To Put End to Agitation for Removal
of Tracks, Railways Plan I'M
provements in Moline.

Moline has prospect of a new union
depot in sight, according to a state
ment made last evening at a meeting
Of the Business Mems association by
H. S. Fristoe, agent for the Burlington.
The directors are again agitating the
project of forcing the railroads to re-
move their tracks to the river front,
which has been under consideration
for about two years. Mr.. Fristoe said
that the railroads are unwilling to con-
slider such a scheme, and that if they
are assured by the club that the propo-
sition will be abandoned, the chances
are that new union depot, or at any
rate. new separate stations will be pro
vided According to Mr.. Fristoe, plans
are already in the hands of the Off
Gals of the roads for a union depot,
and the roads are only waiting to see
what is going TO be done in regard to
forcing the removal of the tracks.

H. H. Bratt, superintendent and one
Of the receivers of the Union Electric
Telephone & Telegraph company, is
kept busy these days denying rumors
that the independent phone property
is to be sold to the Bell company Mr..
Bratt insists that no sale is contem-
plated, and that no overtures have
been made for the purchase of the
plant since the receivership proceed
ings were started here Mr.. Bratt ex-
plains that while it would not be diff
cult to dispose of the plant the COM
pany feels that the two phone lines
are wanted by the people of the tri-
cities, and the new line will remain I'M
der the receivership. He states that
when the Moline ordinance is granted,
the company will proceed under the
franchises and install the automatic
service and other improvements con-
templated by the company before the
plant was turned over to the receiv-
ers.
