the engineers and to which Mr.. Elder
has always referred in discussing this
question shows that the bridge track
is swung around in a II degree curve
into the westerly track of the two in
the ordinance. These tracks cross the
bridge track about forty feet north
of Main street, and the bridge track
is then taken down that west track
to point about south some ninety
or more feet and then leads off on an
entirely new track into the Union de-
pos.
Waving any contention as to who
would control this new track from
where it leads off into the Union de-
pot, Mr.. Green was enough of a rail
road man to know, as SO does Mr..
Elder, that this put every road coming
into Keokuk from the east or north
into the hands of one railroad com.
pany, and l protest that that is not

Laughs at Barney Case.


Mr.. Elder cites the Barney deci-
sion and we must assume that his
legal department have correctly adj
vised him as to that, but nowhere
does it go the extent of granting abb
solute control of the levee by one
company.
But then as between friends what is
the Barney decision anyway.
Mr. Elder at first told NE that every
track on the levee must go and whcN
I suggested that the American Rice
and Cereal company had a pretty
good business and was entitled :.
some consideration he replied the,
must go, but for some good reas. =,

now proposes to allow these tracks
to remain but cut all others SO tina,

done by flying machines.
If he is anxious to abate the switch
ing above Main street, why not invoke
Section 341 of the Revised Ordinances
found on page 261.
The fact as to that ls that the pc
liceman on duty have said time AM
again that they had reported to the
chief and that ended it.
AS to the necessity for the eleva
ton of these tracks from three tc
ten feet across the levee l assert thai

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Mayor Elder in his lengthy state
ment in your issue Sunday morning
relative to the petition lodges the is
sue raised in my referendum petit
ton.
The facts in the matter are simply
these: Some time during December,
to be exact, December 18th, the city
council passed special ordinance No.
1888. Under this ordinance, which in it
self, shows that it becomes effective
ten days after it is signed by the rail-
road companies, the exact wording is
as follows: This ordinance shall
take effect ten days after such &C
ceptance by the railroad companies
and upon its publicantion in The
Daily Gate City and Constitution.
Democrat and such publication to be
paid for by the said Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy Railroad company"
rights unrestricted are granted to the
Burlington Railroad company in that
they are given the absolute control OF
all trackage rights between the north
erly line of Concert street and Bank
street, thus giving them everything
that the city can give and the only re-
turn is the abatement of the switch
ing nuisance above Bank street, a
something that is already prohibited
by ordinance and further something
that has been given to the city at
regular intervals every five years
since was child and each time some
valuable consideration was given to
the Burlington.

In Sundays issue of The Gate City,
Mayor Elder has seen fit to lug me
into his controversy with Mr.. Green
and l would like to offer few re-
marks. The mayor forgetting that
Thrice armed is he whose cause is
just" goes out of his way to befog
the contention with Mr.. Green by
bringing in subjects not part of that
controversy just as some pettifogging
lawyers do when they have a poor
case or do not know %sat to do with
the one on hand.
He charges Mr.. Green with being
"maliciously false" and ! can hardly
believe that any fair minded man in
Keokuk reading Mr.. Green's petition
as it is set out in the paper contain
ing this interview can find anything
malicious in it and in the light Of the
admissions made by his honor any
thing false. Evidently his honor lost
his temper forgetting THAT whom the

mad and goes farther to say that
it is the work of politicians.

He knows perfectly we'll that all my

Green May Take Political Dip.


Now Mr.. Green has never been ac
cused of being a politician, but it
does not require very lively imagi-
nation to see him taking little poll
tics ION the side at the election this
spring.
Now let me recite some facts that
are matters of record although they
are at variance with a statement cred
tied to a commissioner.
In 1868 the Des Moines Valley raj.
road was granted right of way
across the ..levee''-Water street to
the foot of Main street.
An ordinance in that year granted
the bridge right of way to juno
ton with that track. These ordi.
nances have never been repealed. In
1871 the records of the city council
will show that two different con
tracts were made with the Wabash
railroad for tracks in Keokuk. These
have never been cancelled. Others
can be found, | believe, giving rights
to the Wabash and T., P. & W., but
these are sufficient to prove that 9th
er roads have some rights besides
| those the commissioner cites.
