Proposition as Viewed by the Builders and
Traders Exchange,
IT IS ENTHUSIASTICALLY FAVORED
General Features, OF the Plan Dis
cusscd and Resolutions Adopted
United Ebert of All Ciu-
xcns strongly Urged.

The union depot was the subject of dis
cussion at a meeting held yesterday after
noon at the rooms of the Builders and
Traders exchange. Members of the exchange
and their friends to the number of more
than 100 were present at $3.50 o'clock when
President Phelps called the meeting to order
and stated its object.
Mr. John r. Webster of the Omaha Bridge
and Terminal company was invited to explain
the proposition which the company now has
before the people and the managers of the
railroads entering into Omaha. Mr.. Web
ster stated that for number Of years, since
his knowledge of Omaha, the people of the
city had been trying to get a union depot.
They had paid for several had got one at
least started, but nothing had come out OF
it, and the city was now almost absolutely
without depot accommodations and had suf-
fered by reason of the failure to secure a
passenger depot commensurate with the size
and dignity of the city. Omaha was the
only city of the country of over 100. 900
population that did not have union passen-
ger depot representing an outlay of at least
$750000 He traced the history of the or
ganization Of the Omaha Bridge and Terminal
company, which had first been organized or

sisted upon the larger mains. Today those
mains are being torn out and replaced by
others with more than double their capacity,
He reviewed the history of the efforts to Sc
cure suitable passenger depot facilities for
Omaha and how they had been unsuccessful.
He hoped that the people would stand united
on the present proposition and push it to a
successful issue.
Mr.. G. NJ Hitchcock followed In an appeal
to the business men and taxpayers Of the
city to lay aside their individual interests
and get together in support of the present
proposition or any other proposition that
would bring the people OF the city the depot
facilities that they had so long been entitled
to and so long deprived Of
Mr.. l. S. Hascall explained the history of
the old union depot projects and declared that
he was in sympathy with the plan for the
proposed structure at Ninth and Farnam IL

had sought
Mr.. w S. Strawn offered some of the OBJ
jections to the proposed depot and was an
swered by MIR Webster, Mr.. Farrell Mr..
Benedict and Mr.. Hitchcock
RESOLUTIONS OF APPROVAL.
The following resolutions, presented by a
committee appointed on TeSOluIOnS, were
adopted unanimously:
Whereas The present depot facilities of
the city of Omaha are now and have been
for several years, entirely inadequate TO
accommodate the travelling public, and
Whereas. The building now known as the
Omaha Union depot and maintained by
Union Pacific Railroad companies, is a
disgrace TO our city aud constant menace
to the health and safety OF people travel
ing, and
Whereas, The name and reputation OF the
city of Omaha is being injured on account
of the Chicago, Milwaukee d ST. Paul. the
Chicago, Rock Island IL Pacific and Chi
cago, Burlington q Quincy railway com
panies standing In the way of and refusing
to enter into fair and equitable contracts
to furnish adequate depot accommoda-
tions, and
Whereas. The Omaha Bridge and Terminal
already expended over $1,000 600 in purchase
the Missouri river, and the building of
terminal connections In Omaha, Council
Bluffs and East Omaha, now stands ready
to furnish Omaha with metropolitan
depot at Ninth and Farnam streets that
will cost, including land buildings and rail
road connections. about 81, 900, a depot that
will furnish suitable and adequate depot
facilities for all railroads entering Omaha
at present, and for such other railroads

