CITY AND SOUTHERN
NEAR OPEN BREACH

Continued From First Paga)
the city on behalf of the Southern
Railway, said Mr.. Gay. no was unwill-
ing to bind his road to the bargain
without first consulting his superioro
as 10 tho abandonment OF the demand
for tho sidewalk concession. He told
tho committee that he would get In
touch with the Washington authorities
last night. and be prepared to report
their answer this morning.
Upon the motion OF Councilman
Moore. the committee voted to meet
at Fourteenth and Main Streets at 10
o'clock this morning to hear Mr.. Gays
report II the report is satisfactory.
the committee will proceed upon an
inspection tour on tho south side OF
the river, where the Southern asks
for certain additional trackage rights.
According to city Engineer Boiling.
there will be no hitch in agreeing to
concessions for these and other privi-
leges asked by the railroad
The net result of yesterdays con-
ferences was TO bring the bridge ap-
proach problem a long step nearer
solution. Mr.. Gay told the committee
that his road would be reluctant to
force the matter into litigation, and
gave II reason to infer that. rather than
to go to this extreme, tho road would
concede to the city's demands in tho
sidewalk matter.
WILL MAKE POSSIBLE
OPENING OF SI1TY-FOoT STREET
II the Southern Railway agrees to
the city's demand on this point, the
way Will be clear for the transfer OF
twenty.foot strip OF railroad prop
erty extending from the abutment of
the bridge to Cary Street Tho dedi-
cation of this strip Will mako possible
tho Widening of Fourteenth Street to
sixty feet between these two points.
The widening Of Fourteenth Street
Will materially simplify the bridge ap-
proach problem. There will then re-
main only the problem of widening.
Fourteenth Street from Main to Cary
Streets, a project that, it is claimed, can
; be put through at a moderate cost.
In tho event that Fifteenth Street is
mado the official approach to the
bridge. that thoroughfare will be
widened to Dock Street. and Dock
Street will be made eighty feet wide
to Fourteenth Street.
