COMMERCIAL AVENUE.

That the Commercial avenue I'M

way must be conceded, no matter
what Judge Dewey's decision shatl
be upon the several important ques
fi0ns that have been so deliberately
presented to him by the attorneys.
nc tie decision Ia for the city then an
appeal probably will be taken to a
higher court, which may be done at
any time until April. and then IL may
be year or two before the case is
reached and decided in the upper
court II he decides against the city
which seems more likely in view ot
some of the points that have been
laisea) then the paper work for the
improvement-th petition, ordinance,
assessment. etc.-must be done over
again, with attendant loss Of time.
But the delays resulting from a de-
cision against the city BY Judge
Dewey would not be nearly as long as
would those resulting from decision
for the city with the consequent ap-
real to the higher court
The main question at issue, which
has precipitated the trouble, seems to
be whether there shall be two
tracks on Commercial avenue or only
one, from Second street to Thirty
fourth street The city authorities
have declared there shall be two, the
railroad companies declare they can
not afford to lay a second track at
this time. The merits of the contro-
yersy need not be gone into here,
beyond saying that, to lay mind, the
\ city's case seems to be weak in sew.
N aral vital points.
I'd may be admitted that property
owners en- Commercial avenue would
have some interest In having two
tracks laid now, because ii would re-
atlee their improvement assessments
somewhat: but they are amply pro
tsctad In this respect, in the railroad

provides that IL the company shall
