That brought Superintendent Sulli van to offer the same objection to the opening of Harrison street, because If Calhoun street la depressed and Harrison street opened, its freight site will be destroyed.

Counoliman Cook agreed with the rairoad plane, while Mr. Kinder thought that the beat way to hasten the abolition of grade crossings was to prepare plans discuss them.
