10 TIIE OMAHA" DAILY BEE: TflUKSD AT. SEPTEMBER 1. 1001. SWITCHING FEES ARE RAISED Charges Advinoed by Union Pcifio u ' Latert Blow te Omaha. GRAIN EXCHANGE MEN WROUGHT UP Tfcoagh Apirlar la TfcU Actios, They Brmi It Me. DIm erlaslaatl.a Against Local C.m aacrelal Interests. ! The Union Paclflo hu Just announced the I anticipated abolishment ef the usual switch ing charges on (rain forwarded east by connecting roads, haa abolished entirely tho method that haa been In vogue tor year of turning over cara on this aide of the- river at a 13 a car switching rate and : will hereafter deliver the cara at Council ' Bluffs at 1 cent for each 100 pound. By this new schedule the Union Pacific evidently expects to exact a bridge toll of considerable proportlona from the grain , shippers or the connecting lines. At praa ent the latter have assumed the burden, but the grain shippers have a fear that In a ! short time they will be called upon to bear ' the burden, which .they claim la unjust, ' unreasonable, unnecessary and plainly in the line of discrimination against Omaha that haa become so fashionable of late. "There Jsn't any question but that the matter will be brought to the attention of the Omaha Grain exchange and the Com- ' rnerclal club and that an effort will be ; made to force the Union Pacific to . re consideration of its latest move against Omaha," said a strong man in commercial 'circles. What It Means la Honey. By the change tn manner of delivering I grain and the method of charging, the ex- 'pense Is Increased from $3 a car to 15, $6, 17 or even 18 a car. according to capacity of the car. . Now the Average load to a car of wheat probably Is 70,000 pounds which would mean 17 a car. More than this the Wrest Western, Rock Island and Milwaukee will not be allowed to take their cara over on this side but must await their delivery by the Union Pacific in Council Bluffs. . In illustration, a car shipped from Omaha Tow, averaging 70,000 pounds, at a 12-cent I hundred rate would cost $84, plus 17, the new over-the-brldge charge, or $91 as com pared with 187 under the rates In vogue before this new era of things. t Aa yet the eastern roads have "absorbed" (the advance, that is have taken the Union 'Pacific's burden upon themselves, but they 'trongly object to the change and go so far aa to accredit' the movement to a de rartre on the part of the Union Paclflo to I '"play even on bridge tolls." , Grain shippers are quite excited over the I action of the Union Pacific and express P the -opinion hat unless strong protest u 'made this will ha followed by even further Increases, eventually reacting on the young and promising grain exchange. CHAIRS FOR THE AUDITORIUM QSeats Are nought and First Twenty- Five Hundred Will Be Here f Kext Week. ; I Manager J. M. Gillan. haa returned from ' Chicago, where he Went on business con nected with the Auditorium. Mr. Qillan looked over the balcony seats for which the contract was let three weeks ago to the American School Furniture company. The first car of the 2,500 chairs will be shipped next Monday and the rest in a week. The chairs are of Iron frame, birch seats, backs and arms, and are. Manager. Gillan states, of a better pattern than the kind used In the Chicago Coliseum. The flre-proofers will begin their work In the balcony next Saturday and as soon as that part of the work is done the chairs will be installed. . 7 The prosrects for a season of roller skating at the Auatttorium this autumn are encouraging. There is , some question whether the bard-pine floor of the Audi torium will stand the racket for any length of time, so to, determine this point Man ager Gillan will have someone skate ovej a small portion of the floor for a few day and note the effects. Hardmaple floors are commonly used for roller skating. Speak ing of the evolution of roller skates, .Mr. Qillan says the latest patterns make the port more of a pleasure than ever. The hollow steel 'or aluminum style is much In (vogue In the east at present. It la esti mated the Auditorium will accommodate bout 1,000 skaters. '. Bousa and his band will be at the Audl Herlum Monday evening, October 8. f VALUE WAY BELOW THE COST f,ets City Paya ever Thoaaaad For HeloJ at Less than Six ,' ' Hemdred, ? .' ' : .Just why the city had to pay $1,200 for 'lots on the southeast corner of Forty- ' eighth and Leavenworth streets that the . municipal appraising board has just valued ; at $575, is a problem that some of the peo ple around the olty hall are trying to solve. Sometime ago E. C. Woleott, representing clients, made proposals to buy the lota The matter- went to the appraising com (filttee fori a' report. This Is the gist of fftmat the appraisers have communicated to the council: We And upon Investigation that said lots re known as lots U and 12, block 2, Hherl dan Place. We also And that the city f purchased said lots, In 1W for the sum of $1,200, in order to secure a right-of-way aarosa said, corner for the Saddle Creek "r. The sewer Is now completed across aid lots and crosses both of them diag onally from the northeast to the south west. The lots ere filled ground and ulno ,Jelow grade They coniponed part of the old. creek bod,, and we should Judge it would be quite expensive to get the proper footing for a building. We also And that the oounty treasurer has had said lots in Is scavenger list for a total of IliO.KS taxes. The report was approved by the council, but later referred to the city attorney, so ' the taxes could be stricken off. . Modern Woodmen or America. I . Special Train to 8L Louis. The M. W.
