ONE OF THE FINEST IN THE STATE Plans Were Shown to Homonstr.itors Last Evening nnd an Effort Made to Hnrmonlze the Differences Over Closing Park Avenue. [ Kroin Tu < < mlny'8 Dully. 1 Blue prints of plans lor the proponed now passenger station of the Chicago & Northwestern have been completed and aio In the bands of the olllcors of the company at thin place. The pinna contemplate the erection of splendid structure 110 feet long by twenty-four feet wide , built of stone and brick , with a heavy massive roof , relieved by a central piojcctlon. The building will thus occupy a space of nearly a half block long , while the train plat form will extend practically the full length of two blocks. The passenger station contemplated In the plans does not Include a freight depot , which Is to be built to the south of the passen ger station within the two blocks , pio- vldod the piopoaltlon of the company Is accepted and the street vacated seas as to make possible the erection of the station according to plans sub mlttod. The Interior of the station Is divided Into two largo waiting rooms , one for women , 21 by B2 , and the other for men , 22 by 21. Opening off from each of those are to ho toilet rooms , con veniently arranged for use of patrons of the rond. Between the two , occupy ing in part a largo bay window , is the ticket olllco and a passage way from ono room to the other. At the south of these rooms is to bo a baggage rexin 1 ! ) by 30. The Interior arrangement Is very similar to the handsome now station of the Northwestern and Mis souri Pacific nt Lincoln. The station if built will bo ono that ( lie citizens of Norfolk will bo proud of , and General Superintendent Hughes gives assurance It will ho the best sta tlon on the line of the Northwestern west of the Missouri river , with the exception of the union stations at Fre mont and Lincoln. General Superintendent Hughes anil C C. Wright of the legal uoparimoni of the Northwestern , who was in the city yesterday , Invited a number of rcmonstrators against the closing of the street so that this station can be built 1 , to meet them at Mapes & Haz- en's office last evening for the purpose of exhibiting the plans , In the hope that town pride would actuate the rein- onstrators to withdraw the remon strance and Injunction , which are act Ing as a clog to prevent the erection ol the building. Those who attended on behalf of tlio rcmonstrators were W. It. Hoffman , Frank Kstahrook , Mike Enders , P. F. Bell , H. A. Pasewnlk , V. NOHOW , and others , with their at torney , Judge Powers. These gentle men are the loaders in the effort to prevent the closing of the street , and they aio representative of the 81 who signed the petition addressed to the city council some time ago remonstrat ing against such proposed action. Be sides , a number of members of the Commercial club , who have been workIng - Ing to secure such a station , were present Superintendent Hughes explained the plans In detail and made the state ment that for the railroad company to erect such a building it will bo neces sary to have ground extending at least COO feet In a continuous strip along { tnelr track. This would neces sitate closing Park avenue across their right ] of way. It was stated by the superintendent that If the company is allowed to put up the building as per plans that it Is also the intention to clear away the old stock yards and other disagreeable features of the neighborhood , and that all that portion tion of the grounds not occupied by buildings and platforms would be nict > ly parked. The reasons wore explained plained why the company could not move tlio station either ono block north or a similar distance south , and that It Is necessary to have that par ticular street If the plans are carried out. Asked what the company will do If ] the street Is not vacated , Mr. Hughes replied that all It can do is to put up the , usual wood station In vogue at ether or towns along the line. The cost of the usual station Is $2,200 , while the ono proposed will cost between $ lh,000and $20,000. This seemed to bo a surprise to some of the rcmonstrators , who carried the idea that the company would build Identically the same sta tion whether the street Is vacated or not. They were assured that this could not bo done and would not bo done , and It was practically up to them whether they would stand in the way of the city securing the station or maUo It possible to get it. After a considerable desultory dis ciisslon of the matter , Mr. Wright sub mltted two propositions : That the whole matter go to the district cour at as early a day as possible , and tha a stipulation bo entered Into that the finding of that court bo considerei final. , and that neither side appeal to the supreme court. This , explained Mr. Wright , would dispose of the matter tor at an early date and would allow the company to commence work on the building right away If the decision were In Its favor , and If not then worl would bo commenced upon the ordl nary station which the company build at other towns in Nebraska. II said the company could not wait fo the case to run through the suprem court for A year before putting up a station here , and It has no disposition to do so The other proposition was ( hut the injunction proceedings be withdrawn , and when ( ho council pass es an ordinance vacating the street It it ( he hinue time nnnio a bimrd of ap pralseis , who shall ho cuupouered to IIHHCSH dnmuKCH to propeiy ( In the neighborhood lesulllng from the clos Ing of the slreel , and ( lint either the company or the property owners may appeal to the conits if ( ho llndlngH of ( he hoard are not siUlsfaclory. Those propositions seemed fair and Hoveral of the lemonstralors expressed the he lief that nil amlciible adjustment of the differences might be brought about nloiig some such lines. The matter as taken under advisement by Out [ 'Dions ! ratois with the promise to con < r with their associates. Mr. Hughes assured his hearers that he erection of ( his handsome ntatlon i Noi folk Is a matter of poiMotuil ride with him , and ho hopes ( ho oil I ens limy get together on ( ho matter Ince the burning of ( he old depot he as worked Incessantly to secure con cut of the nlllclals of the toad In Chi- ago to muko this appropriation , and o wlhat this has been accomplished ow that this has been accomplished > him to see an ordinary station built i 3NE OF THE HEAVIEST COUNTY SESSIONS OF THE YEAR. rtUCH WORK FOR COMMISSIONERS ontracts to be Awarded for Bridges and Addition to Jnll Ansessors Meet With Board to Fix Schedule of Per sonal Property Rates. rFrotn Tuesclny'H Dully 1 The county commissioners are hold ig one of the most Important meet igs of the year at Madison , comment- ig today.
