MILWAUKEE AVENUE, PRACTICAL COMPLETION OF TUE VIADUCT. A very important public improvement, the need of which has becn felt for years by tho residents of onp of the most denscly populated sections of the city, will within the next fow days reach com- pletion. This{s tho Milwaukeo gvenus viaduct, by which that thoroughfare now ciosses tho Pitts- burg, Cinclunatt & Bt, Louls. the Chbicago, Danville & Vinceoues, tho Milwaukeo & St Paul, and the Chlengo & Northwestern Rallronds at an elevatlon of some forty feet, A lllrplflnt&lnry necessity was that part of the work on Derplathea strect over the rame ronds, and tho whole may properly be con. sldered as one thing. Tro weeka ago the viadact wras opened for foot-passengers, and 1t ia expected that by Monday teams will be able to cross, thus etfectfnga paving In hanlage from the business cen. fre to the northweatern partof tha ity of fully threo-quartera of a mile, na well as furnishing o fine, whde, weli-paved strect in place of a misers- ble, 11]-paved, and kimost imparsable ane. Like many other necessary Improvements, {his work was contemplated for a Tong time before any &etlve sleps were taken to carry It ont. Fll\nll{l In the spring of 1876, an appropristion of £43,105 was made for the abutments and approaches, and one of 210,000 for rnl!lnfi the honses on the spproacher, amd ather incldental oxpentes, tlia raflroads agreeing to build the viaduct proper, ex- cept for a part between Carroll atreet and an alley, which the city was to erect, The work was dono nnder the aaperintendence of Mr. George Wilson, Superintendent of Strects and Brldgos, Mr. 0, C. Cheney, haying charge of (he substruct. wre, The contract for the tasoncy of the ap- proaches, the plle.work, and paving was awarded onthe2ithof March to Mr. James Kincade, and work commenced shortly thereaftee, Tho contract for maronry was let by the cord, for JDiling by the linenl fout, and for lutates by the 1, feet, In tho substencinre there were used 62,700 cohic yards of Alling, 7,455 yards of paving, and 2, 603 Cords of stone in tha “city's portion. The abut. ments of tho rallrond bridite took up 423 corda of #tone, which 14 charged 1o the different companics, In addition to all this the city used 4,120 lineal feet of piling and 11,000 feet of pine lnmuer, TUE CONTILACTS FOR THE IRON-WORK ot the viadnct proper were let in July, but, owin to somo delay on the Eflrl of the raltroads, were nof aicned until’ Scptember Jast. For the routhern art of the yladuct, that over the Milwankeo & t. Panl and the Danville & Vincennes Hailroads, Both on Milwaukee nventie and Deaplaines atecet, the contract was Iet to the American Bridge Com- any, of Chicago, for 20,15, 'Thomas L.elghton, of Rochester, N, Y., receivea the con- tract for the nurthern half, which croeses the Chi- cago & Northwestern [aliroad on both strects, forming n Y, and the price fixed waa 834,600, Thia “part of the work was come pleted ‘nearly o month ago, c3cept for the \'Imfi and _sidownlks, which are now finlahed. ANl the plans of the iron-work drawn In the Superintendent's office, Mr, S, Artingetall desluning the viaduct, Thin weighn from 500 to 600 tons, snl extends 470 fect on Derplaines street, and 074 feet on Milwaukes avenue, though from this measurement must ba de- ducted the 123 feot of pllc-Urkdglng on tho former Al 170 feet on the latter thoronghfare which sepa- rates the twp halves of the work. The sonth half is what In known as o threc.span trues, and the north half a plate-girder bridge. On Mliwankee avenito the approaches aro. about 1,200 feet in lencth, on Desplaines strect abont 800 feet. The tlnlm I8 very slight,—~only 1 foot iu 50 on the main thoroughfare, and about 1 fn 40 on Des. lvlnln'u street. Ucstdes these, [t became neces- sary to SIAKE APPROACIIES EAST AND WEST on Kinzle strect, extending 320 fect in cach di« rection. f 1t wiil thus be seen that the. ilob was ono of con- sldernble magnitude, —in faef, the largeat of the kind yet atiempted In Chicago. There was some hindrance from frost, but not much, and the ex. penee I8 expected to fall within the appropriation, except In tho cases of damago clalmed Ly persona ownmgz property along the line. The total expense of roising the houdes, many of which are lsrge structures, Is cstimated at $70,000, though this s not exact, wome claimn being yet nnsottied. This wonld give the entire cost of the work at 3115, « 000, which foes 110t seesm nn_excessive price, con- sidering the anhstuntial nature of the Improve. ment.

