The rail company attorneys have not filed an answer to the city's petition, but It Is now quite likely that this procedure will be a matter of record in the near future and the case docketed for an early trial. Attorney Hunt, In Intimating that the rail company would wage a stiff legal battle, said that there was no question but that the court Would grant the city permission to cross the rail lines at the debated intersection on Wilson avenue, but that this step would only be preliminary to the principal engagement that would involve when condemnation proceedings, next step in the action, were attempted. Condemnation Costly "When the court gives you the order for the crossing, you will not have anything. 'ou will then be compelled to start condemna-' tion proceedings and it will be costly. Certnlnly we will contest the action.
