OPPOSED TO SPENDING
MORE ON GRADE SEPARATION
Michigan Central Engineer Says
Road Will Not Consent To
Eighteenth Ward Work

CHIEF Engineer, G.. II. Webb, OF the
Michigan Central railroad, informed
THE council committee on grade sep
arations, Saturday, that his company
could not afford to become a party
TO a proposed agreement with the city
for an annual expenditure OF 100000
in separating grades in the Eighteenth
ward. A. o. Cunningham, OF st. Louis,
chief engineer for the Wabash rail-
road, and A. l.. Sarvey, In charge OF
bridge work for the Michigan Gen.
trail, were also present II was agreed
that the railroads which would come
under the agreement should give their
formal reply TO the proposition by
June Is. The railways are already
under agreement to spend $500, 900
yearly in grade separation work.
Mr.. Webb told the committee very
forcibly what attitude his company
took toward the city In the matter OF
separating grades.
THE city asks us for numerous con
cessions and l don't see why the city
shouldn't concede something to us,
he said. I'VE have bene put to the
trouble OF changing plans after work
has been under way TO comply with
the requests OF your engineer. These
alterations were not mandatory but
we agreed TO them. Changes in the
Baker.st. and Fifteenth-st. crossings
cost US $1,000.
I'VE ere willing to extend the ter.
ritory over which the railroads now
spend 100000 annually in separating
grades but we can't afford TO spend
more. Outside of the money being
spent in building the new Michigan
Central depot we are spending $500.
