CONF FERENCE HELD
ON WADUCT MATTER
"Force" Ordinance Will
Probably Be Ready for
Action Tuesday

The commissioners held a conference
yesterday morning on the First avenue
viaduct proposition and they stated yes
terday afternoon that the ordinance was
now lining up into shape and would n
doubt be adopted at the meeting Tues
day.
City Attorney Romaine Boyd is still
working upon some legal phases of the
ordinance, which was drafted by the
city engineering department, and indica-
tions are that 1t will not be ready to
act upon today.
This is the ordinance by which the city
officials will attempt to force the rail-
roads to build a viaduct at First avenue
and Twenty seventh street without any
cost whatever to the city. The Viaduet
win be a unit of the general viaduct and
subway scheme as laid out some time
ago by City Engineer Kirkpatrick and
which was turned down by the railroads.
Commissioner Lane stated yesterday
that he was in favor of the viaduct ord1-
nance If it complies with the general
