Tho railrond compavies which are most fnter- asted in tho salo of tho Lake-Ivont do not con- sider tho action of tho Common Council in arder- ing it to bo platied ot and advertisde for #sle, of any consequonco whatover. Tho most prominent railroxd attorneys in Chicago declare that the city has XO RIGHT T0 PLAT THE FIOTEDTY aud sell it, aud that it could not give a perfeck titlo for the same; conmsaquontly, but few parties would bo fouud willing to invest in tho land. The Chicogo, Burlington & Quinoy, and the Michigan Ceutral Railroad will mako no bids, although they think that thoy conld bid m tho praporty at half the price they formerly offered for it. They claim that some parties would put in HGI BIDS FOR LOTS which tho rosds chielly need, and then chargoe iho Compauios any prica they pleased. Besides, they nvo unwilling to invest in the proporty, ag tho property-holders ou the avenuo demand un- rearounble nmounts for damages, There is no doubt that TILE MICAIGAN CEXTRAL RATLIOAD 18 very anxious to lenve the Lalke-Front, it hav- iug been quarreling with tho Illinois Central Ttailvond for soveral years, claiming thnt tho Int~ ter yond charged thein an unreasonable rent for tho uo of its track. As the Ohieago, Burlington & Quiney Baitrond is in great part controlled by Mr. Joy, the Lresident of the Michigan Central, these tio roads will undoubtedly stong by each other. R, JORN NEWELY, Prosident of the Illinois COentral, is_vory reticent In regard to tho Lake-Front question, but it i3 bolicved that ho will moko o bid for that portion of the ground batwoen Washington and Madison etreets and tho presont track, to a distance within about 160 foet of tho avenue. ‘Tho plat for this prece_of ground was_ready gomo timo 0go, and the Illinow Central Railrond iutended o olfer tho Council for tho same the eum of §266,000, or the third part of the $800,000 originally offorod by the three companies. But, somehow or other, tha offer Las not yot been made; from which fact it g gurmised that the Illinois Central still hopos that the wholo property may ulti- metely be obtained, and thut the other roads aro meraly * plasiug ‘possum, " otid would bo glad 1t ihey could join In the crection of & graud union dopot nt thé Lako-Front. "Tho Chieago & Brrlington and the Michigan Contral, however, claim that they will, under no circumnstance, romain- on_tho Lake-Front, al- though thoy hiave not yet decided npon anotlier site, Both roads would undoubtediy like to go 1o the West Side and join tho Allon and Fort Wayne in the eraction of a grand depot, but - 8UOIf A UNION is not vory favorably Jooked upon by the Alton TRoad, which would be at a decided disndvantage if the Burlington Railroad should enter their do- pot, as tho latter rond baa olrendy its freight- depats on tho West Hido, on Sixteenth street, while tho Iatter would be compelled to remove its freight-houscs on Van Buren street to some Pluco onteide tho city, Mr, I\ B. Blackstono, President of the Chioago & Alton Railrond, was asked by & 'Ininung re- porter yesterday whether the statement mads by & morning paper that an_agreoment had boen mado with tho Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and Mickigan Contral ailronds, to ercet jomtly A GYIAND UNION DEPOT ab tho wost end of Madison-stroot bridge was correct, and roplied thas if such arrangement Thad boon mado Lo was not nware of it, and that tho first Lo lenmed of it was from the article In thnt papor. Mr. Dlackstono also stated that he poreonsally would have no objection to tho ronds comiug in; ho was not afrald of com- petition, but ho did not beliove that it could be done, as he would not consent under any circum- stances to remove tho {relfibb-dupum now on ‘VanDBuren stroet, and thon tho Adame stroot via- duct vould aleo bo in the way of such an av- Tangement, ay a depot could not be erccted largo cuough for wix trunk lines on_tho prosent sids, Nr. Blackatono, Lelng asked how tho rumois ubont a coutract having been signed originated, slated that AN AGREEMENT YOR TE ERECTION of o grand union depot had been drawn up ehortly after tho fire, but some of the partics refusod to slgn it. is matter Lad lately buon talion up agam and discussed, but nothing what- over had a yet been accomplished, some of the most intercstod ronds still rofusiug to sign tho docnment, From nll that can bo lenrned there 18 no pros- peet that the Burlington & Quincy and Michigan Central will enter the Madison stroet depot very noow, but there is somo prospect that withing year or two such depot will he bullt there by QUITE A DIFFERENT COMBINATION, The Chicage & Northwestern Ratlrond Dopot stands entiroly isolated, and the managers think that thoir businoss wonld greatly Increaso if thoy could come in tho sawe depot with some Eastern rond, Tho track now used by the Chicago, Mil- waulkeo & 5t. P'aul Railroad belongs joi u[ly to the Northwestorn nnd Pltteburg & Fort Wayno Railroad, und the Noithwostorn could there- fore enter the depot of tho Alton and I’muburi & Tort Wayno Roads over its own track. 1i mav pafely bo neserted that the Northwestern Railrond is now nogotiating to join in tho crec- tion of a depot at Madison stroot bridgoe, and, ns the objections ur{md by the Alton and Plttsburg & Fort Wuyno Noads agninst tho entranco of tho Lako-Front roads do not hold good oguinet the Northwestern and Milwaukeo & St. Tuul, g8 thoy ontor the depat from tha opposito dlreetion, such combinntion may soon bo offect- ed. But, aven if {t is, there 1a not tho lenst rospect, that tho now dopot will bo commencod n loss than & Fcnr or two, tho companies not having the millions to spare for a grand depob at tho progent timo, ——— THE PENNSYLVANIA ROAD, Speciad Digpaton to T'he Chicago Tribune, ANSUAL BEPORT OF PRESIDENT KCOTT.
