OFFER NE NJ PLAN
FOR SUBWAY At
NE W CARLISLE
Railroads Proposal Cuts Cost
But Does Not EIim-
mate Curves.
(By a STAN Correspondent.)

NEW CARLISLE, Ind, April 20.
Attorneys for the New York Cen
tral railway today renewed their
battle over the proposed Lincoln
highway subway under the three
railroads here by presenting a new
plan TO members of the state pub
lie service commission hearing the
case in the town hall here.
A. VI. CUrrier. assistant engineer
for the railway, testified that the
new plan would save about $4,000
as it would cost $190,7OO in com
parison with S345.5OO, the present
estimated cost of the construction
ordered by the public service COM
mission in July. 1916.
Curves Not Eliminated.
Under the new plan the highway
would pass under the railway at an
angle of 50 degrees with the tracks,
a concession of SO degrees from the
original request of the railroads.
The plan for which the commission
ers of St. Joseph county appear to
be holding ont provides for an angle
of 32 degrees between the tracks
and the highway, which would give
an unobstructed view through the
subway with no curves. The plan
as submitted today would require
three curves, making il impossible
for vehicles approaching the sub
way from either end TO see those ap-
preaching from the other.
Interurbans Plead Poverty.
The plea. that they were hard up
and could not borrow money with
which to make improvements on ac-
count of their poor credit was en-
tered by the interurban railways af-
fected
f. ]. Louis Meyer, counsel for the
Chicago, Lake Shore and South
Bend (South Shore) line told the
public service commission that his
company's credit was so badly af-
fected THAI its borrowing power was
gone. a statement in which he was
followed by c. y. WilcoXen, presi-
dent of the road r. r. Smith, gen
eral manager of the Chicago, South
Bend & Northern Indiana railway
asserted his company had lost SILL
coo during the past year.
County Atty. Stuart MacKibbin,
however, pointed out that three
years had already been wasted in
pickering over the subway project
at New Carlisle and urged that i'm
mediate action should be taken.
