro
posed order for Michigan. which made
the rate there almost so per cent lower
than the proposed Michigan rate. He
claimed that the Michigan roads
which would be affected by the pro
posed order were all doing business In
Indiana, and not one OF them had
made complaint against the order in
that state.
