DEPRESS GRAND TRUNk

Noting an article in one of our

vocating the depression of the Grand

company TO build a double track
when tracks are depressed, wish to
urge the carrying out of this work
and doing it now
was intimately acquainted with
Mayor Goetz, under whose admin
istration the track separation fund
was started. and made a special trip
to New York City, investigating the
depressed tracks there. as his re-
quest.
Mayor Goetz's decision and the
opinion of all his advisors. so far as
know, at that time, was that de-
preston would be the cheapest. the
least detrimental to property inter
ests in the city, and the best way
of solving this problem.
There is a natural fall of about
Is feet from the crossing Of the
Grand Trunk and the New York
Central track 10 the Grand Trunk
bridge across the ST. Joseph river.
This could be increased by lowering
the Grand Trunk bridge. which is
far above the hisEh water mark in
the river Concrete~walls could be
built on each side OF the suway. and
it could be arched over with reen-
forced concrete nearly all the way.
and when the work is so done the
damage TO property on .he street by
the Grand Trunk tracks would be
almost nothing; further, it will more
than double the value of property
along this street as under the pres
ent conditions the railroad cuts at
least half the value from the prop
erty. II the tracks We're elevated
there would be a grade crossing of
the Grand Trunk and the New York
Central lines Just west Of Division
street; this would be a great burden
to both roads and 10 the public
II the Grand Trunk could be
forced 10 build its tracks and the
bridge farther up the river. the
same trouble would be encountered.
and il would be only taking the
railroad out of one part OF the city
and putting II IN another. where
property owners would object To hav-
ing il just as strongly as they now
do The earth from the subway on
Division st. could be used i'm elevat-
/ ing the New York Central tracks
and If ever the city succeeded in
having union depot il could be
located az the crossing Of these two
systems.
Hoping the city officers will push
this work along AT this present op-
perfume time. and do il with force.

him feel that his former kindness

not thrown away. Real fidelity
