They complained to the company, and learned - that the side-walks were to be filled up to a level with the track. This the proper ty owners say would make the side walks higther than their .property and would injure same, and they will fight the matter, if need be in court. Chair-; man McNinch, of the Street Commit tee, was nc.Ved today by one of . the property holders representing all that when the 4!C's went to lay the oth er track from the railroad crossing to Morehead street, that an injunction would be taken out against them un less the present track (and therefore the second one) was laid level with the street and side-walks, t Messrs.; Jones and Tillett have been byl the. property owners.