The usual mixed audicnce occopled the backgronnd. Supervisor Lincoln read n commanleation from Bernard Lowenthal stating that ke had withdrawn his name from Evane' bond. Mike Evans—That don't make no d!ference, for 1 can go to work ana get other namea just as good. Dut that won't do nny good, elther, for Me, Lin. coln has made up his mind anyhow, A VADAKCY, Noattentlon was pald to the Inlerraption, ana the Bupervisor offered the following: Rezaleed, That the offica of tho Town Collector of the Town Of Boutli Ghilengo Is yacant, for tin reason 1hat the Town Uoliactar lias refused fo serve, and that this Hoard procced o fll tho vacancy b xail ofiica. Justices Halnes and Meech objected to the reso- Tatlon In this form, It ehonld bo modified #0 a3 to cxplain that the Collector had falled to Alle auch a bond na would meel the approvsl of the Super- A 'y 5‘:{'““ Meech then offered the following amend. ‘ment: Rerolred, Thnt tho Collector of the Town of South Chicago Hiaving tius far fafled to 0le such o bond ay ganbe annraved by the Bupersiior of said towil, o ‘vacancy has occurred (n said ofice of Colloctor Superrlsor Lincoln refused to accept the amend. ment, and, although 1t wae sccondod by Justice }l‘nlner. "n‘im' gentleiann soon aftorwards iithdrow s second, \ Supc{flmr Lincoln fnsfsted on his resolution bo- ng ut, fi'sucu Tlalnes then moved a8 an amendment to, tako evidence os to whether the Collector has re- fuaed to serve, Bupervisor Lincoln—I ahall certainly vate against that, The Doard has already had suficient evi- dence {n the ofiicial declaration of the Supcrvieor, Justice Haines—Sonie time ago, thougl, Snpervieor Lincoln—I can ropeat it if nocessary. Justice Waliace, i a grent many words, readtho Snperyisor a lecture to the effect that the wieast thing he could do now was to let Miko take the books and go ahead, The Cottrts had virtually de. cided that tho bund wns good enongh, ond - tlat there was no danger af tha public interests bein) put in icmmrd(y If Miko wa4 given a chance i collecting tho faxen. Justice Wallaco also darkly hinted at what might ensue if this was nbt done— the non-collection of taxen. supervisor Lincoln temarked that, ss a legal roposition, tlicre was now no bond in cxistenco, Tierhard Lowenthal havhuse withdrawn from It. Justice D'Wolf backed up the Buperyinor, re- marking, fncldentaily, thot it was as plain that Mike Evans had rofised (o sarve, as (¢ would bo it the Board had seon him burled, and should so repor it, Sm‘ ice Mcech nrgued that It was not clear that Evans hiad refuped to serve, and be would nover put himself on record as saying there had been any refusnl to serve. Nono of the members conld so stultify themeelves, It might bo true, legally rpeaking, that thero wasn conatractive refueal to serve, but in the common acceptation of the term such a declaration wonld be voted a faleshood, As amatter of fact, Gvans had been engaged in no less than four lawsnlts in order to get at the Col- Icctor's bouks. DId thatlook oa if ho hod refused scrye? Juatico D'Wolf thonght he could rlsk the odlum which might coine from calling it a refusal toserve, swhen the Legislatura of the Ntato of Iliinols_had g cul“cd {lll l‘lu wm; nnllarmul 10 riak his reputa- tion In calling it o refusal to sorve, Justlco Meech—I have scen our Doard ek thelr reputation once before, Hupervisor Lincoln then said howould nccept Justico Meeel's amendment. Justico faines thoneht tho Toard should tuke evidenco an to the sufliclency of the bonil. It had ot aulted the Superyfsur, but might tou good bond, according to law, for all thal,~ lfa therefore of- fored a aubntituto fo thls elfect. Justica Wallace denounced this as an sttempt to Mibuster. Jdnstice atnes’ snbstituta wan then put and lost, d-llmlgn #n{;h'}! Ifm!lm‘"u?‘ waa then put snd adapte @ foltawing vote: Y iseLtneoln, Follak, - Wolf, Foote, Summerdcld, Arver—i. Nuye—iinines, Wallnce, Meech~3. Juntice Holnes moved an adjournment, but the motion was lost, Superviror Lincoln sald that NOMINATIONS WENRE TIEN IN ONDER. Justico Watlaco nominated Mark IKimball. Justice Polink nominated W. R, Burdick, Justice Mecch nominated Clinton Driggs. Justice Mecch was oppointed teller, A voto bielng takon, Mark Kimball recelved four votes, W, It Burdick three, and Clinton Drigge two. No cholce. ‘The second voto resulted In the election of Kim- hall, and s follows: Kimball,{ve; Burdick, three; Iirlggs, one. ‘The Baard then adjourned, o As the crowd passed out, Supervisor Lincoln ene cauntered Slike and his friends, ond the disappoints cd ex-Collector, with bis hat jommed in, and an extinct cigar between his teeth, remarkied: **Weli, r, Lincoln, I've lived in this town now e« good many years, and [ nover satolo s cent of m(mnl yet—that's moro than anybody can sey of ?’nll, )y dang.
