SOME NICE POINTS] P570LV1D Dl Tfil UPMOWe UG1L OON TROVIRST g^iagtlw D*re and on the County, by the Ter ‘^aiaal Railroad Company, for the Pay mint of the Third $100,000. This morning at ten o’clock the plnanc« Committee of the Board of Commissioners will meet, pursuant to tllP adjournment taken last Friday afternoon, for the purpose of deliber ating further upon the formal demand .,.ado by tho Wheeling Bridge aDd Terminal Railroad Company upon the county for the third $100,000 of the bond* embraced in the ordinance, by the t. rms of which Ohio county subscribed to tho capital stock of tho Company named. At the meeting held last Friday a re quest was received from Mr. II. M. Kussell, representing certain citizens and taxpayers opposed to the payment pf the sum demanded, to the effect that the committee postpono action until a protest could be filed, and at to-day’s meeting it is expected such written pro test will be given, accompanied by either verbal argument or written ob jections to the fulfillment of the Com many’s demand upon the county. Mr. tV. P. Hubbard, representing the Ter minal Company, is also expected to be present, amply provided with argu ments iu refutation of the allegations of the taxpayers, and a lively and interest ing session is looked for. The matters at Issue have been re p. atedly referred to in these columns, but a restatement of the ease is proper at this time. ine ueiuanu maue oy iuo Company upon the county for the third >100.000 is based upon a clause in the ordinance making the subscription, adopted by the Board and ratified by the people of this county, wherein it was stated, after providing for the pay ment of 1200,000 in certain installments, as work progressed upon the l uion rail road bridge and the terminals within this city, that a third $100,ooo should be due and payable “when a new railroad from the bridge to Bowerston, O., shall have been constructed, ready for the passage of trains.” It will be seen that this ordinance did not specify any particular railroad, nor In any manner hamper the Terminal Company by conditions, but simply said “a new railroad.” #The Terminal Com pany rest their case, apparently, upon the proposition that “a new railroad”— to-wit, the extension of the Wheeling A Lake Erie from Bowerston to the river —has been completed, “ready for the passage of trains,” aud that, under the terms of the ordinance, the sum de manded is due. On the otner hand, it is alleged by those opposed to the pay ment of the sum named, that It was un derstood by everyone that the “new railroad” was to be a road built, owned and controlled by the Terminal people, and that in effect they are endeavoring to obtain from Ohio county the sura of $100,000 without having done anything to merit the bonus. Ai iu«* lime tut? pru|iu9uiuu ui iuu Terminal Company—then the Wheeling uml Harrisburg—was made to the peo |Me of Wheeling, tho Wheeling and Like Erie road had its eastern terminus ( it Bowerston, and had not commenced worK upon its extension to the Ohio river. Some time after the adoptiou of tin* ordinance by tho people of Ohio cnuuty, the W’heeling and Lake Erie commenced working into the coal lands bought by its owners, and eventually came on down to Portland. Before they bad got fairly to work in the val ley of Short Creek, however, the Wheeling and Harrisburg people, act ing under an Ohio charter, also began work, and for several months the workmen of the [two corporations worked almost side by side, readers probably recalling that there was a good deal of friction between the two rival parties upon several occasions. After expending a good deal of money, both upon actual work, and In securing rights of way, [etc., the Wheeling and Harrisburg peo ple gave up the tight, and allowed the Wheel lug and Lake Erie Company to proceed with their Hue, tho completion of which, first to Portland, afterwards to Steubenville and still later to Mar tin's Ferry, where a connection has been made with the Terminal System, is a matter of history. Under these circumstances the claim |of the Terminal Company, that the ex tension of the Wheeling and Lake Krlo is a “new railroad.” withiu the meaning of the ordinance, seems to be plausible, and to afford a standpoint from which some effective aud vigorous fighting can be carried on. One of tho main objections, so far as is know, to the claim set up by the Ter minal Company, Is that the whole in tent and meaning of the proposition mad** to the people of this county, and One which was a leadiug factor in the fight from the first, was the securing of i a permanent connection, through the “new railroad,” with several roads cen tering at or near Bowerston, and that the completion of a funnel line, open to ad roads desiring to use it, would a!<>ne com ply with the spirit of the clause which has been quoted. It is averred that the Wheeling and Lake Erie extension, if “anew railroad.” is not such a “new railroad’* as was in contemplation, and 'hat it does not meet the requirements of the situation uor the expectation of Hie public. It is also said, in reply to the argument that “it could make no difference to the people of Wheeling who built or owned tho road, that tti?re could be no guarantee of perma fianey respecting existing tratlic ar rangements between the Terminal Company and the Wheeling and Lake Erie—that a satisfactory arrangement, existing this year, might bo abrogated n, xt year, in which case thero wouid be hot a tithe of tho benefits accruing to this city which were expected under the clause in the ordinance K vising for the payment of the money. P is also pointed out that while the "’Heeling and Lake Erie runs to Mar tin’s Ferry, it also runs to Steubenville, something certainly not contemplated wh* n the ordinance was adopted, and tint jn effect the line from Bowerston To Portland and thence to Steubenville tin* main line of the road, and that the line from Portland to Martfu’s I^grry is only a switch. * Many other claims and allegations are Hudo, upon either side, and it will be >>>feu that the impending controversy son,e yery nice questions for adjudication.

