Louis grade crossing on the Oak Hill
and Carondelet branch of the Mis-
souri, Pacific by the subway method
is approximately $27S,4G7, according
to estimates filed by J. L. Harrop, en-
gineer of the public service commits

The plan OF separation is to de-
press the street from four to six feet

tracks enough to give clearance of
IA or 16 feet 1t was found that the
cost Of depressing the streets by via
ducts would exceed 100000. This

the separation of these grade cross
ings under the plans prepared by En-
gineer Harrop. He said the crossings
