1t is common talk this week that
the G. c. d l. Co. Is seriously think
ing of taking all liquor res trictions
would not be surprising. The re-
strictions We're originally placed on
the G. c. q /. real estate because it
was supposed such prohibitory re-
strictions would enhance the value
of the property, but now it is said
the company thinks property would
be benehtted by taking off the re-
strictions and hence the change of
policy.
In conversation with Ex-Mayor
Hawke this week, General Manager
Kebler of the c. F. & !. Co. expressed
himself as heartily indorsing the
action of the people of Bessemer in
opposing consolidation with Pueblo
He says where there is one reason
for union there are several against
it and thinks Bessemer is all right
as it is. Mr.. Hawke being an
earnest worker against consolida-
ton was highly pleased to discover
that the head of the steel works is
standing in line with the people.
The cause of consolidation is los
ing ground every day. Men who
once favored a union aud strove to
bring it about on equal terms are
now dead set against it. Heretofore
j. X. Dempsey has been well
known consolidationistb but has now
turned his back on it and says the
pend upon its own resources and to
build IN inlannndanf of punbIa
