CITY TO CHANGE GRADES
Railroad Viaduct Plans Now tTnder
Consideration.
To eliminate the danger of grade
crossings along the main line of the
O.-W. R. & N. Company on the East
Side, a plan Is being worked out by
the street committee of the City Coun
cil and members of the engineering
force of the railway company for
viaduct or underground crossings on
all the main thoroughfares.
At a Joint meeting yesterday of the
Council committee. City Engineer Hurl
burt and Chief Engineer Boschke, of
the company, the problem was Investigated-
In detail and immediate steps
will be taken to complete plans for the
work In the near future.
Ways and means of financing the
proposition Is one of the factors In
the proposal as it stands t present.
The railway company has signified its
willingness to meet its end of the ex
pense, but the Council committee has
been unable as yet to decide how to
finance the city's part of . the work.
District assessments have been sug
gested, but are not so greatly favored
by the committee as a special railway
crossing appropriation.' or the general
fund.
It is proposed to change the grades
to either overhead or underground on
the following streets where they cross
the railway tracks: East Thirty-third,
Sandy boulevard, East Forty -seventh.
East Fifty-third, East Fifty-fitb,. East
Sixtieth, East Seventy-fourth, East
Eighty-second and perhaps at one or
two other points.
