SOUTH CHICAGO JUROR GLAD TRIAL IS OVER. The Jury In the condemnation suit of the Chicago & Northwestern Railroad company against the owners of property wanted for its new J20.000.000 depot, returned Its verdict in Judge Chytraus' court at the criminal court building yesterday.

Work Started on Street, Work has been started on the filling In of Ninety-Eighth street from the Chicago, Lake Shore & Eastern tracks to Avenue N, preparatory to the paving. Forty men are engaged on the work which will be completed by the last of next week when the paving will be started. The foundation of the paving will be of crushed stone with a granite covering which will add much to its appearance as a representative street of the East Side. For several years the property owners have tried to get this street paved and were successful only through the efforts . of the East Side Improvement association, backed up by Alderman P. H.

Several other streets on the East Side are slated for paving In the near future and this topic will probably be discussed at the next meeting of the East Side Business Men's club. What Jones Will Do!

Now that Jones is back in the aldermanlc harness he has promised to take up the matter at once and If possible get the work started this year. Gradually the waters from Lake iuicnigan are washing against the shore, eating up the frontage until barely twelve feet remain between the lake waters and the street. There is only one way to stop this, and that is to get the sea wall, which will be done. according to a statement made yesterday by the new alderman-elect. Ten years ago the lake was over one hundred feet from the street and to day It is only twelve. This shows how rapidly the roaring waters are eating into the property.
