But I reminded their representatives it had been in the present ordinance 45 years with no order ever being made by the city. I also told them the city would accept minimum stale requirements." The stale, he added, is in agreement with the idea the main Illinois Terminal track be located oil tlie outer, or river side, of the rcadway, and for the present will accept a crossing just west of Piasa.

M. O. representatives (o communicate with proper officials and give the city an idea oi the road's atlilude on Ihe Elm- Central viaduct project. He added that there have been no further discussions as to the matter of replacing Third street trifle policemen with stop-go signals.

This, in turn, would radically affect the arrangements as lo automatic signals at the Piasa crossing. Mrs. May Ahrgal Dies at Age 85 Hoped to Live for Granddaughter's Wedding Mrs. May D.

Grant T.

Strip The ordinance provides that the Lime Co. will grant and convey to Illinois Terminal Railroad Co. an easement over its land between the westerly line of Grand and the easterly line of Fairmont subdivision, this easement to be sufficient width to accommodate the I. T. track north of its present location.

The strip to be covered by this easement is at a point where the Lime Co. land adjoins the old county road, and the transaction therefore will mnke posible the clearing of space for Ihe highway route. As further consideration, the Lime Co. will box the conveyor to prevent dropping of any sand on the highway and provide illumina- lion of the piers as requested by the state and city as safety measures. The ordinance includes additional provisions that the company is will- Ing to relocate the conveyor if necessary to conform to any requirements for centering the McAdams highway and providing proper clearances, vertical and horizontal, and that the lease be subject to a right of the city to terminate because of possible future necessily for using the space for street or highway purposes.

City Counsellor Middleton said that the term of the ordinance had been worked out in conference between him and the attorney for the Lime after state highway department officials had been consulted and their attitude determined with regard to clearances and certain grants being made to assure'space for the McAdams highway. He pointed especially to the agreement that Mississippi Lime Co. is cooperating to provide space for the highway, and said he felt there was full provision for protecting all rights of the city. Mayor Approves Ordinance Mayor Wadlow said that "as matters now stand I see nothing wrong with the and added that he had noted in particular that it made suitable provisions for Last of Tents Removed From Salu Park Overtures as to the grant for Ihe conveyor space began when Ihe Lime Co. proposed an ordinance several weeks ago.

This original ordinance proposed an easement, but under the new measure, change has been made to provide for a lease under statute provisions, with the highway right-of-way provision as principal consideration. With regard to the easement by the Lime Co. to the I. T. railroad, the ordinance provides it be granted as soon as construction of the proposed McAdams highway has begun within the Alton city limils and that it continue -as long as the railroad continues passenger or freight service.

A blueprint detailing plans for the- conveyor is attached to the proposed ordinance. Clearances above Ihe highway space should range from 21 feet 6 inches lo 26 feet, 6 inches, and provide widlh for a 50- foot highway and 5-foot clearances on each side of this strip. The ordinance points out that the overhead system will eliminate necessity of hauling sand by rail and truck across the highway from its river-bank tipple, thus greatly reducing cross traffic over the vehicle route.

The which since hour after the strike started yesterday at 9 p. had hung on a mailer of phraseology, will permit the engineers to return to work as soon as they can be notified. The wording of the agreement, already complete between the company and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, is to be worked out later.

The agreement ended In Just six hours and 45 minutes the strike which had disrupted the lines' operations from Texas to Oregon and threatened lo humped the movement perishable crops in the area. Promptly at the 9 p. m. deadline, engineers left their trains, and pickets appeared before company properties in several cities. Trains in movement at the time were proceeding to division points.

The strike culminated a long dispute between the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the company over a score of working rule changes demanded by the BLE. Among the union demands was a guaranteed daily wage of $12.95, as against the present $10.02. The strike became effective despite last minute appointment of an emergency mediation board of President Truman. The brotherhood previously had said it would accord "full respect" to such a board but that it would not affect its strike plans. The BLE contended the same issues had been considered by a similar mediation board named by President Roosevelt in 1945, and that the union had complied with the provision of the railway mediation act.