ture. and such depot as Will reflect credit

1t is designed that street cars run on Far
nam and on Hatney streets, but not on Ninth
street, which will be kept free for the use OF
cabs and other vehicles. The public cab
stands Will probably be on Farnam, and pos
siby on Ninth street. On the Ninth and
Farnam street sides of the building will be
permanent awnings under which carriages
may receive and discharge their burdens.
There are many other accommodations
planned for the convenience OF the travelling
public that have not been mentioned in this
general description of features of the pro-
posed structure. For instance, provision has
been made by which carriages with Invalid
passengers may be driven directly to the train
lobby. There are store rooms under the
Farnam street side of the building for the
accommodation Of the news companies and
sleeping car companies, and, just as new
feature, there Is a miniature jail under the
Farnam street grade for the detention OF
offenders who may come under the care OF
the depot police. Then there are private
stairways and private rooms for the accom-
mediation of those entitled to such considera-
tlon and a whole lot of provisions for the
convenience Of travellers of all classes and
conditions.
The depot building proper will be prac-
tically four stories high, three stories above
the level Of Ninth street. While only the
main floor and the track level will be used
for depot purposes, 1t is planned make
provisions for offices in the two stories above.
Sleeping car companies, agents of foreign rail-
road companies, agents Of the freight lines of
the east and transportation companies of
various kinds are expected to find the Office
accommodations especially convenient fer
their business.
The two stories add much to the appearance
Of the building and the rentals received from
them will lower the expense of the railroad
companies that use the building.
The Omaha Bridge and Terminal company
stands ready to commence work at once upon
the building as soon as six railroads agree
to use the facilities afforded It is guaranteed |
that the rental asked will be less than that !

way of bonus and without cost to the rail-
road companies other than that they use the
depot on rental basis that would not exceed
the cost of maintaining their present terminal
and depot facilities in Omaha.
The prospective of the depot proposed by
the Omaha Bridge and Terminal company has
been on exhibition for some time at the
rooms of the Commercial club and may now
be seen in the show window of Kelley &
Stger, at the corner Of Fifteenth and Farnam
streets. A picture Of the proposed structure
appears In connection with this article. The
plans are the result Of several years work
on the part of the architects who designed
them.
During the Worlds fair at Chicago Mr..
Potter, manager of the Omaha Bridge and
Terminal company, commissioned Fisher &
Lawrie architects Of this city, to prepare
plans for a union depot for Omaha on the
scale of the structure proposed in the COM
pany's present proposition. Mr.. Lawrie was
then In Chicago, where he was Joined by
Mr. Fisher and together they examined the
plans of the depot buildings on exhibition
from this country and from Europe. They
investigated every depot of Importance In
Chicago and have since visited the depots in
st. Louis and the larger cities of the east,
with view of profiing by the experience of
other cities and giving Omaha a building
that will have the best features of all of the
big depot buildings of the country. The
architects feel that their plans contemplate
a depot building that will be as complete as
any structure of the kind in the country.
SIZE OF THE STRUCTURE.
According to the plans proposed by the
company. the depot building proper will have
a frontage of 66S feet on Ninth street and
width Of 140 feet on Farnam The addition
for express companies and the mails will ex-
tend south to Howard street making the
entire length of the depot, including train
sheds, 76S feet. The center Of the depot
building proper will front on Harney street.
The building will be on the italian renaissance
style of architecture. At the Farnam street
corner will be an imposing tower. modelled
after the Campanile tower OF st. Marks.
Venice. This tower will be thirty feet square
and will rise to a height OF 250 feet and will
have near the top an illuminated clock.
Three entrances are designed One in the
center OF the building, facing Harney street,
another at the Farnam street corner and an
other from Farnam street on the north side,
all leading directly TO the train lobby. The
main entrance on Harvey street is empha-
sized by pavilion Of liberal dimensions, In

The Nebraska State Board Of Transporla-
tion will meet at the Commercial club rooms
next Tuesday, November 26, TO further con-
slider the demands Of the citizens Of Omaha
for adequate depot facilities for this city.
While two depot propositions are men,
toned, there Is really but one that Is meet
ing with the favor OF the people and the
men who are interested in building up
Omaha. 1t is The proposition Of the Omaha
Bridge and Terminal company, which pro-
poses to erect magnificent structure at the
foot OF Farnam street, with ample accom-
modations for all OF the roads doing business
in Omaha, without cost TO the city in the

