Station Site Chosen-Decision to
locate the new passenger station in
Moline north of its own right of way
between Nineteenth and Twentieth
streets, has been reached by the Bur
lington road, official announcement be-
ing authorized from Chicago. 1t was
intimated several weeks ago that this
site would be decided on, but definite
action was not taken till this week. I
Engineers in the Chicago offices of the
Burlington road are now busy complet- .
ing sketches and blue prints for the /
depot. Work on the structure will be /.
commenced as soon as title to all prop
erty is secured. There is some work 1
yet to be done along this line that may
postpone building activity for period, /
though it is not thought that the delay
to be occasioned win be a considerable /
one. The passenger platform will ex-
tend the entire block between the .
streets named. thus affordng entrance .
either at Nineteenth or at Twentieth .
street. The station proper, however, I
will be along Twentieth street.
