and City Attorney Arthur Scl1aub in
Judge Lorin Cray's office in the
National Citizens bank building yes.
terday afternoon on the question of
stopping the switching across Main
street by the Milwaukee road. 1t
was decided by the council and by
the railroad men that the switching
would cease as soon as satisfactory
alterations In the yards could be
made. ~ - ~. f'E i
The officials said that they had
come for information as to how the
city would prefer to have the yards
arranged and submitted "a blue
nrint of their proposed changes for
the councils approval. The funda-
mental changes appeal TO the coun,
Gil very favorably. and with some
minor attentions, they will probab-
" be accepted and a franchise
granted the company to build their
yards farther south. ~. -. .
The yards will extend south" from
Main street, and the making up OF
.he trains will be made from south,
north to the freight depot, instead OF
from north south as is now being
lone. This will reduce the Main
street switching to a minimum, as
