e e e e e STREET VIADUCTS. Who Shall Pay for Dridging the - Streets? COonsultation Between City and Rail- way Offioials, The Mnyur Thinks fln; Railways Must Foot the Entire Bill, The “Latter Willing to Divide the A - Expense. And:'l‘hus the Question Stnn'ds at Present, An adjourned meoling of the joint Council Committoes on Btrcetu and Alloys and Railroads, tho loading raflrond officers, and the Mayor, was hold yostorday nfternoon, in the Common Coun- oll Ohamber, Alderman Woodmnn {n tho chair. ; TIIE MAYOR EXPLAINED that the objoct of sthe mooting was to consult togother with- regard to a systom of street vin- ducts. During tho past yoar a number of new rouds had obtained entranco to tho city, and the Common Council bhad epecified gortain condi- tions on which theso righta were to bo obtained, ono of wiich was that the new roads were to build viaducts over tho principal streots crossed, four or two annually, and two aftor a certain date, two annually, undor tho supervieion of the Boaxrd . of Public Works, Twelve now roads had agreod . to these torms, and onothor would probably accopt “them," It happened in & number of cases that the now rond could only bulld one approach and half o viaduot, inasmuch as the other half of the track was owned by an old road. Heuce the aity had provided for » systom of half visducta, The olty wanted complete vinducts. Thoy also wanted tho old roads to build viaducts over the stroots orossod by their tracke. Ono of the grounds on which theymado tho demand was that tho olty had s prior claim to the strosts; socondly, the city, in giving the pormission to orosa streets, nover contomplated any impodi- mont to ingress and egross at those crossings. Now tho ‘city had grown greatly from what it was whon this pormission was given. Now tho railroads nre violating ordinances of tho oity, and the pooplo infured to an incaloulable extent. Citizens wore dnily running risk to life and limb in orossing. the tracks, Ho supposed that the officers of the rond were not oxempt from dan- ger themselves. Tho city and the ronds wero now mutuslly impeding ono anothor. Honco the city thought it timo to come to an underatand- ing. Enginoers had pronounced it impossiblo to tunnel the atrects. Norcould the railroads run sbove the mroots asin England. Tho city must croes eithor above or below the tracks and thoy could not loave their grade. The road had not the right to pormanontly obstract the travel of tho_ city, snd continually joopardizo lifa and labor, No one conld controvert that. Lven if tho rocd had the legal right to intorforo, they bod no moral right, and tho polico cconomy would be diracted against thom cventually. Ho thought that the raiiroad companics would admit that it was best to bwld viaducts over their tracks, ' They would escape injury to thelr in- torests, dumage, and osponso, Evory timo they occupied the crossing moro than five minutea tho engincer was liable to arrest ; this waa: tho. Iaw, and it could havo beon long ago enforce thoy-were compellod to Liavo large corps of flag: mon to ‘signnl citizens ; tho traine woro com- rellod to ran nt o vory 10w rato of spood, whose injury to their businéss conld not but bo grent. By tho erection of visducts theso diffculties could ba obviated. The city was not bound law to build tho via- ducts; tho city hed not tho mong to build thom; and tho railroad had no right t0 nuk tho city to build them. In law and in right tho railroads ought to bulld tho viaducta and xomove the obstructions which they had im- posed upon tho city. Such in briof was the city's caso, The Corporation_Counsol would ivo the legal points, and tho Board of Publio §Focks had mops to sliow the different orossings. B, TULEY SAID It was lawful that the party for whose benofit the obstruction was made, to remove the ob- struction,” Tho polico power could be directed ngainst the company without breach of contract. This bad been decided in other Btates. Tho corporation or the State might compol railrosds to do what was necoseary for the comfort and protection of the people. He belioved that the railroad could be - compelled - to build the viaducts and the a{:- pronches. 'The, railroad had taken away the crossing from the people, and should glve them another. " COLONEL HOWE BAID 1t was o little bard to discuss, the question ab length without risl‘of being misunderstood. In tho construction of viadnets neross tho streets, hio botieved tho companioes desirod to co-operate with the city in proventing dangor at crosaings. The company which he ropresentod had already co-oporated with the city in the corsiruction of soveral vinduots, and liad never deolindd to do 80. As to the extent of the duty of the compas nies to tho city, he bolioved that the roads had oqual right to tho strcots with tho city. They were not n nuisance in the logal or tho ordinary sonse of the word. Tho city'gave the streoty to tho city, Thostreets which wore given to the Northiwestern Rosd wero thou open prairie, and the clty Lad grown round them. 8o that the romark made by the Mayor that the streots wore given up to the rail- roads was truo of