on Market square from being lost

lowing the scale house to be used as

of the present city administration.
Such a Disagreement of public

jected-To Use Old
Barn Here.

Of the Tri-City Railway company, to-
day ordered the removal of the car
shops of the company to Rock Island,
where there are the accommodations
| that have been so long sought in Dav-
export and where the company hopes
for more generous consideration at
the hands of the city council in the
event it has any future favors to ask
in line with those that were denied
by the Iowa city fathers.
The company had made number of
concessions in hopes of securing per-
mission to use a portion of. Rock Isl
and street in Davenport. where it had
acquired additional property and eX-
pected to invest quite sum in the
erection of new shops. but the coun-
ell stood steadfastly against favoring
the company. Overture after overture
was made, and finally the threat that
the company would be obliged to re-
move its shops to Rock Island if the
request was not acceded to.
Mayor Becker Vetoes
The city council. after twice re
iecting the ordinance, asked that tho
company employ conductor for
each car in operation. This was
granted, and the measure was put to
= vote Saturday night and carried by
Il vote of five and three. But before
the meeting had ended Mayor Becker
announced he would veto the ordin-
ance. An attempt was made to pass
it over the mayors objection, but t
failed.
So today. feeling all moves on the
other side of the river had been eN-
hausted, the company announced the
order for bringing the shops to Rock
Island. They Will occupy the old car
barn on Fifth avenue.
Now that the climax of the affair
has apparently been reached, develop
ments will be watched with much in