A nW POINTIRS RI0ARDIN9 TH1 BUND RAILROAD 1NTRRPRBV. The Scheme Alleged to Be a Combination Between the Wheeling and Lake Irie, the 0. & P. and the 0., L. & W. Roads. For some days past a rumor has been floating about the city to the effect that Messrs. Rinehart & Tatum, the real estate agents who have been conducting the negotiations, during the past eigh teen months, for the purchase of large blocks of Island real estate iu the inter ests of a mysterious railroad corpora tion, had concluded negotiations for the purchase of a right of way one hundred feet wide along the “Back” river front of the John Smith farm, south of Fink street and west of Broadway, and §12,000 was named as the price. Tuesday a representative of the firm named was seen, and he stated no such purchase had been made. Yes terday Mr. John Smith, Jr., was seen, and he said: “The negotiations for*a*portion' of our farm have not been concluded. \\ hen the railroad representatives first came to us they wanted the whole of the farm, but we could not agree on terms. They then propose to buy all but the east five acres, but we could not hit it on that. They then proposed to take a strip along “Back” river, three hun dred feet wide, but there was still a disagreement, and later they thought a strip one hundred feet wide would do. We were §3,000 apart at last accounts. They have purchased all of the west tier of lots in the Zano orchard addition, as well as the Robinson field on Ohio street and now have a clear sweep from the south side of this street aloug down the river to our line. A strip one hundred feet wide from us would carry them almost to the State Fair Grounds.” AS is wen Known, mis iuj^uci iuub poration has purchased most of the re&l estate on the north side of Ohio street, from “Back” river to South Penn street, a distance of tivo blocks, at a cost approximating $100,000. About the only • pieces not purchased are the Llngen property, the Bayha property, and the Coen property, to obtain which more than $40,000 ad tional will bo required. Definite infor mation respecting the enterprise is very hard to obtain, but it seems most prob blethat tho Cleveland and Pittsburg, the Cleveland, Loraine and Wheeling, and the Wheeling and Lake Erio Rail road Companies have combined to thus obtain an entrance into the city, crossing* to the east side of the Island, with the ulti mate hope of erecting a bridge between the suspension bridge and tho new Island Bridge Company’s bridge, and coming out on Main street. Tho report that the B. & 0. was also In the scheme does not seom to bo reasonable, for a variety of reasons. A prominent wholesale merchant on Main street, who has taken quite an in terest in the project, and appears to have divined the true inwardness of tho situation, says:— “I know there has been a good deal of conjecture and guess-work as to what all this wholesale sweeping up of real estate on the Island means, but I think It is safe to assort that it Is a scheme of a railroad combination composed of the Cleveland and Pittsburg road, the Wheeling and Lake Erio and the Cleve land, Lorain and Pittsburg, their idea being to get a more direct com munication to Wheeling. I was told this by a prominent railroad official, who ought to be well acquainted with the situation, since ho holds an office un der ono of the eompaules interested. I inferred from his remarks that tho scheme partly grew out of tho inability to successfully negotiate with the Wheeling Bridge and Terminal Com pany. Just whore the depot will be located I do not know, but I have heard it rumored that it would be located at the northwest corner of Ohio and South Front streets, as several lots in close proximity to oouin iront navn onen gathered In by the combination through tlioir agents. The railroad ollicial with whom I talked also intimated that if the coast was clear, the three railroads would probably combine and build another bridge across tho river, be tween the two now up and building.” “There’s one thing I would not con sent to,” said another merchant, “and that Is to have the railroads cross so many public thoroughfares on the Island at grade. By the scheme pro posed the roads would have to cross South Huron, York, Broadway and South Penn streets, to which I think residents on the lower part of the Island would strenuously object, unless the viaduct plan was adopted, whereby the trains would be sufficiently high to allow carriages to pass under them. And this plan would be much better for the railroads in case of a flood. Noth ing will be done this year, I ain sure, but when the matter comes up, over head crossings ought to be strenuously iuslsted upon by Council.” ABOUT rEOPLE.
