BOOB DEFENDS HIS BILLS
IN GRADE CROSSING MATTER
CONTINUED from cage II

~ have, as previously announced,
retained the highest authority In n
United States to work with me IN
~.onnection with this elimination
proposition and in addition to thai l
myself have worked night n a
since my appointment in order to
give this work the attention which
it deserves.
'In regard to the benefits to be
derived from my plans l might say
that Mr.. Clark and some of the rail-
road engineers are the only ones who
have said that there were no bene-
tits to be derived by the city from my
plans and therefore l do not think
that Mr.. Clark thoroughly under-
stands them. One of the most i'm
portant features of my plans Is low
ering of the proposed bridge over
smith street from a height of eight
feet to four feet. The proposed
height of eight feet by the railroads
would have bad effect upon business
west of the Central railroad because
If the fact that it would effectually
hide from view the western end of
The street beyond the tracks. 1t
would have the effect of stopping
Or choking off traffic to some extent
n that direction and would not help
he growth of the city in that direc-
ion.
''With q bridge at this point only
four feet in height and with grades
not nearly SO great approaching the
bridge on either side. conditions
would be UNNECESSARILY better for
he city because of the fact that a
person could see over the bridge
from the easterly side of it, traffic
could go over it more readily and the
city would have a chance to continue
It's natural expansion in that direc-
ion. 1t would not have two sepa-
-ate business sections.
"Of course this benefit which
would be obtained at Smith street
would also be obtained at othel
streets crossing the Central railroad
IT can endorse what the othel
Democratic aldermen have said II
regard to the merits of the PROPOSE
ton and will add that if more inter
est wopld be taken by Others In IN
vestigating the plans more thorough
ly they would see things o clearl!