only omo of tho stroots, The roilronds had rights in tho use of tho rireets co- extonsive with tho city. Now trafio on the roads 08 woll ns on tho strosts had grown, and tho dornand for the use of tho stroots had grown on both sides, Tho roads and the public_ both wanted tho intorsections of tho stroots and rail- road crossings. Was it not fair, thorefore, that botl partios sBhonld contributo alike to the con-, struction of viaduots ? Tako such a croesing as on Canal streot, aud the number of peaple that crossed the rond on foot ~aud in vebiclos was larger than those who crorsed the street intho railronds, Was it moro than just that onch of theso partics should contribute in some fair and ocquitable proportion to the work ? Four viaducts had been bullt by the Northwest- eru Railrond duriug tho past two yoars, on thi bayis, The Ccmpany had built tho suporstrac- ture and nbutments, and_tho city had built the approaches. Why bould not this rule akill proyail? b city had built tho strects up to the viaducts bullt by tho compenios. A conferenco had been_held ‘during tho foronoon, when the Chicago, Burlington & Quinoy, Chicago, Alton & Bt. Lows, Rock Island & Pacifio, Iilinois Cen- tral, Michigan Central, and Chicago & Northe weatorn Railrond Cnm)éunins wore ropresented, and ho was suthorized by thoso ronds Lo submit tho following resolution to the meoting: Resolved, That tho railway companics propose to compromige with tho city upon tho question relatiug to theconatruction of thie viaducta over tho railways, upon the following basta s First, Pians shall bo agreed upon by the proper offi= cers of tho several ruilwayn in each “case where tho erection of o viaduct sl bo ordered or ngreed upon, Second, The rallway company or corjuration over whouo track or tracks tho vinduct ehall bo bullt shiull pay, upon monthly estiintes by the englncer in chargo of 'the works, & pmfiufl foual smount of & total sum to be ngreed upon as tho cost of thosuporetructire of the visduet and the sbutuents or other supporta upou which it reste, Third. Al other oxpenscs growlng out of the cons structlon and subkoquent waintenanco of tho vinducts and approach to bu paid by the ¢lty, and the railroad company forever released from the demands on ace connt of thosame, Fourth, * A forml contraot to bo exacuted betweon {hig parties fully definiug the obligations of tho purtios in the premfscs, And in no case ehall tho viaduct be ‘mado larger_or moro expensive thau the publio con= venlouco and safoty requiro, Mr, Ilowo continued to apeak., He did not know whother all of the twelvo rallroads mou- tioned by tho Mayor would accept the conditiona, Ho would inquiro of Mr, Tuloy what ataps could ‘o taken by the city in caso of the rofusal of tho companies, .I{o had no doubt that the city could harrags tho companies, but he doubted ‘whother they could afford to do sa, Bl TULEY $AID ho would proceed In ono of Lwo wayss either by mandamus, or by removing the obstructions by tho police powoy, aud, if noccssary, by the police forcoof the city. MR, WALKEN AAID that the aity represouted ona purtion of the pub- Tio intorost, Tho railrond companies veprosents ed another portion of tho pubiio iutorost, oro they met, aud - there was ‘apparontly a conflfot, Tho oity could not part with tho railroads ; that a8 proposterous. Tho zailroads could uot afe ford to Injure the city, for thoie intorests woro identicdl, Now, if tho rallronds constructed the viaducts thoy had removed the obatruotion, 1o did not belleve thnt the olty authoritios twould demand that the railrond companlies should cone struot and mnintain tho whole of ‘the viaducts. Ha did not think that: the city could tear up’ the raflrond tracks. t {8 a rome- dy which confessos that thore fs no law to pustain it. Ho did not boliove tho olty, if it had tho powor, would rosort to such & remedy, for tha atreots whioh nre now obstruoted b tho raliroads wero, when tho iracts were laid, mostly opon prairle. Tho railronds wantod tho viaducta builf ! woro willing to go to the utmost oxtont warranted to oontribute to the construc- tion of theso viaducts. Tho proposition was thnt vinducts should be built x ho roflroads of ntone aud iron for all time, and that tho city shiould mainiain. thom for ol tma, This wag -Just and right, But becauso new ronds had coma into tho ‘olty on harder torms than thoy had, ho did not see why tho old roads should bo cnn:‘[wllov.] to ncoopt tho samo terme. Tho naw roads oamo ‘through the oity; .the old roads through tho prairie. ' ‘Tholr tracks wore on Lheir own grounds, oxcopt whera they crossed tho stroets, ~Ho undorstood = that the companios would bo compolled to submit to tho terms or suffer from the police rogulations. The wmlmm" had adhorod to thoir part of tho cone {ract, and expooted the city to adbors to theira. Ald. Woodman inquired who should pay for the damago on both sldoa of the vinduct. Ar. Walkor said thero would bo no land dam- agos. If thore wora thoy would bo duo from tho clty. Tho city built the vinducts, the railroad companios boibg only tho agonts, 5 . MR, TULLES FAID tho Coristitution of 1870 Iind