OF THE NORTHERN PACIFIC
RAILWAY COMPANY.
GOODELL ACCEPTS
Ordinance Providing For Vacation Of
Several Streets to Permit Building
Of Union Station is Unanimously
Adopted by City Fathers-Applause
Greets Action.
from Wednesdays Daily.

From Wednesdays Daily.
According to a clause in the ordi-
nance passed by the city council last
night, whereby several street cross
ings over the Northern Pacific Rail
way company's right OF way are va
Gated to permit the building of a new
$85, 900 union depot between Twenty
third and Twenty-fourth streets, the
construction work on the new struc-
ture must be started within three
months in order that the railway COM
pany may avail itself Of the privileges
granted. The adoption Of the ordi-
nance followed the reading Of the rail-
way company's petition and It's en-
dorsement by w. A. Selvidge OF the
railroad committee Of the chamber Of
commerce on behalf Of that organize
ton.
Immediately after General superin-
tendent Goodell had signed the accept
ance Of the ordinance on behalf Of the
Northern Pacific he stated that con-
struction work on the depot would be
started Just as o as the present oc-
cupants Of the ground move their
buildings. He expressed pleasure
over the fact that the city had acced-
ed to the demands Of the railway COM
pany and the hearty approval Of the
action Of the city council shown by
the citizens.
Question is Live Issue.
That the question of granting the
railway company's petition was a live
issue was shown by the large number
Of business men and other citizens
who attended the meeting of the city
council last night. Both the endorse
ment Of the ordinance by the chambe.
of commerce and its adoption were
greeted with applause.
The adoption Of the ordinance was
unanimous and Mayor Foster stated
that he would take greater pleasure
signing the ordinance than any othe,
he had ever appended his signature
to. Alderman soule declared that he
believed the passage Of the ordinance
not only meant a new depot, but that
both sides of the city would be more
closely allied than ever.
The ordinance provides for the va
cation Of street crossings across the
railway company's right Of way a
Twenty-ffth, s.Twenty-fourth, Twenty
third, Twenty-second, T~wenty-frst ant
Twentieth streets, in consideration O
