NO WAITING ROOM
Junction Will Not Have One
AfterAlI- Saloons Lease
in the Way.

More talk has sprung up about the
Traction Company securing the corner at
the junction for waiting room, but it
is very doubtful if the waiting room will
ever be established.
John Kaiser, who runs saloon there
at present, has three years yet to remain
according to the terms Of his lease. 1t
was stated that the Traction 9 n.pany
would purchase the property when the
lease expired.
Mr.. Kaiser announced last night that
the place was valuable to him for his
business and that he would buy it If It
was for sale when his lease expired.
Il wall pay more than the Traction
Company will.'' said he. ssand will doubt
less get the place should it be offered for
sale. The Traction Company will not
pay the price demanded. while will. !"
This means practically that no wait
ing room will be built at that site.

IMPROVEMENT USELESS.
