TWENTY FIFTH YEAR
About the Middle River Bridge Road
The committee from the McCook
Commercial club appointed by President
Harnett to confer with Superintendent
Eaton about the middle river bridge
road Bought to be ordered vacated by
the Burlington company had a meeting
with the superintendent on Monday of
this week following shortly after the
return of the superintendent from the
ast and conference with higher officials-
After a brief conversation with a mem
ber of the committee The Tribune be
lieves it can safely say to the people of
McCook and to the dwellers in South
McCook as well as those south of the
river that there is little new to report
A few facts old facts may be repeat
ed as the superintendent reiterated
them The tracks will be laid across
the road The Tribune of course un
derstands they will seek permission from
the lawful authorities beforo using pub
lie property in this mauner A viaduct
will be built over the tracks at the foot
of McDowell street and a foot viaduct
over the tracks at the foot of Main
avenue Tho company will also give
permission to the county authorities to
open a road along the west side of the
driving park at the crossing just south
of the east side of Willow Grove ad
dition
Some new facts are The company
will not excavate a subway or con
struct a viaduct overthe tracks at the
present road south of Manhattan
street which they seek through the
city council to have vacated
So the people know just where they
are at
The Tribune believes that with the
exception of a few specially interested
citizens the people of McCook and vic
inity dont want that road vacated It is
now up to them to take the proper legal
measure to protect their rights of almost
a quarter of a century
