The meeting waa held at the Maen

Ang. Wagner secretary.
J." ix annas
who wss called npon first to speak, said
that hart done to a part of the city, was
a hart to the whole city. The position
of the Union Paciic dividing the central
business portion of the city ia anfortu.
nate. The best interests of all are really
alike. There mast be more or less con
tention, when it is our duty to halt and
consider what is bast He then reviewed
the city as platted, the streets laid out,
and the arrangement that was entered
into in 1877 by which the freight and
passenger depot to remain in P street,
and asked this very important query:
after the opening of P street, why not
open M street, also, or further close it?
If ever a valuable structure is allowed
to be erected in M street, it will be with
no little labor that it is got ont Every
street shonld be kept open. Suppose
anyone of us should petition for the
erection of an opera house in the middle
of the street Of course, the council
could not think of granting it! Bnt
when the railroad company asks for a
freight depot, they are ready to surren
der at once. He said he could not think
the council are corrupt The assessed
valuation of railroad property is dis
tributed in bulk, and divided np all
along the line, so that there ia no special
advantage in assessment Placing a val
uable, heavy structure in the middle of
the street, they will thereby mean to
close it forever.
WALTKB PHILLIPS.
The speaker said he had been advo
cating the opening of M street for years.
In 1890, when a member of the city
council, and again in "94 and 95. He
didn't claim any more foresight into the
future than anybody else, bnt in his
opinion, the future of Columbus required
the opening of M street. When a num
ber of streets are used, people will nat
urally take the safest the ones having
the least element of danger. He gave it
as his opinion that the accident result
ing in the death of Mrs. Dishner would
not have occurred had M street been
open. North street, a street on which
there is now more than the usual amount
of travel, will be a street shunned by all,
as dangerous to cross. A great many
small children go from one side of the
track to the other to attend school, and
they need as safe a crossing as can be
had, and as many of them. The freight
depot in the middle of the street will be
an eye-sore to the entire community
around it, just aa it has been to one after
another of the baneful influences of the
old building. Switching each side of
the bnsiness part of the town will be the
order of the day and night A commit
tee had endeavored to get the company
to place their depot further east but
nothing could be heard except a closing
of M street.
i. oluck's address.
At the request of some of the leading
bnsiness men and heaviest taxpayers of
the city, this meeting has been called by
the citizens of Columbus for the express
purpose of expressing their sentiments
and airing their grievances on account
of the city council not respecting their
wishes 'to pass a certain ordinance in
troduced some four months ago for the
opening of P and M streets, strengthen
ed since by a petition from nearly 400
voters and tax payers praying them to
do so, and for the further reason of
hearing from some of the conncilmen
why they don't comply with the request
of said petitioners.
As I said before, about four months
ago an ordinance was introduced in the
city council to open up P and M streets.
At about that time a project was then
also on foot to bnild an opera house on
east Thirteenth street in this city. At
that time everybody, irrespective of lo
cation, was enthusiastic to have both
streets opened, snd one of the chief pro
moters of this enterprise, who was then
and is yet a councilman of the Second
ward, assured us all that both streets
will snd must be opened; that the open
ing of M street especially will be a great
benefit to Eleventh and Thirteenth
streets; that it will do away with the
feeling that has heretofore existed be
tween the so-called north and south
side; that harmony will once more pre
vail and henceforth we will have a united
Columbus no north, no south, no east
or west Columbua And another lauda
ble reason for his advocating the open
ing of M street waa that it would give
the children from the south side better
access in going to and coming from the
High school, instead of now going two
blocks ont of the way. Said ordinance
was read the first and second time with
out a dissenting vote, and then referred
to the judiciary committee, which was
just and proper, bnt in whose hands it
has ever since rested snd sleeps that
sleep that seems to know no awakening.
At about that time, and in anticipation
of the council passing the said ordinance
to its third reading and final passage,
and relying on their doing so, I bought
some valaabla property on Eleventh
street which I intended to improve by
erecting three brick stores 22x90 feet
snd so was Prof. Leavy, who owns an
adjoining lot The cellars were dug,
plans snd specifications made and esti
mates for the cost of said buildings re
ceived, when lo and behold! the opera
hoase scheme collapsed snd a sudden
change of heart comes over some of the
conncilmen and the said ordinance waa
sidetracked and has not, np to this time,
come before the council for further con
sideration. Fellow citizens! Can yon see the nig
ger in the wood pile? If not, I will tell
yon the reason why all this fine work
waa done. When certain schemers
Thirteenth street lot boomers, railroad
cappers snd railroad attorneys learned
of the probable passage of this ordi
naace, secret conclave was held by them
snd a resolation waa then and there
passed, if in any way to prevent it by
fonl means or fair .that Eleventh street
must not be improved to that extent, aa
it will hurt the fellows on the other
side. And so a scheme wss concocted
by all means to kill the ordinance relat
ing to the opening of M street to st
once notify the U. P. officials that dan
ger was ahead, and in conjunction with
the R. R. company try and blockade the
passing of said ordinance. They were
promptly on hand at the next regalar
eating, bat no action wss taken with
to the Boashag of aaaw at that

