WILL MO10W COMPANY RESPONSIBLE FOR ACCIDENT. Tm-o of the inost important dîrvlopuîcîît in coinmction with the Grenesee Street viaduti'tplanms antd the plans of1 the Chicago and M-Nilwaukcc eElecttic Raili'oaîl Coumpanv came Monday, two things which have vital 1bcari-ig ng the ultimate solution of the pcmplexiîig situiatiomn whichi lias ariseni in coninectiomi with thcsc matters. FIRST-The Chicago and Milwaukee Eiectric officiais admit that the State Warehouse and Raliroard Commission bas served formai notice on thie company that lia the railroad's) portion of the Genese. street bridge bas been condemned by the railroad commis- Sion. SECOND-The railroad people formaily noti- - fied the city that the. company stands ready to pay the city TWENTY THOtTSAND DOLLARS CASH and pay up ail paving assessments, etc., which stand out à against the company if the city will in turn give it a N fifty-year franchise, the. understanding being that the r $20,000 is to be used towards the new Genesee Street Via.duct improvement. This offer of the company is d Iat obtusen that two extreil important situa- f tionsarose ondaoic.v and the itv offiiais todavarpe-( -Plexed as thev have not been for soine tinîw. wondcring just what is b;est to do. Receiver Johnson explaincd to citv officiais odvi that he had received notice fronm the state conmmission to the effeet that the railroud portion of theC (enesee street f1 bridge lias been condemined after being carefnilly investi- gatedadg:"foremaycniusrnigisas over thedintructuri sdigi tit N- i] n h -.commission w-ll hold it accountabie for anything that may occur.'k The receiver further stated to the offiiais that ac-k eordingly,. iu face' of the ultimatum from the commission,p the company felt it eould not mucli longer continue to take ~'the chances and adiitted that thcv were even now consid- ering stopping their cars north and south of the bridge. ln taet,.it la understood that the company will îîot continue running cars across it longer than two w6eksc at the onit- ut 'de. It is a further fact of interest that the comipariv no longer runs even two cars across the bridge at the same 'tie, this decision beiDg reached when the conipany foundc that the structure is flot safe, f roin the standpoint of thce state conmmission. lieceiver Johinson is said to have stated that he did flot believe the company would care to continue iiucli longer talring the chances it lias in the past b-y ruiniiig its cars over the unsafe structure, especially in face of thc state ,conuission's ruling.4 Asto Franchise Matter.a In a talk with citv officiais Mondav lleeeivcr JohnsonL 'tsaid h e was prepared to give the citv an ultimiatumi in thet matter of ihe company's position on the Geiiesee Street viàduct matter. Hie said the company 's officiais and cout officers had talked the matter over and they stood ready to give thet eity $2W,000 in cash and pay Up the special assessments ofr -Marion street paving, etc., aggregating about $13,000, the" City Wo use the $20,000 toward the new viaduct fund. This amounit represents just about the total of the public bene- fit feature of the iiniprovement. Taking this ofer of the company as a basis, there is a difference of just about $5,00 between city officiais and the railroad, that is a difference of that amount and what city offiiais wouid be willing to consider and to put up to the people to vote on. It is recalled that the officiais at the very least, ixsisted that the company pay $25,000 cash and take care of its assessmnents. That was the icast that most of the commuissioners would consider at ail. Some wauted even far more. None wouid vote for anything less. But the company camie back mith the couinter proposi- tion which the re-eiver now deciares is final. The com- missioners are uncertain as to.just what is best to do. Sorne feel that thcy should put the companv's offer up to voters Wo vote upon and sec what thev favor. The decision of the rple is final anyway. no matter how the coimnissioners ~' eelabout it. Buitlithere are certain things which the cern- missioners would even approve far enough te submit the ~.question to the voters. Some declare the $20,000 offer is insufficient even to f ake a vote on. Oters hoid that thev woîîld enter no deal with the flfty- year franehise as a consideration, bcing unwiliing to tic tbe!2steets up for that icngth of tirne. 8UiiLY SETEN DY OFFICIER A dianias Peet BSidau soldiez vm buts. qri4 uesol>lua afigut wtdb a àe Yorift pollomon -bu Tâmsiy nuhttTe solder wasraie la dlstrbunoso. n eporcisce the *~ ~~S WskEsiuiMs a pcfiom Sumoe& Te scllantaditO M t««la tise figl* wlki anet Ad &ead vas ce um ouvercy.
