The South Shore has notified Alex Grant to remove his house which stands on the company's lands south of the approach to the dock upon which work will begin immediately. The new approach will be of cured form and will join the main track near the site of the old Northwestern Hotel. It is chiefly designed to take away the empty ore cars, thus relieving the presure and traffic at the crossing of Front and Superior streets. The South Shore will not let a contract for this approach but will do the work itself.