ether from time to
ia,aadat the first meetiagof the
new eonneil a petition with almost 400
signers waa broaght in praying; them to
psss said ordinance anal open said
streets, Bat no, my fallow eitisens, the
citizens of this town have no rights
which an aatooratie city eonneil is
bonnd to respect, and it has come ton
pretty pass when a government of the
people, by the people aad for the people,
foaaded npon the eoaasnt of the gov
erned w nothing more nor less than a
sham and a mockery. Bnt instead of
doing; what the people asked them to do,
and that is to pass said ordiaaace then
and there, it was referred to a special
oommittee for reference sad investiga
tion. At the next regalar meeting, al
though this same ordinance was yet in
the hands of the committee and before
the council, bnt aa yet not disposed of,
s new iron clad ordiaaace, drawn up by
one of the shrewsst railroad attorneys in
the state ia introduced in which, instead
of opening said streets, the R R. com
pany asks with the aadacity that four
street, three sllsys ia three different
blocks aad several other pieces of prop
erty in the city of Columbaa be vacated
and given to them aad that in retnrn
therefor they wonld coadesesad at their
own pleaeare and option to open up P
street for ns. Neither waa there any
thing said in said ordiaaace about their
liability of paying damages to aaybody
on aooonnt of the closing of said streets,
but they very gracefally left that part of
it for the city to do aa ia their opinion
the city are the gainer to n great extent
in that deal. ThkremarkalM ordinance,
which ought to be preserved for the
benefit of futnre generations to ponder
over and ia a master piece of chicanery,
my fellow eitisens, came very near being
railroaded through that very night' Bnt
thanks to the keen comprehension of
onr efficient city attorney, Hon. Mr.
Hensley, and a couple of the members of
the city council, this scheme, premedi
tated aa it waa, waa knocked in the head
and said ordiaaace, of which every citi
zen of this town ought to have a copy
for future reference, aa I hare heard
since died aborning. Bnt aa I under
stand it, they are not going to let it go
at that, bnt the B. R. officials will make
their appearanoe here again before the
city council next Friday with the same
song snd danoe and demanding of the
city fathers all that was contained in
the previous ordinance and likely a good
deal more, ss yon know railroads have
no sonls snd generally grasp for every
thing within their reach regardless of
results to others. It is true that the
R. R company seems to be represented
on the council by some who are looking
rather favorably out for the interests of
the company more so than those of the
common people. But gentlemen of the
eonneil, let me give you warning right
here that it ia the common people who
have elected yon to yonr respective
offices it waa for the purpose of guard
ing their interests ss well ss those of the
city and not for the purpose of serving
as tools for a lot of schemers and corpo
rationa To convince and prove to yon that the
R. R. company has acted in bad faith
right along with the citizens of 'this
town, I will call your attention to the
following facts: When the shrewd legal
representatives of the U.P. csme here
first before the city council, they claimed
that M street wss their property by
virtue of a so-called deed given to them
by a former council and that they bad a
legal right and title to the same. They
further tried to intimidate the honora
ble council that if they shonld refuse to
vacate said M street they wonld claim
prospective damagea Fellow citizens
and gentlemen of the council, did you
ever in all yonr life hear of a similar
case where a party being refused the
privilege of permanently obstructing
your own property is trying to claim
prospective damages of 'yoa? It occars
to me that those honorable legal lights
must have had a very light opinion of
the intelligence of the people of this city
to think that they wonld swallow such
rot and be misled by them and their
henchmen. If the company has a legal
right, aa they pretend to have to M
street why didn't they at once go to
work and bnild their depot without
asking anybody's permission? They
knew perfectly well that they had no
right there. Why do they come before
the council with a brand new ordinance
trying to repeal or modify ordinance No.
55, when that very ordinance, aa they
claim is in full force snd effect and
granta them almost the same privileges
ss the new ordinance they want the
council to pass for them? Fellow citi
zens, let me tell you in all candor, this
is nothing more nor less than a straight
bunko game, played pretty finely by the
agents of a great corporation and ita
lieutenants, bnt it will not win. The
people of Colnmbns are onto their tricks
and they will rise en masse if this at
tempt to rob them of their rights is to
be carried out I have heard it said by
some of onr wiseacres in Colnmbns that
we had ought not to oppose the build
ing of sach a great enterprise in the
shape of a freight depot in our city; yon
all know that aa far as I sm concerned
I have never since I lived here opposed
or obstructed aay enterprise whatsoever
tending to benefit the city of Colnmbns
or its citizens aad even now I do not nor
does anybody else object to the building
of the proposed new freight depot bnt
we do most seriously object to having it
built on one of the most prominent
tboroaghfares of the very near future,
obstmctiag s street that will have a
tendency to nnite and cement the two
leading business districts of Colambna
Let them bnild their depot where it
belongs nway from the bnaJaoss center.
There ia plenty of room for it on the
east of L street or 6a the west of P
street, where nobody will be injured in
a bnsiness wsy, nor will there be the
danger to life and property ss great ss
it wonld be right in the basis oss center.
I nnderstand that next Friday even
iag there will be another meeting of the
council and at which the R. B. repre
sentatives will be here agaia with a new
and revised ordinance, bnt virtually of
the same substance ss the last discarded
ordiaaace. It will be well for all of the
citizens of Colnmbns who have the wel
fare of the city at heart to be present at
said meeting and most vigoronaly pro
test against the graatiag of sach ratea
ble franchise. The streets of Colnmbas

