At IL 20 O'Clock last night Mayor Riner
at a special meeting of the council, an
nounced that the contract between the

menced soon thereafter. Home contract
OTIS will be given an opportunity to con-
struct both. The Union Pacific will prob
ably undertake to build the viaducts.
NEW PLANS.
The difference between the new plans
and old is simply the difference between
the ideas of x-Master Mechanic Glen
Hackney and Master Mechanic Gushing.
The latter exercised the prerogative of
altering the plans of his predecessor, and

original plans, Some Of the shops will
be smaller, some larger, but the number
of men employed will be the same.
