LAYING Tracks LEADING 70
PROPOSED STRUCTURE.
MOVING WAREHOUSES;
5abcock Hardware Company Asks
City Councils Permission to Move
Their Carriage Repository to An
other Site at Once.

Work on the tracks leading to the
new union depot, which will be built
in Billings as soon as the occupants
Of the ground selected as a site, have
moved their buildings, was started
yesterday. superintendent Nicols OF
the Northern Pacific was in the city
to superintend the wo.k.
The Billings Hardware company
started yesterday, moving their stock
from their warehouse, which occupies
. part Of the ground selected as a
site for depot and approach, to their
new warehouse on the south side OF
the tracks and on Twenty-ffth street.
As soon az the company has moved
its stock It Is probable that the build
ing will be moved to another site or
torn down.
Last night the Babcock Hardware
company asked permission Of the
city council to move their carriage
repository from the site. just east Of
the Yellowstone valley mills, to tn
i've lots On Montana avenue adjoin-
ing the Commercial hotel and what
was the old opera house site. The
petitioners ask immediate action
on the petition as the company in
tends moving the building wllnin the
next few days in order to permit
starting work on the new depot and
the approaches.
Only Temporary Location.
The hardware company's building
is 50 feet wide and 80 feet in length
and according to It's petition the com
pany intends placing the building in
the center of the five lots and will
move It before July 1, 1902. The
building is covered with corrugated
iron and the roof is freproofed with
asbestos and iron. "a special COM
mittee will look into the petition at
once and they have power to act on
1t. X.
It is understood that the contractor,
q Mr. Johnson OF Chicago, who built
the Seattle depot, has shipped mater
lal for the new structure here, and
will push the work on the depot with
all expediency. Time and again rail.
road officials have declared that the
depot would be built as soon az the
ground is vacated and now that a
move to vacate the ground at once is
started 1t is believed that work on the
depot will start.

AS It is now, all of the men arrest

so much commotion that office work
and privacy is Impossible.
Chief Talgo intends making many

manner that pictures and descriptions
OF criminals will be more accessible.
Numerous reforms, which will place

WOULD RAISE LICENSE
Introduces Ordinance Which Would

$500 a Month-F-ith Refuses un-

Alderman Woods aimed what will
undoubtedly be death blow at the
pool rooms OF the city, where the re.
suits Of races are received, at last
nights meeting Of the city council by
introducing an ordinance which pro
vides for the raising Of the licenses
Of pool rooms from $50 a month to
$500 a month Alderman Firth refus.
Led unanimous consent for the pass.
age OF the ordinance, consequently it
will lie on the table for the next 80
days.
Nj. Woods admitted last night that
the ordinance was intended as q pro.
hibitive measure and the only reason
Alderman Firth gave for refusing I'M
animous consent to the ordinance
was, that 1t was prohiblrive and con
sequently deprived the city OF a
source Of revenue.
The ultimate adoption Of the ordin-
ance was indicated by the fact that
Alderman Firth was the only one OF
the six alderman present, to refuse
unanimous consent for It's passage.
Should both Of the aldermen absent
last night, Alderman Brewer and
statfek, oppose the ordinance-and
1t is said that this Is Improbable
then, It would become effective, II
when introduced again, the same SEN
timent prevails as prevailed last
night.
Original License Was SO.
Originally the license for pool
rooms was so a month, but last Dec.
ember this was raised to $50 a month.
At that time the managers Of one Of
the local rooms had his license paid
three years In advance, but this made
little difference, since he was forced
to meet the raise.
Now the owner Of the three year
license Is demanding his money back
for the balance or the time, which the
license was to run, but there nas been,
a discussion between the men inter-
ested in the pool room originally as
to who owned the license and this
complicated matters considerably.
This difficulty has been settled now
and last night the matter Of adjust
ing the claim Of the owner OF the
unexpired license and a general !
vestigation Of the matter Of pool room
licenses was referred to the license
committee. Il
