The project of having anew local depot
for the c. b. & Q. railway, was defeated
because of the righteousness of one real
estate owner, and because the city would
not allow the company a little slice off
one edge of the street, but the city coun-
cilmen want to give a whole avenue to
the Union Pacific for the purpose of get
ting that company to put up a little flag
station. :
The unseemly haste with which the
city council passed the ordinance giving
Union avenue to the Union Pacific shows
how little they regard public opinion. They
did not propose to let the people have
any chance to talk over the ordinance, OF
give voice to any protest. The people
will be heard from, however, and It will
be no uncertain sound in some of the al
dermen's ears.
