WEST SIDER ASKS WHY EFFORT IS NOT CONTINUED. HE KNOWS OF NO OBJECTION Because Norfolk Avenue , for Technical Reasons , Was Declared Unavailable , This Citizen Sees no Objection to Another Location. " 1 have been rather puzzled by the latest developments In the Norfolk union depot project , " said a west sldo resident to The News yesterday. "First came the action of the Com mercial club giving expression to the general sentiment of Norfolk people favorablcr to the oi'octloir of a union station. Then followed the Interview with the Northwestern railroad offi cials lu which the proposed location of the union station was declared Impos sible for certain technical reasons con nected with the movement of trains. I then saw by The News that "slim prospects" existed for a union station. Now 1 read In the paper that the Com mercial club has ceased Its efforts to secnro a union passenger station for the city. "Tho question In my mind Is this : Why Is a union station no longer with in the range of possibilities ? The only now feature contributed to the situation during the past two weeks , according to my understanding , In the statement of the Northwestern olllclals that a Norfolk avenue station Is not feasible. If they have gone beyond the published statements and declared that no union station is feasible : that of course would put the matter In a different light. I do not know that they have. "Tho Northwestern Is willing to erect a now passenger depot lu the vi cinity of Philip avenue , the nature of the depot according to the newspaper being dependent on the attitude of the city on the Philip avenue closing proposition. Now , why can not this station , to bo erected say between Madison and Ph'Up avenues , bo a union station of a character suited to the present deserts and future require ments of Norfolk ? Are any of the three roads known to bo opposed to such a movement ? "If the scheme I mention Is not Im possible , why can not the Commercial club directors take the matter up with the otllcers on the Union Pacltlc and Minneapolis Omaha roads to ascer tain what their attitude would be to wards a union station Bay between Madison and Philip avenues. If these roads are willing to co-operate the club could then meet the Northwest ern with a definite proposition for ac tion. "Any proposition to secure a depot of any pretensions seems to me to In volve the closing of Philip avenue. This Is a matter on which wo all have our opinions. I have my own homo west of the tracks , but I want to see as fine a depot as possible erected In Norfolk for I think It means much to the town. Any way the people should know the exact facts regarding the status of the union depot situation bc- fore they are called to make up their minds finally on the future of Philip avenue. " Dangers of the Grip. The greatest danger from the grip is of Its resulting In pneumonia. Wo have never known this to occur , however - over , when Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy was used. It relieves the lungs , opens the secretions , allays the cough and aids nature In restoring the sys tem to a healthy condition. Millions of people have used It with the most satisfactory renults.

DISSENSION WILL NOT CEASE Supreme Court Decision Will Not Cause Remonstrators to Surrender Claim That Street Closing Will Work Injustice Town Back at Start. The Injunction Issued by M. Endres and others of Norfolk against Mayor Friday and the city of Norfolk , seek ing to permanently restrain the city council from passing an ordinance closing Philip avenue at the point where It was proposed to build a new depot , has been dissolved by the supreme premo court of Nebraska and the city council has now legal right , If It de sires , to pass an ordinance closing this street. Olllclal notice of the decision of the supreme court has just been received by Attorneys S. D. Robertson , Hurt Mapes and M. D. Tyler , who represent ed the defendant in the case. The decision affirms the decision of Judge Boyd , who was on the district bench when the case came up for hear ing last spring. The opinion was written by Com missioner Duffy. When It came before the supreme court , Judge Barnes re frained from taking any part In the discussion , because of the fact that his homo Is hero , and the other two judges wcro unanimous In supporting the opinion of Judge Duffy. Ends Long Controversy. This decision ends a long legal con troversy. It has been a controversy In which Intense feeling existed. The remonstrators carried out their prom ise to fight the street closing to the last ditch. Pending this decision , the Northwestern railway company has built no now depot to replace the city station which burned more than a year ago. ago.Tho The beginning of the dispute as to legal rights In the street closing matter - tor came when the Northwestern rail road company , after the city station was destroyed , offered to replace the burned structure with a now depot to cost $ Ifi,000 or more , in case the city would close Philip avenue. It was stated that a depot costing less money would bo built , In case the street were not closed. It was given as an argu ment that it was necessary