tween Clyde and Aurora, ILL.,, II plans
now being considered are carried out.
Surveyors are now in the field COM
piling a report on the matter, and ex-
perts have been assigned to estimate
the cost. Several weeks ago a delega-
ton from Riverside submitted a re-
quest that the company's tracks
through that suburb be elevated at an
early date. The party was assured
that an investigation would be made
and an answer sent later
After q conference among officials
of the road, 1t was decided to obtain
estimates on elevation work as far as
Aurora. 1t is said TO be practically
certain that the scheme will be car
ried out. Due to the immense amount
of work to be done, 1t is expected that
several years will elapse before the
Improvement is completed. The tracks
of the company are elevated at pres
ent from Chicago TO Clyde. Aurora.
which is the Converging point of all
branches of the Burlington, is 81 miles
from Chicago.
III the estimate and surveys provis-
ion will be made for the construction
of two additional tracks between Clyde
and Aurora, thus giving the company
four tracks between those points. The
plans also will provide for the elimin-
alton of street depressions and of 10
grade crossings.
/ At present there are 115 passenger
! and 40 freight trains operated daily
over the Burlington tracks between

provement is completed, it is said. the
