ABANDON JOINT OFFICE AT TRANSFER
Itiidlenl Move (o lie Mnde April in, On
and After Which Unto Union Depot
In tliiialin In to (ict the
Itunliies,
A radical change Is being planned by the
express companies doing business In Coun
cil Muffs to take effect Monday, April 15.
Tho change contemplated will do away with
the Joint olllce at tho union 1'nclflc trans
fer depot and tho transfer of all ship
ments from one company to nnother will
be made In Omaha. The American Express
company has been planning for some time
to mako tbls change, and yesterday notified
the other companies that on and after
April 15 all transfers of shipments to other
companies would be made by It nt tho
depot In Omaha. It Is said that the other
companies now using the transfer depot as
a transfer olllce will follow the American s
example.
Ever since 1877, whpn thn transfer depot
was erected, the express companies run
nlng Into Council Muffs luvo had a Joint
otllce thero at which all trausfcr of goodo
from one company to another was made,
This offlco was under tho control of the
Pacific Express company, but the expense
of maintaining It was divided pro rata
among the companies dolin; business there.
Tho change Is Important In more than one
respect. It will mean that a number of
clerks at present employed at tho transfer
ollleo will have to look for work elsewhere
unless they should bo transferred to the
Omaha depot. It. II. Orndy, agent nt the
transfer, It Is said, will bo ictaltied as
transfer agent at the Omaha depot, al
though ho has not been officially notified to
this effect. With the transferring of ship
ments tnauo at Omaha only two porters
will he required at the depot here to nssls
the exp e s messengers In transferring ship
ments from and to tho cars.
.Adonis ('(inipniiy .Not .rTeeteil,
Tho only company that will not be nf
fecteii by tho chango will be tho Adams
as for several years past It has done all
Its transfer business at the city ollleo
Tho American, Wells-Fargo, Pacific nnd
United States companies use tho Joint ollleo
at the transfer depot, and the chango may
mean tho reducing of tho local force as
employed by them. Tho change. It Is said
In express circles, will sorely Inconvenience
the Wclls-Knrgo company, as It operates
only nnn train a day that leaves the other
sldo of tho river. All of Its other trains
leave from or arrive at tho transfer depot.
The reason given by the American Ex
picss company for tho proposed chango Is
o save the expense of the Joint ofllri; at
tho transfer depot. While this has been
conducted always on an economical basis.
It has cost 7 per cent of the transfer busi
ness, and tho American says It can savo
this by making Its transfers at tho Omaha
depot, whore It maintains nn offlco.
Subscribers In tho gncsning contest can
register their coupons at the Council nluffs
