UNION DEPOT TALK STARTS Coming of the Illinois Central and Great Western SnggeiU the Toplo , CITY COUNCIL WILL BE ASKED TO LEAD Advocate ! of the Finn Want Some Anthorltutlve Head ArKtiniviiU Agalnit the VnllliiK of All Iloada at One Terminal Station. The coming of the Illinois Central and Great Western railroads Into Council Bluffs has revived the agitation for a graud union depot In the city and Mayor Jennings and the city council are expected to take the Initiative In the near future in the forma- ' tlou of a committee to take trio matter up with the railroad * . Those who urge that Council 11 luff a should have one big central union depot assert that not only would it bo a great convenience for the raveling public In general , but that It would also be a money saver for the rall- oads as the expense of maintaining one arge union depot would be less than each oad having Its own local depot. It Is sug- ested that the Union Pacific transfer would nake an admirable union depot , having , as t has , a large hotel , or If this was consld- red by the other roads too far from the enter of town , a more central location near Iroadway . could bo secured. Opponents of the plan point to the faot bat a number of men employed at the sev eral local depots would be thrown out of employment ; that with ono union depot It would be possible for people to go through Council Bluffs , change cars and never see he town , while with several depots the ravelins public occasionally gets a chance o spend some hours in the ally and to rlslt points of Interest , always carrying away a good Impression. The Illinois Central 1 * said to be plan ning to erect a local depot In the vicinity of Broadway and Thirteenth street which s to cost $40,000 , and the Rock Island rail way has made public the announcement hat it Intends to replace its frame depot on South Main street next spring with a 130,000 brick structure. The Omaha Bridge and Terminal railway U figuring on a depot at Ninth street and Union avenu and the Great Western will when It builds in here also need a local depot. The Omaha A St. Louis road has no local passenger depot , and will probably use the one to be erected jy the Terminal company if it decides to enter Omaha over the latter company's iridge.

The city council held a short special ses sion last -night for the purpose of taking somtt action in regard to the bids for the aspholtum paving of Fourth street and Fifth avenue.

The council on adjourning convened as a committee of the whole to take up the con sideration of the Hublnger company fran chises. Alderman Mctcalf suggested that a committee of three be appointed to confer with Mr. Craig , the company's representa tive , and draft ordinances and then report back to the committee of the whole. This was satisfactory to Mr. Craig and after the mayor and city attorney had been added to the committee the motion was passed. Mayor Jennings appointed Aldermen Mct calf , Shubert and Chrlstensen as the com mittee. The committee then took up a number of old matters that had been pending for months past and disposed of them. The recommendations of Chief of Police Blxby as to alterations and Improvements at the city jail wore referred to the committee on police and health with . suggestion that the : ommtttee make a report next March eo that the cost of Improving the jail could be In cluded in the annual appropriation.

AS the mayor had to attend the meeting of the city council ho called Attor ney James McCabe to preside. There was gome opposition to Chief Blxby'e scheme on the grounds that it might possibly lead tea a conflict of authority between the city and county authorities , especially as Rev. M. C. Waddcll suggested the city administration being democratic and the county adminis tration republican. Others who spoke on the subject seemed to think there need be no friction and It was finally decided to en dorse Chief Blxby's plan for a charity board with the police station as headquarters and to ask the city council to pass the ordinance framed by Blxby providing for the creation of this board.

The class offered to bear all the expense of the speaker and as evidence of good faith en closed a certificate of deposit for $66 with the petition. After considerable discussion , during whloh several members of the board expressed themselves as very much pre ferring the old system of orations by the graduates to any speaker that could be brought from abroad , It was decided to lay * Che petition over until the next meeting.
