THE UNION STATION PLANS.
Northeast Citizens Association In.
dulges in Criticism.


Further objections to certain details in
the plans for the construction Of the new
union station were developed at the meet
ing Of the Northeast Citizens Association
Monday evening Many speeches were made
In criticism of the railroad companies,
which were alleged to have violated their
promises to the government in several
phases of the work of construction of the
new terminal and it's approaches. Mr..
Tucker, the president of the association,
addressed the meeting at some length on
this topic. He expressed the belief that
the railroads are adopting a penurious
policy, which will initiate against the
beauty of the great building. They told
u.s.. he said, they were going to erect a
handsome car shed that would cover with
its arch thirty-six tracks. Now we are
told they will have little separate train
sheds, against the roofs Of which the coal
smoke will rise only to descend again
and fill our eyes and mouths"
Sharp criticism was indulged in of the
policy of the engineer department of the
District in the narrowing of many of the
city's streets. A resolution was intro
duced by Mr.. Sowerbutts calling upon
Congress to insert in the act covering
appropriations for work on the streets of
the city during the fiscal year of 1905 a
provision forbidding the narrowing of
the rOadways of any improved streets.
i ne dctiOH Oi the engineer Oepdrtme In
reducing the width of a number of streets
from thirtyfve feet to thirty feet met
with the severe condemnation of a large
number of those present.
motion made by Mr.. Fleming which
was adopted. provided for correspondence
with the several other citizens associa-
tions of the District soliciting their CO.
operation and aid in having better
quality of gas furnished throughout the
city.
The meeting instructed DR.. Walter to
endeavor to have the police to require
that the gates be kept open at the 7th
street crossing of the B. and o. railroad
all night. At present, DR.. Walter stated.
on the information contained in several
complaints forwarded to him, those gates
are closed down after II o'clock at night
and remain closed until the next morn
ing. 1t was held that this would prevent
the ready access of fire engines to that
section of the city in case of need
The meeting adopted motion asking
the board of assessors TO send to the
secretary a list of all property in the
District enjoying exemption from taxa
ton because of its ownership by educa
tional, religious or charitable institu-
tons. The association is opposed to the
exemption of any real property from tax
alton for any reason.

Grain Elevator Burned.

The grain elevator of the r. H.
Bunch Grain Company at Little Rock
was destroyed by fire with loss of
about $4,000. Joe Gardner, a negro
laborer in the elevator, was missing
after the fire and is thought to have
lost his life in the flames. The lack
of water pressure handicapped the
work OF the fire department The fire
is supposed to have started in some
manner from a gasoline engine in the
central part of the elevator The total
insurance on the building, stock and
machinery was $4,000. Seven box
care and number of yard offices of
the Choctaw railroad were burned
wish loss of about $4,000. The ware
house and elevator of the Bunch
Grain Company at the same location
was destroyed by fire six years ago.

Almost a Total Loss.

ment on the damage done to fruit by
the late cold weather: THE frost

having almost entirely wiped out the
apple crop. The apples were almost
as large as bird eggs and were simp-
ly frozen on the trees. Some few
orchards on very high ground, or
where the trees were close together
and the foliage very heavy. may es-
cape with few apples. but it is safe
to state that not less than Is per cent.
of the entire crop has been killed.
This. indeed. is quite a calamity 10
the fruit section, as the trees were
very heavy-laden and the outlook was
for the largest crop of apples ever
known in the state"

surprise has been sprung at Lit
tie Rock by residents of the Eighth
ward. who propose to take advantage
OF an act passed by the last general
assembly and form separate city.
The act referred to was passed os-
tensibly to enable small towns to
consolidate by consent of the voters,
but it now appears that it was the
work of shrewd residents of the Eighth
ward, who desired to set up an in
dependent city government for that
part OF the city north of the Arkan-
sas river. Some months ago a small
settlement on the north side, outside
the city limits, was incorporated, and
it is to this territory it is proposed
to connect the Eighth ward, with the
consent of the voters thereof and of
the town Of North Little Rock The
act under which it is proposed to ac-
complish the above provides that
upon petition the city council of the
town to which said territory is to be
annexed shall order an election to be
held in that town and in the territory
which is to be annexed In this way
only North Little Rock and the
Eighth ward will have vote in the
Annexation, and the south side nor
the city council of Little Rock proper
will be consulted about the matter.
The scheme is being bitterly opposed
by citizens of the South Side.