ovidently made tho guesuon of damages-much widor, Whothor iamngos would bo Involved ko bad not yob con- sidored, In Towa thero could bo,no damagos claimed, But if tho power existed to, make rallroad companies bulld the viaducts and . he no doubt - of that) bad tho Ipmvm- to mako thom pay for any dam= ages thoy {ncurred in doing so. . A police rogula- tion could be mndo requiring thom'to build via- ducts, and tho ordinances of the olty could bo ‘mado offcctual by the polico of the clty., Ho did nat think it an “acknowledgmont of wenkuoss, ‘but rathor n beliof in right. i N ., MAYOR MEDILL BATD § ho had Mstenod with plensure to the expréssion of tho viows held by the railrond mon, Theso ontlemon would not have been summoried hero nd not tho city authoritios Irnvlnuuly nsgured thelr own minds that thoy had the power to com- pel an accoptance of their proposition,. Ho aup- E:“d that thoy “woro goo unqufh lawyora to ow that the city authorities could compal tho romoval of that which ondangored life. ing that, thoy conceded all. e r. Walkor-said that tho eity could not gom- pel tho railronds to tako up thelr tracks and re- movo thom, Mr, Medill callod attention to some of tho {mwom oxtonded to the foriy-ninth olause of ho Oity Charter, which ronds: ¢ The City of Ohh:la:) shall hayo power to rogulate and pro- hibit tho uso of locomotiva ongines within the city, aud require locomotivo engines to bo pro- - pollod by othier power thau' steam.” It was not necossary twenty. ivunm ago to oompel the compantes to build vinducts, Nor could thoy arbitrarily compel them to build visducts on the prairle. Ho would onll attention, also, to the onced- to damages, tho city must bost a hen sixty-fourth power of tho city, rgmvldh:g-na follows: “To make, publish, ordain, smond, ond ropesl all such ordinauces, by-laws an l)nlicc Tegulations, not’ contrary to tho Consti- ution of this Btate, for tho good government ond order of tho . oity, and tho trads - and commorce thereof, a8 . may - be - nocessary or “expediont to carry into effect tho powors vosted in the Common Council, -or any ofticer of said oity by this act; and enforce ob- soryanco of all rules, ordinances, by-lawa, and’ polico and othor regulations, mado in pursuance of {hisact, by penaliios ‘not exoceding $100 against the samo.” Tho Mayor continuod, that tliore wera 40,000 people in "tho city boforo a milo of rallroad was built, Tho Council had no right to bartoraway tho publio thorongh~ faros, and the street - orossings wero never va- cated. The city could regulate tho spoed of the trains—bring them down to threo miles an-hour, on tho plea of lp\lblic safety ;‘ could prohibit tho ueo of stoam fn tho city limits, if necossary. This could not bo controverted. 'Cho railros ;frond to build tho bridge, but not the approach. 0- could not seo that thelr duty ended there, . If thocity had the power to mako the companies build the bridges, they could make thom build rondway to got on to that bridgo. Othorwigo the bridge would bo a worso obstruo-~ tion than ever. It waa acompromise ovon to no- copt the visduct from the railroads. The ascent to the visduot oost energy, lnbor, and capital ; it was & mattor of dragging tho commoreo of tho city sixtoon or seventéen foot, It was too much o ask of tho city to build the vinducts and to go over them too. It was too much. With regard oga, equal to that of the railrond companios. Ho held itwas to_tho intorost of tho railrosd companics to have theso visducts bullt’ 88 soon as posaible. Asgoon a8 & visduct was built, the companics virtually owned the strcet; thoy could move their tralns fastor, would escapo. all -tlio con- tinual chenco of killing pooplo; could withdraw their army of fiagmen; aud inorease the valuo of - their proporly more than it would over cost thom. 8o that, instead of requiring coorcion on the part of the city, the railroad companies onghg to come to the city and requost the privi- loge of eresting this obatruction, If ha was to give orders to carry out the ordinanocs of the city, as he was, perhaps, bound to do, ho would bo' inflicting & blow on the railroad compsnics. Ho would not be authorized to do 80 until the railronds jeopardiza tho lives and impede tho Dbusinoss of citizens, and that they wero doing to-dny, Somebody must build theso viaduets, and the city could not. The only compromise ‘was tho application of polico xufiujmonu to pro- toct the peoplo or tho, construction of the troot obatructions, known 58 vinducts. There was no ueo in wasting time about it. Tho best thing to do would be to send their cugincers to confer with those of the city and dotormine where tho viaducts should be built. S ALD, WOODMAN i 3 called attention to tho construction of. the vin- duct of the Qolumbus, Chieago & Indiana Cen- tral Raflroad, which wag roterdod' by the inac- tlvity of the Ohicago & Northwestorn. . There being nothing further to_bo said on the ‘subjact, the joint Committos adjourned until two weeks from yestorday. Tho Railrond Com- mittoe will moot_on Tuesday aftornoon to con- sidertzhe Bock Island Railroad track on Clerlk street. SANITARY MATTERS.
