Special to Times Republican,
Dubuque, Oct. Is Announcement is
made at Stockton. H., a small town east
of here, that the Great Western rail-
way officials have secured an option
on a large tract of land and are plan
ming to remove its division headquarters
from Dubuque to that point. The reas-
on for the proposed change is the prox-
unity OF Dubuque 10 Oelwein, where
the company's general shops are To-
Gated and which is the converging
point of the several main lines.
The report confirms Il rumor that has
been in circulation in Dubuque for three
weeks, but which has been denied by
local officials of the company The
Great Western is said to have secured
an option on 340 acres of land two and
Il half miles east OF Stockton. Ill, and
it is openly talked by employees of the
road that the railroad division will be
moved from Dubuque to Stockton, or
rather to a new town thar must he es-
tablished on the land TO be secured east
of Stockton. AS ii is necessary that al
trainmen reside within one mile of the
companys shops it will be necessary
to build up practically new town
Great Loss to City.
If the division is moved. it means
a great loss to Dubuque There are
now located in Dubuque fifty-two
train crews of five men each. a total
of $50 men. There are about fifteen
men on the extra list and about sew
enty-five men employed at the shops
a. total of about $50 men who will be
affected by the change. This means
that the moving of the division to
Stockton will take about 1920 people
from the city. The monthly payroll
over $4,000, an item which, il taken
away from the city, means a great
deal to the business men.
Trainmen Opposed.
The proposed removal of the divi-
sion to Stockton is not favored by the
trainmen and shopmen, in fact every
one is said to be dissatisfied with the
prospects. The company claims that
because Of the short run from Du-
buque to Oelwein it is compelled to
pay about 100000 annually in excess
mileage to trainmen and that by NOV
ing the division to Stockton, it Will
| obviate this excess mileage charge. It
is now stated that rather than be com
