RAZING OF
ELEVATOR
ENJOINED
Board of Trade Gets
Injunction Against
M. C. Railroad
The Board of Trade, acting for
16 grain concerns, secured s re
straining order from Judge (/odd
Saturday, enjoining the dismantling
of the Michigan Central's elevator
“B,“ at the foot or Twelfthst.
Were this done the milling industry'
in Detroit would be jeopardized, ac
cording to Hal H. Smith, counsel for
the Board of Trade, and Detroit,
instead of being a grain terminal
would become only a way port for
grain. Only one other elevator, that
owned by the Wabash railroad, is
available. The Grand Trunk eleva
tor was destroyed by Are several
months ago and the Michigan ten
tral’s elevator “A” already has been
dismantled. The road, it is under ,
stood, needs the space for otheri
purposes.
Judge Codd has set July 7 for a
hearing on the petition for a per
manent injunetlon.
WORK PROCEEDING
ON PENNSYLVANIA!
The Pennsylvania Railroad com
pany has awarded contracts for a
new brldse over the Huron river
near Carrolton and for work con
nected -with the construction of the
Ecorse yards. R E. McCarty, vice
president of the line* west of Pltt*-
bursh. says that the belt line
around the northern and western
parts of the city will be completed
this year This activity indicate*
that the wsr will not interfere with
the entrance of the Pennsylvania
to Detroit a* planned, and that the |
work of completes the line between j
Toledo and this city will go forward
Meanwhile President Rea. of the
road, appeara to be dleeourared over
the action of the interstate eom-
mrrre commission in aliowiiif; onl>
about four per cent increase in
f eight rates instead of the flat rate
of 15 per cent asked for. H«- ha>
so expressed himself in a telegram
to Mr. McCarty, in which he pr
diets a greater congestion >»f tr <l
fle next winter than that of lust
He declare* he was surprised
the reasoning of the commission
The roads, he said, are doing all
they can to co-operate with the gov
ernment, which in turn Is hamper
ing them by seriously limiting th*ir
credit by its derisions He says he
doe.? not like to criticize an.. go\
e -nmental decision, but he believe*
the people should know why it is
impossible to provide adequate rail
road equipment.
