Drainage of Katy
Crossing Is Under
Consideration Now
The Katy crossing on East Main
street has been the cause of worry
for some time to both the railway
company and the street commission-
ers Through the efforts of the
Chamber of Commerce the divis-
ion engineer of the M K A T
railway was brought to the city yev
terday for the purpose of looking
over the bad situation of the track
It Is believed that by raising the
house track on the west side of the
depot to the level of other tracks
crossing the street that the drain-
age problem will be solved Every
time a hard rain comes the water
collects at this place until It Is
almost Impassable
Mr Banks the division engineer
was 'of the opinion that the pro-
blem could be solved with little
expense and trouble and promised
to take the matter up with his com-
pany The extra expense that the
city would be put to In having this
done will be very small according
to the engineer
