Three switch engines (which have
bsen standing in the local l. O. shop

done in the local yards. One was
burned out and rendered useless and

NO GOOD SITE FOR
THE NEW TIN SHOP
Several Changes Proposed in
the |. G.. Yards.
The Master Mechanics Office May Be
Moved TO Eleventh and
Broadway.
1T Is NOT YET DECIDED ON

The plan OF the Illinois Central for
building new tin shop here has
struck . snag as no desirable location
has yet been selected.
An official proposes q very good
plan which he thinks will be carried
through il pushed hard enough. This
is tn remove the master mechanics
shop. The store room department
could still be kept in the building but
the offices of the master mechanic ana
his clerical force could be moved If
the plan is carried out, to the north
west end OF the round house, where
new offices will be built. The cost of
new Office for the master mechanic
will be comparatively little more than
new tin shop, and will be far better.
inasmuoh as all noise from the shops
will be eliminated, and the clerks can
work TO better advantage
This plan has been suggested and
will be accompanied by the approval
Of the several local officials. The site
selected for the new office is nearly in
the same place the old dispatchers
office stood. II the dispatehers offices
are finally moved to Broadway. this
will bring all officials closer together
and better results can be obtained.

SHORT SESSION
Board of Public Works Held a
Meeting Last Evening.
Will Ask the Council to Order Pave.
ments on West Broadway.

The Board of Public Works held .
brief meeting last night, and decided
TO recommend to the general council
the Improvements of West Broadway
to Fountain Avenue by paving the
sidewalks, and that the city pay half
the cost in order to get the property
necessary for the sidewalks, which
some Of the residents refused to give
unless the city would agree to pay
nslf the cost Of the pavements.
Bids were opened for improving an
alley from Tenth street into the block
bounded by Norton and Jones, but the
letting of the contract was postponed
until tomorrow night. The board then
adjourned to meet Friday evening to
take up other matters.
At Friday nights meeting the mat
ter of formulating the quarterly re-
port of the board Of public works will
be taken mp. The report will take in
everything done from April to July
and is very tedious matter.
The ordinances for the storm water
sewer on Court street, the double
tracking franchise proposition offered
by the street car company, the Myers
and Bridge street, the drainage on
West Clay street and other matters
will also be brought up.
The engineers report ON the West
CLAY street survey is in and il follow.
ed out will cost quite neat sum to
perfect the drainage. The engineer
recommends that the street be raised
for two squares. and the water thrown
over via Harrison and 10th street into
Bradshaw's creek. This will be the
only way the deficient drainage can
be remedied.

BRIDGE CASE
Railroad Commissioners in Ses-
sion at Grand Rivers.
Are Still Investigating the Claims of
Three Counties For Bridge Tax.

Railroad Commissioners Med. Fer.
gusou and @. u. McChord. went to
Grand Rivers this morning to hear
evidence IN the contest case between
Livingston, Lyon and Marshall coun-
ties over the tax assessment Of the I'LL
nois Central bridge whion spans the
river at the junction OF the three
counties.
The case Is peculiar one and the
evidence will probably be concluded
today. In speaking Of the case Com
missioner Ferguson stated: The
taxes on the bridge amounts to but
little, and had heretofore been col
lccted jointly by the three counties.
Livingston county is claiming juris-
diction to the low water mark and the
other two counties are claiming juris-
diction to the middle OF the river
We will have 10 decide the boundary
lines snd even after this las been
reached whichever county gets the
better OF the decision will profit
little"
The railroad officials treat the mat
ter with Indifference and are watch
ing the outcome with little interest.
The commissioners expect TO finish
the case today but do not know when
they will render decision. This is
the second meeting they have held,
the frat one being st the Palmer
House three weeks ago.
