YORK GIVES ROAD MONTH TO ACT
Burlington Told TO Build Depot or
Northwestern Gets Business.

Huntington Told to Build Depot or
Northwestern Gets Business.
YORK, Neb, July &.-(SpeciaL)-York
has issued its ultimatum TO the Burling-
ton One month Is allowed the railroad
company in which to furnish explicit as
surances that a depot commensurate with
the size and Importance OF the city will
be built and to grant certain other re-
quests which have been preferred by the
business men time and time again.
The matter came to a head at a meeting
between f. Bignel, superintendent Of the
Lincoln division of the Burlington, and
the members OF the York Commercial club.
Mr.. Bignen, who had come to York to learn
the temper of the citizens. was informed
that for many years the business men had
been petitioning the Burlington to build
depot here in place Of the shed now used,
and that every time a committee met with
the Burlington or made request they
were encoursg ed, but did not receive a
definite promise Mr.. Bignell soon learned
that q united and determined sentiment
had set in against the Burlington railroad.
and that 80 per cent Of incoming and out
going freight and a percentage of passen-
ger travel would be diverted from the Bur
lington to other roads. owing to the refusal
of the Burlington 10 build depot here and
maintain an electric alarm at the grade
crossing on Lincoln avenue. Mr.. Bigneil
was told that the business men Of York
felt hurt and were sore over the continued
refusal OF the Burlington TO take some
decided action and that over nifty OF the
York shippers had pledged themselves TO
divert all business over the Northwestern
unless they had some definite promise that
the Burlington would build a depot here
and grant other reasonable requests.
Owing 10 the continued indefniteness OF
the promises made by Mr. Bignell who
said that York was on the list for a new
depot a motion prevailed to adjourn the
meeting for one month and that during
that time the business men were not to
divert shipments and passenger travel to
the Northwestern, bur that II York is not
assured that a new depot will be built
| here nothing can stop the business men
and shippers from shipping all OF their
freight in and out over the Northwestern
