THAT N AVE. CROSSING
City Council Passing Ordinance
That Ry. Co. Build Viaduct.

Action taken by the city council at
the second regular session of the
month acts as a bar to further work
or Improvement by the NJ & ST. L..
Ry. Co. in the city of Oskaloosa. The
city council passed the ordinance re-
quiring the railway company to erect
a viaduCt in the face of the statement
that the erection of such a structure
was an impOsSibility. Following the
address of Mr.. George w. Sewers in
explanation of the communication the
ordinance committee made a report
recommending the non adoption of the
yiaduCt. Following meeting held
behind closed doors in one of the com.
mittee rooms, at which the ordinance
committee had evidently reconsidered
its action, they recommended the
adoption and passage of the same or
dinance. II was passed ON second and
final readings and will stand as the
law after publication. The ordinance
provides for the vacation of M avenue
to the use of the railway at q point
near the Yearly Meeting House, at
such a time as the company shall
have erected viaduct across its pro-
perty and it named September 1st as
the date for completion of the work
The council was plainly told that the
erection of viauuct was an impOssi-
bility and that the terms of the pro-
posed ordinance could not be met.
The letter relative to the viaduct
matter is as follows and is self-expIan.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb. II. 1913
Hon. S. V. Reynolds, Mayor, OskalOO,
sa, Iowa. Dear Sir: am enclosing
you herewith a copy of letter ! have
just written to your city engineer
with relation to the viaduCt ON NJ ave
nue., proposed in the ordinance which
was presented to the last meeting OF
the council. from which you will sec
that our engineers estimate the cost
at from $4,000 to $1,000, exclusive of
right-Ofway.
"ln the estimate the east approach
to the bridge commences ut the street
just east of tn old meeting house pro-
perty, the main part of the bridge eX-
tends from our eaSterly right-Of-way
line to the west line of the property
formerly owned by Mrs. Kissick, and
the west approach commences about
on the east line of Henderson's addi-
ton.
Pending the solution of this entire
matter we are placing crossing
Waterman on M avenue, as requested
by the council last Monday evening.
Mr.. Sewers and will both be present
at the next meeting of the council,
but | think | may safely say that the
company cannot accept the proposed
ordinance, but must again urge its re-
quest for the closing of NJ avenue up
on such terms as will not necesSitate
the abandonment of our plans for ad-
ditiOnal work at OskalOosa.
IN making estimate of the cost of
this Waduct no account was taken of
the damage which would occur to the

east side of our right-oG-way. think
there would be no damage to abutting
property upon the west side because