to close the street in order to build a GOO-foot standard platform. And hero the difference of opinion began. A number of citizens residing southwest and west of the depot site argued that the closing of Philip avenue - enuo would work a hardship upon them. They pointed out that upon this street stand two churches and two schoolhouses ; that it is a long resi dence street ; that It was a street much needed by pedestrians and teams. Council Is Enjoined. An ordinance to vacate the street at this point was drawn up. But before It was acted upon by the city council which was said at that time to favor the ordinance , the remonstrators Is sued an injunction restraining the council from passing such an ordl nance. Judge Boyd heard the arguments ol each sldo and dissolved the injunction An appeal was taken to the supreme court. The supreme court now , after many months , afllrms the district court decision. The legal right of the city council to pass an ordinance to vacate Philip av enue for the depot is now established What Will Happen Now ? Hut what will happen now .Is stil another question. Since the councl was first enjoined from passing the ordinance , there has been an election It in not the same council. The qucs tion as to whether or not the ordt nance will pass the present councl has not been tested by a vote. There are eight councllmen. Three are considered unquestionably In fa vor of It. Ono has not stated his posl tion and the power to carry the ordl nance or , by tying the vote , to defea It , lies with him. It Is Impossible to foresee anything but a renewal of the trouble over thl proposition no matter what the nctloi of the council. If the ordinance clos Ing the street Is passed the people 11\ ing west of the depot site are not goIng - Ing to feel any better about It than they did a year ago at the prospect If on the other hand , the council doe not pass the ordinance after It ha been given the right to do so by th supreme court , then there will bo bar feelings on the part of those who wer In favor of closing the street It mean a disagreeable internal row at best Foreseeing this situation , The Now Inaugurated a movement a few week ago to do away with the necessity o closing the street by asking the Com morclal club to act In harmony wit the railroad company to the end o having a union depot which woulc eliminate the whole trouble. The fal uro of this project was publlshet htn the Commercial club at Us last U'ollng continued the committee to ce what further could be done toward 10 name end , but thus far no attempt uis been made by the committee to do nythlng , and moreover It Is stated as > mliig from one of the members of 10 committee that nothing will be one. A Depot Will Soon be Built. A depot to replace the burned struc- ire will soon be built It will be mill this year. If the struct Is closed t will be a better depot than If It is ot closed. This Is the statement lade the other day by General Super- ntendent S. M. Braden to a commit- eo consisting of W. U. Hoffman and ) . MathowMon. ronrosentlng the Com- lorclal club. For more than a year a passenger moll , cramped In room , has served as passenger station. It has been Inad- ( junto and anything but satisfactory. old mornings have found prospective assengers walking up and down the ilatform In the raw winds. The railroad company has come to 10 point whore they will build a depot f Borne kind. The public wants a do- lot of some kind. Norfolk Is right at the point nowhere hero It was before the Injunction was rst Issued , excepting that thp legal Ight of the city council to pass the rdlnanco IH established. The remonstrators have not relln- ulshed their claims that they will boone ono an Injustice if the station is ullt. They have not surrendered lelr argument that their property will o damaged and that the railroad com- mny merely wants a street closed In rder to release it from breaking rains when pedestrians come along nd want to got through. Railroad Says It's Immaterial. The whole matter of the fairness of ho proposition Is put up to the city ouncil by the decision. It is stated y the railroad that it Is Immaterial vhether the street Is closed or not ; hat a depot will bo built , street or no trcot ; that It will be a better depot ! the street Is closed. General Superintendent Bradcn says hat the Northwestern railroad Is not party to the question as to whether ho street shall be closed or not loscd ; that the railroad has made two mslness propositions and that it is or tlio city council to determine which reposition the city shall accept UNION DEPOT. Traveling Man Believes One Should Be Built. Norfolk , Nob. , March 3. Editor News : I want ot put in ono word mont the union depot proposition oncoming the cost to the traveling ublic In hack faro and inconvenience f getting to the stations. If some of ho men had the amount spout In hack are in a year's time , they might have ome more comforts If not luxuries to heir homos. Of course the hack men nay not like this and yet the com- mny can not bo charged with this torn as expense by some of us , and it nust come out of our own pocket and lot the Omaha or Sioux City com- mny.
