RAILROAD NEWS, THE LAKE-FRONT AGAIN. As far aa can be learned, the railrosds will not mako a bid for the Iake front, under the resolu- tion pasaed fast Mouday night. 3r. J. M. Doug- Insg, President of the Iilinois Coutral Railrosd,ia at presont in New York, and oould, thercfore, not be soen, but from what can be lesrnod from tho other officers of tho rond it appears that Mr, Douglass in waiting to have thio bid mado some yoaraago accopied. The bid atthat time was 800,000, and the threo railroad companies en- toriug at the lake-front—the Michigan Central, Illinois Contral, apd Chicago, Burlington & Quinoy-—paid $60.000 oach to Comptroller Kim- ball, a8 part payment, at that time, A litile more than a year ago tho Michigan Central and Chicago, Burllngton & Quincy had their money rofunded, not being willing 10 leave it aa dead capital 1o the hands of the ex-Comptroller. Tue lullnois Central, howover, rofused to také back tholr part of the purobase monoy, and it Is still in Mr. Kimball's hands. Tho ofilcers of thia o road claim that all tho Oouncil haa to do is to accept that bid and draw the monoy now ju Mr. Kimball's hands; the balance of the $800,000 would then bo forthcoming at short motlce. The Illinois Central will undoubtedly stick to that bid, no matier what the other roads may do. It thoy aro mot willing to {eln this Com- peny, it will buy the lake-front alonc and build tho' ‘depot st once, and thon remt room to those roads that wish fo como in. A dapob op the lske-front will undoubtedly have to be built next year, as the prosont sc- commodations are eotirely inadequate. If the roads find that thoy caunot strike An honess bas- gain with tho Aldermon, they will at once make other arrangomenta. In this cass the Miobigan Central and Chicsgo, Burhngton & Quincy Ral- 10ada will undoubtedlv mova to tha Wost Sido, and, in conjunction with the Pittsburg & Fort Wayune, Chicago & Alton, Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; ana Chicago & Nortbwestern, build & Grand Union Depot between Madison and Adama stroets, The Ifliuoia Contral, Kankakeo Lino, Erio & Chicago Line, and the few othor roads coming 1o on the lake frons will then have sulliclent ground on tho presout sito. 1t iu claimed by tho Managers of tha railroads thit thora ia no one hoaides the railroads who could possibly afford to give $500,000 for tho ground, sstho city is not able to give a clear tltle to the same. WINTER RATES ON THZ NORTHWESTERN.
