Story That Rock Island Roads
Roundhouse May Be Re-

RECENT LAND PURCHASE THERE.

Persistent Talk That 1t is Possessed
be Occupied fer other Than Yard Pur-
poses. Although OmcIaI Information Is
Not ObtaInabIe.
While no direct information can be
obtained from officials of the COM
pany, the rumor will not down that
the Rock Island road is the possessor
of the tract of land purchased few
days ago in Moline for $4,000. a
transaction mentioned in THE ARGUS
the property is to be occupied for
yard purposes by the company, and
possibly may be the future location
of the roundhouse now situated in
this city, or at least part of it.
1t is known that the company is
cramped for yard accommodations in
Moline, from which point it's freight
business is large and growing. and in
Rock Island, too, the road, although
enjoying extensive yard accommodate
tions, could use more.
Casting About for Land.
For several years the company has
been searching about for 4 suitable
strip of land, and it is believed this
has been secured in Moline. Whether
it will result in the eventual loss to
this city Of the roundhouse or other
terminal advantage, remains for time
to tell, although it is hardly pos
sible that the company, so closely
allied with Rock Island, will sever
any of it's relations, at least to the ex-
tent that reports have represented.

The consensus of public opinion

solution that involves the abandon
ment of municipal control. While
many hold to the idea that the quick
est and best way out of the difficulty
is for the city to build and own the
warehouse and thereby be done with it.
the suggestion that has been made
that the packet companies be author
lied to put up the building and give
to the city proportionate interest in
it, and the authority to control it aud
to dispose of any disagreement that
may arise, is not unpopular.