the Ninth street frontage. There are private
offices for the depot master and other Off
cials who will have charge of different de-
partments of the building.
, LARGE AND COMMODIOUS ROOMS.
The train sheds, the train lobby and the
| scene of activity will be on the Eighth street
level, on the floor beneath the part of the
building just considered. This will be
reached from the east side Of the main hall
by wide double staircase, which will furnish
access to the space, the train lobby or the
main hall on the floor which is on level
with Eighth street. On this track level floor
there Is main waiting room 66xl2O feet,
duplicate in size of the waiting room on the
first floor. On the north of the main hall
on this floor will be a large lunch counter,
bar room, parcel room and barber shop On
the extreme north of this floor will be the
emigrants' room, So feet square, in connection
with which are retiring and toilet rooms for
both men and women. Access is provided
from the emigrant room without passing over
the main floor of the building. This entrance
may also be used to accommodate the subur-
ban business, being easier of access than the
route through the main part of the depot.
On the south of the main waiting room on
this floor is the baggage room, 110x114.
This, with the operators room, news stand,
intelligence office and railway postoffice de-
partment occupies floor space 140x160. Just
to give an idea of the size Of the proposed
structure 1t may be observed that the space
set aside for the baggage room and its allied
ground space of the entire building. as pro-
posed at Tenth and Mason streets
This covers the part of the depot proper
that will be used for depot purposes strictly.
South Of the main building is the extension.
two stories in height, that is intended for
the accommodation of the express offices,
transfer lines cab offices and the mail
service. This building Is 2S4 feet long. 1t is
approached from Howard street by an area
way glass rooted. 65x12O feet, which fur
nishes ample room for the arrival and de-
parture of the teams necessary to conduct
the business Of the express companies and the
mail service. Provision has been made on
liberal scale for room for the transaction of
any amount of business in this line.
The train sheds furnish provision for the |
presence of eleven trains at time under |
the depot roof, with ample room for the ac- |
commodation of each train with its pas |
sengers and business without conflicting one |
with another. The train lobby is suffi- |
ciently large to accommodate any business |
that may be expected in Omaha The track |
scheme provides for the entrance of trains

on elevated tracks without the obstacles in
the way of crossings or other features that

depot a structure that will not compare in
any measure with the depot here proposed.
The terminal company will build all of the
tracks and approaches to the depot and no
railroad will be put to penny of expense
for facilities in that direction. 1t is estimated
that the building complete, and it will be fire.
proof, can be constructed for $2,O0O,O0O and
will be ready for occupancy within year.
The building cannot be completed in less
than eighteen months, but 1t is the opinion
of the architects that the track level floor,
train sheds and all parts Of the building
necessary for the accommodation of travel
can be made ready for use within a year.

it's kindred company had, to promote the
interests of the land company that was try
ing to build up East Omaha One of the
obstacles in the way of the development
getting cars to the factories that were being
located there. The company then made an
expenditure of S6OOO0O to secure land from
Nicholas street to its property at Locust
street, and finally built bridge across the
river at an expense of s2,000,000.
HAS BEEN LONG CONSIDERED.
While the company was figuring on the
development of its interests, the demand for
union depot became so great that it was
decided - erect one. The money lad been
secured, and the work of the company had
been going on for several years in formulat-
ing and perfecting the plan now before the
people. When the question of location came
up various sites were considered, and the
decision finally reached that the only point
in the city available and accessible to all the
railroads now In Omaha and those that might
come in hereafter, was the site proposed at
Ninth and Farnam streets.
Mr.. Webster then went on to explain the
proposition OF the company, which has been
published heretofore He explained that the
depot building proper would cost about $780,
900, the grounds and the right Of way would
cost like amount, and the balance Of
$1,000, 600 would be expended in construc-
tion Of tracks. elevated roads and terminal
facilities. He explained that each of the
be required to pay its share, ope-sixth of
per cent on $2O0OO0O. This, Mr.. Webster
explained. would amount to S16,666 per year
for each road. and from this would be de-
Quoted all of the receipts from the rentals
received from the express companies, the
news stands. lunch counters, dining halls
and the like, so that the expense to each
road would probably not exceed $4,000 per
annum. This would be a less sum than is
charged at any Of the union depot buildings
OF the country. He further showed that the
contracts would run for ffty years without
a reappreieement of rentals, SO that however
great Omaha might become, and however
valuable the depot might be to the roads
using 1t, there would be no increase of
rentals for fifty years.
HIGH TIME 1T WERE BUILT.
Mr.. Il. Rosewater was next called upon by
PRESIDENT Phelps. Mr.. Rosewater said that
ne was one Of those who had always had i'm
plicit faith in the future OF Omaha and had
always advocated building for the future. He
referred to the fight on the water works
system in 1879, and recalled his position on
that question in insisting upon the laying Of
much larger mains than were proposed by
one of the companies that was seeking a
