OPPOSING PLAN OF
BELT RAILROAD
c., 81. a O.. VIII Resist Present Plans
Of the New Burlington
Belt Line.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: Mr.. w. D.
Eaton, of the legal department of the
Burlington railroad, has submitted TO
/ the city council statement OF that
company's position regarding the pro-
/ posed ordinance to be acted upon by
+. the council, granting the Burlington
Belt Line railroad the right to con-
Fstruct tracks from It's river bridge to
cross the switching tracks to the ter
minals on Front street,. Such a track,
says Mr.. Eaton, would not only result
in heavy damage to the Burlington
railway company, but would seriously
impair the use OF many of its facili-
ties. 1T would Mr.. Eaton states,
virtually destroy our freight and
switch yards and our ability to care
for the business interests of the
town" Mr.. Eaton points out that the
track would pass directly over Is or
20 OF the Burlington switch tracks,
and that the provisions of the Iowa
statutes, requiring full stop of all
trains crossing over the tracks OF an
other road, would practically block
trafflc.
To avoid any possible misunder-
standing, Mr.. Eaton states that az am
authorized to state thai. any attempt
to exercise any rights proposed in
this ordinance will be resisted by the
company to the limit. =
Mr.. Eaton furthermore points out
that the cost of constructing a rail-
road track through the Burlington
switch yards. including frogs, ETC..
would be so heavy that the new COM
pany could we'll afford to build a
bridge of its own at the north limits
of the city, and thus secure an exit
from the city without impairment to
the Burlington property or involving
the companies in expensive litigation.
Mr.. Eaton suggests the latter propo.
sition as satisfactory solution OF the
problem.
