NEW MICHIGAN CENTRAL
DEPOT APPROACH WILL
COST CITY ABOUT 100000
Times Makes Careful Estimate
Based On the Assess
ment Figures
THREE BLOCKS REQUIRED
In Addition To Original Cost
City Will Have To Make.
Big Outlay For Grading

II will cost the city at least 1891 !
065 TO buy the property between
Michigan-ave and the new $2,0O0.OOO
Michigan Central depot-the property
which some OF the aldermen OF the
west side wards are planning 10 con
vert into a park-like approach to the
depot. II may cost as high as SAL
42O. The actual cost, II the plan most
favored Is carried out, Will probably
be somewhere between the two
figures.
Since the plan was broached by
Aid O'Brien, OF the Tenth ward,
there have been many estimates OF
the probable cost. varying from $780,
900 to $500,000 The last step taken
by the council committee on street
opening In considering the project
several weeks ago was TO have the
city engineer instructed to draw q
map OF the property with an estimate
OF the cost OF the land needed and,
the improvements to be made. The
engineers office Is not now working
on the plan. the statement being
made that the office was never in
structed to get out the plan and esti-
mate.
To obtain an accurate estimate or
the cost of the undertaking to the city
The Times looked up the assessments
against every lot and building which
will be required TO carry out the plan.
II is proposed to condemn all the
property from Fourteenth-ave. TO
Seventeenth-st and from Michigan
ave-, on the north, to DalZelle-st. and
the depot on the south.
Several plans we're submitted by the
city plan commission to the aldermen
proposing TO cut q wide thoroughfare
from the depot directly to Michigan
ave. THIS thoroughfare would cut
through the intervening lots on a
slant and the aldermen did not con-
slider the plan satisfactory. They
want two or three entire blocks con-
demned. The position OF the depot
is such tfat portion Of ID would be
obstructed to the view from Michigan
ave-, II only two blocks are devoted
to the approach. The plan most fav-
ored now Is to condemn all three
blocks.
The assessment on the land In the
three blocks Is $118,l20 The assess
ment on the buildings Is S102, $50, the
total being $20.710. The total assess
ment represents, conservatively. two
thirds of the actual cash value Of the
property This would mean that II
the city could purchase all the land
and buildings at cash value, II would
have to-pay $331,065. There are evi-

mihutes WORK.
CHICAGO, June 13.-The charges OF
bribery and attempted tampering with
delegates brought by the Taft forces
and challenged by the Roosevelt. mau-
ayers, overshadowed all else in the
minds OF the Republican party chief
tains here today. Following the en-
phatic denial OF Senator Dixon. FOR
the Roosevelt forces, that there was
the slightest foundation fo- the
charges, came a concerted demand
that Congressman Mckinley cite spe.
cific instances instead OF generally al.
legged facts. This demand Mckinley,
II was understood, was considering.
and further statement on the mat-
ter was looked for.
The charges, coupled with the
action of the national committee In
throwing out all OF the Roosevelt. dele
gates up to the present. has infuriated
the Roosevelt men to such a pinch
that they have no hesitancy In declar-
Ing that IL necessary they will resort
to force TO get their rights"
An extended conference which last
ed well into this morning and which
begun last night at o'clock was re-
newed today. Every one OF the big
leaders OF the Roosevelt organization
participated. II was directed that
word would be sent Col. Roosevelt
that he was needed here next week.
There is littl edoubt in the minds Of
the Roosevelt forces that their chief
will ventually decide TO come here
and lead the fight in person. Francis
j. Heney and Fov. Johnson both de-
clared today that they knew positively
that Roosevelt was coming. That
was the reason they said, thai the
contemplated big mass meeting. OF the
Roosevelt forces had been put over
until Monday Roosevelt, they said,
would come here by that date and
would tell the people of the country
geenrally, and the delegates particu-
larly. that he intended getting his
rights II he had to fight for them.
Senator Dixon, Roosevelt's manager,
declined TO discuss the report and in
sisted he saw no reason yet for the
colonel to come To this city. But the
rank and file of the Roosevelt. men
are already preparing to welcome him.
The Taft forces expect Roosevelt
TO come here. They also expect that
he will swoop down on the hall with
MS ueleBdtoS VINO nave Deeu JcrOWu
out by the national committee and de-
mand that they be restored to the
roll And whether the colonel Is here
or not, Bill Finn, Heney, Johnson.
Cecil Lyon and Gov. Hadley, as field
captains for the Roosevelt forces, will
insist on sweeping all before them
and the national committee and the
Taft leaders are preparing for any
thing that may develop.
For hours today the Taft meE con-
tinued in consultation. William
Barnes, Jr., who has been selected to
match wits with Finn and TO check
mate any more that may be made by
the Roosevelt cohorts. talked things
over with PenFese- Crane, -MnlXane,
Stevenson and other Taft men. They
all agreed that the Roosevelt forces
would try TO seize the temporary or
ganization from the moment Victor
Rosewater as chairman OF the ma
tional committee called il 10 order.