us have all the streets opened inclnding i
those temporarily closed.
It is the firm opinion of all property
owners aad well meaning citizens of
Colambna that a big freight depot lo
cated ia the midst of a bnsiness district
does something more than injure the
immediate surrounding property. In
fact it ia their honest conviction, that it
not only completely destroys a locality
for bnsiness purposes, bat it reduces the
valuation of said property as a source of
revenue for the city. The imaginary
benefits of a new freight depot on the
one hand and on the other hand, the de
preciation of values of real estate to all
the parties who have in good faith in
vested their all in that locality, the
further total ruination of Eleventh
street as a business center, snd the
financial loss to the city on account of n
depreciation of at least 60 per cent from
present vslaation on the taxable prop
erty on said street, most be counted as
a far more serious loss to all concerned,
aa several dozen freight depots put in
the balance.
All good citizens agree with the re
marks in the last Joubnal of this city
with reference to the outrageous de
mand made by the U. P. corporation, and
which shall be well heeded by onr city
fathers st their next deliberation of this
matter when it cornea before them:
"If the same attention bad been given
years ago, corporations wonld not now
be claiming title by time-limit occu
pancy, or by trades snd deals that ought
never have been made, and probably
never wonld have been made if the
light of publicity had shone npon the
proposed measnres. Every injury-working
act ia accomplished in darkness, snd
'Poor Old Columbus' purposes at this
stage to at least know what is going on,
and act accordingly.''
Before I close, let me remind our city,
fathers that they were elected by the
people of Columbua to work in the in
terest of sll the people and not in the
interest of the U. P. and a chosen few of
their frienda Yon owe a duty to all the
citizens of Columbus, snd all we ask of
you ia to perform this duty without fear
or favor and act according to the oath
you have taken to do so. I do not doubt
for an instant that you, one and all, are
honest snd upright at heart and mean to
do what is just and right and of ben
efit to all the citizens of Columbus, but
I am satisfied in my mind that you have
been misled and misinformed by parties
employed and interested in the affairs of
the U. P., men who have no conscience
and who don't care a straw whether it
works to the injury and ruin of a great
part of onr citizena There is greater
reason for yon to extend your support
and protection to the residents of "poor
old Columbus" rather than to a soulless
corporation which cares for nothing else
bnt their interesta On the one hand
your trust is honestly and faithfully per
formed and you will receive tho good
wishes of an outraged people, where on
the other hand the citizens will always
think that the confidence reposed in you
has been shamefully betrayed. A truo
and conscientious public servant will
never hesitate when his duty is so plain.
Mr. Gluck remarked that he had
written his speech, hoping that all the
council would be present.

If the Union Pacific company had the
ground they wish, they would not be
asking for more. They could have se
cured more by going east But instead
of using what they had got by way of
land for depot grounds, they use it for
coal-yards, lumber-yards, etc., devoting
it to their own interesta, and not to ours
at all. Reference had been made to the
situation of the streets at Omaha but
there was no comparison between the
two. The viaducts were perfectly sup
plemented, eo that there are really two
large thoroughfares instead of one. We
shonld open all the streets we can, and
not be controlled by the imagination of
aay railroad cappers, coming here to
assame to vote away our righta

He remarked that he was in an unen
viable position aa being the legal adviser
of the city council. Corporations have
their existence only as by legislative en
actment The Union Pacific company
has an old freight depot in one street; a
round house in another street; a coal
chate in another, and now want a new
freight depot in another street Some
