Attorney Rich ef the Union Pacific

explained the situation as ssea from the
Union Facile standpoint Sapt Bax
ter and Abstracter Sayer gave assistance
ed advisable to
Ha talk to the assembled eitmen
to the propomtioa of re-
rcaening to travel
the TJ. P. track. P street the oae
ia which the freight depot now stand
and placing the new proposed freight
depot oa M street than closing that
street aa a rrnsm'sg over the track. He
very adroitly represented hie company,
setting forth that the directors had de
cided upon thin location for several
reasons, mainly because they owned the
land; that it would beeonveniently near
their paassngsr depot; he claimed that
comparatively few people would be dis
commoded by each location; that their
object in double tracking between this
and Schuyler is to have room for
transferring for their branch lines; that
the long freight traina would mostly be
handled out of the city, the yard engine
doing the yard work; that Columbus
has more open streets crossing railroad
tracks than any other place in Nebraska
according to its sme exactly the same
aa Omaha has; that M street has been
used by the road for aboat forty years,
etc.; to make the improvements deter
mined upon, $108,000 had been appro
priated, and the grading between this
and Richland waa nearly done. He
spoke of-the mutual interests of the
company and the city, and declared that
if they could not be allowed to place the
new depot in M street it would be an
enormoaa inconvenience to the com
pany. He then asked for questions or sug
gestions by those interested, when H. T.
Spoerry expressed his views in regard to
K street representing interests on the
southwest corner of Eleventh and K.
He made some strictures on the 1877
deal, but evidently did not tell all he
knew concerning it; be didn't pretend
to represent any street crossing bnt K,
in which he waa interested.
A. Boettcher spoke with special refer
ence to business interests on Eleventh
street and remarked that lengthy freight
traina going west and stopping at the
depot would lap over L street and those
going east would lap over and interfere
for the time of stoppage with travel on
the Olive street crossing. He said that
railroad companies did not alwfiyj fulfill
their prom ions or keep the letter of the
law, going somewhat into particulars.
J. D. Stires spoke for the opening of
M street. He thought n much better
place for the city's interests, as well aa
the company's would be at least two
blocks east of the proposed site, where
doubtless considerably more land could
be had for a lees price that their surplus
this way would bring. Opposite the B.
k M would be, it seemed to him, the
most fitting place, not interfering with
the central business, at least, of the city.
The future welfare of the city and the
railroad is a consideration not to be over
looked, and this should be the main
thing for determining present action.
There should be no fanciful considera
tions at all spoken of aa decisive of the
dispute. The convenience of the public
is the controlling thought what does
necessity demand?
We have not aimed to give his exact
language.
We did not stay the meeting out, sat
isfied there was intended no expression
by a vote of those present the meeting
simply called for the purpose of con
firming opinions already formed; if pos
sible, allaying any feeling against the
carrying ont of a fixed purpose by the
railroad, and beyond that developing, if
so it may be, the line of action by those
opposed.
In brief, the talk of Mr. Rich, reduced
to few words, was: The company has
given its best thought to the whole sub
ject, looking at it in all its bearings; has
drawn its plans; we wish to do what ia
fair, and see no other way than that we
have planned. We ' are not seeking
trouble or conflict. How is it with you?
Can we agree or must we contest?
