ON THE DOWN GRADE

Columbus Likely To Be a Hole in the Ground if She Keeps a-Going. SETTLES AS THE YEARS PASS BY Now Twelve Feet Lower Than She Was in 1882—Combine of Combinations—ltems. Columbus, Ind.. Sept. I.—“ Has the city of Columbus sunk ten feet within the last twenty-three years?” Is a question which local officials of the Penn sylviiuia lines are asking each other and. according to the figures made by the surveyors in 1882 and the figures made ut the present time, they are forced to answer in the affirmative. Twenty-three years ago Frank P. Kellogg, who was the engineer in charge of the party, together with Levi Hege and John Clark, of this city, made a complete survey of the Louisville division, together with the Madison and Cam bridge 1 tranches of the roa d. What It was in 1882. The survey was started from a point cn the government canal at Louisville, the point there being established by the government surveyors. At that time the party surveyed north to this city and found that at the base of the rails in front of the passenger station here the altitude of Columbus was G4O.G feet. Twenty-three years passed and again the officials of the road decided to have a survey made on the main line and the branches. The survey lias been completed and the party Ims returned to Louisville. Twelve Feet Different Now. The present party of surveyors, in charge of Engineer McConnell, marked a point at the top of the stone step leading to the women's waiting room of the passenger station here, which, they say. is 630.189 feet above the sea level, which is a difference of about ten feet in the present survey and the cne made in 1882. Taking in consideration the fact that the step is a foot of two higher than the base of the rail, it would leave a difference of about twelve feet in the height of Cplumbus above the sea level as compared with the former survey and the one Just finished. Has Somebody Made a Mistake. The quetsion naturally arises as to whether the city has sunk that much in twenty-three years or whether one of the surveying parties made a mistake. The old survey, under Engineer Kellogg, was made very carefully, and it took almost a year to complete it. The present survey was made in much shorter time than the old one, but the present engineers insist that their figures are also correct. Engineer McConnell, who made the present survey, says he started from the same mark on the Louisville canal used by the old surveying party.
