A NEW BUILDING
For Central Fire Station Is Favored
BY Many, People.

The public sentiment for the construc-
ton of new Central fire station build
ing on the lot recently bought by the city
from Martin Bartlett. instead of remov-
ing the old house to the lot, is growing
every day and many n the larger tax
payers and city officials can see the
feasibility of such move. 1t has been
figured that new brick house on that
lot could be constructed for about sl2 900,
which would take care of the appara-
tus now at the Central station and Hose
Hose 2 About 5000 could be realized
from the sale of the Hose property
The cost Of moving the present quarters
Of the Central teams to the new lot and
putting them in proper condition would
reach approximately 5000 and would
consume over two weeks time This
amount of money expended for only a
temporary arrangement would pay the
interest on the $1,000 for several years.
This cost. coupled with the ineonveu-
fence and the knowledge thai some time
or other another change would be neces-
sary has caused the FIRE committee and
other officials TO hesitate in the matter
Another argument in favor of the i'm
mediate construction Of the new station
would be conditions on that street. The
residents of that community, il has beer
stated. would willingly donate an amount
toward the building, instead of having
the old station in their midst. The Wa

practically tied up at this point while

THE ENGINEERS DIFFER
With Gen. Bixby in What viii Be
Learned About Wreck of Maine.

Havana. June 27.--The work on the
wreck of the battleship Maine is stin con-
hned to balancing the contents of the cyl
inders, caulking and dumping into the cof-
fef-ddm broken stone.
Surprise has been excited here by the
OPT nions attributed to Gen. W. H. Bixby,
CHEF of the engineers in charge of the
Work, who upon his arrival at Tampa
was quoted as saying that he did not ex-
pect that the secret OF the Names de-
struction would be revealed or that the
bodies would be recovered
The engineers here feel that the first be-
lief is not fully justified in advance of the
exposure and examination of the ships
bottom. They also have strong expecta-
tons of discovering the bones of many
sailors when the berth deck and the sec
ton below is reached.

Looking TO Meal Prices

The movement launched by the
Kansas Live Stock association to find
out who gets the money in the meat
business, is being worked out by ].
II. Mercer, secretary Mercer is
sending out letters to members Of the
association in every county in the
state asking them to secure certain
information. He wants them to find
out what the retail meat dealers are
receiving from their meat on the block
and what the retailer pays the pack
er. He is writing to the packer to
find out what he charges the retailer.
The compilation of figures resulting
from these letters is expected to show
where the money goes. .,
Members Of the association claim
there is too big spread in values
between the prices paid to them for
their live stock and the prices the
consumer pays for bis meat on the
block. The association agreed to
make the investigation at a meeting
held in Topeka two weeks ago.
