CONSIDERS GREAT WESTERN City Cotioil ia CenmitWa f Wl1 Eetn Cit:mtJ ?io!4it FARMERS - fEAR THE NEW LINE Orea villa Dds?e aad Other Ira the Coaaellmea' to Bafesaara the , laterests of . the CHy. The city council met yesterday afternoon a a committee of the whole to conclder the ordinance Introduced la the Intereat of the Great Western railroad. Tba rail road wa represented by hs local attorney. Colonel C. O. Saunders, and J. P. Green thleld ot the real estate firm of Green shields A Everest, It sgrnt In acquiring It right of way through the city. A large number of Interested property owner and business men were to attendance, several of whom addressed 'the cemmittes, nrglng that tbetr Intereat he protected and the railroad forced to sev.le all damage before being granted any favor by the city. The eommlttee adjourned to 4 o'clock this aft ernoon without taking any action. The general contention of tha property owners, especially those In the Third ward, whose holdings will be affected by the ad vent of the Great Western, wa that tha railway company should be required to pay them damage for the depreciation which their property will suffer by reason of the proximity of the railroad tracka. They also vigorously protested against the city vacating any portion of Ninth avenue or South Eighth street, and against permitting tho railroad to place it track fifty feet from the thoroughfare en Sotltb avenue. Oreavllle . Dodge . for tha City Grenvllle Dodge addressed tho commute and urged the aldermen to safeguard the Interests of the city t-efor passing any ordinance granting favor to the new rail road. He ald that no road had ever com Into Council Bluff which had asked so much a the Great Western did. No road, he said, passed through more valuable res Id once property in the city than the Great Western did and no road had mora grade crossing In th city limits than thla rail road ' proposed to have. He suggested that the railroad be limited to two tracka oa Woodbury avenue and . Tostevia street. South avenue, which' the Oreat Western proposed to parallel, he asserted, waa th moat traveled thoroughfare leading Into the city and within th corporate limit. He xpressed the opinion that tor the safety df farmer driving Into towa along South avenue the railroad should not be permitted to build It tracks within a less distance than 100 feet from the highway and not within fifty, as proposed. He hoped bat the city would Insist that th railroad maintain flagmen at fell the grade crossing fend he Incidentally mentioned that he con sidered It an outrag that no guards or gatea were provided at th Main street rail road crossings, a were provided by the Northwestern on Broadway. He suggested that the Great Western be required to park with shrubbery between the. highway on South avenue and ft track. . - 1 Ha referred to the llberalaplrit displayed by th Illinois Central In It dealing with property; owner on entering thi city, and aaw no reason why the Oreat Western could not follow Its example. II believed the Great Western was asking for too much and that before It be granted any favor It should be required to aettle with all those property owners, the vslue of whose hold ing would be depreciated by th proximity of It track. Fear Faranere May Be Drive Away. Oscar Brown, druggist' on Mala street. who waa chairman of the meeting held re cently by property owner of the. Third ward, followed Mr. Dodge. He asked that th city protect the right of th property owner affected by th entrance of th road Into the etty before passing any ordi nances. He was of th opinion that th proximity of the track to South, avenue would drive farmer to seek a market else where and that Main atreet merchant would lose much ot the trade which they bad heretofore enjoyed. Tha farmers, he said, wer considerably worked up over th matter and many of them had announced their Intention of marketing at Silver City, Instead ot Council Bluffs. Several other property "owner In the Third ward and business men on Main street mad remark much to th aama ef fect. Coloael Saaaders for the Read. Colonel C. G. Saunders, local attorney for th Great Western, said the Great Westera had paid tor every foot ot It right-of-way through th city and had probably paid 75 per cent higher price for the property than could be secured by tha owners oa th open market. He said th location of th freight depot and terminal building In thla city woud add materially to the imputation and there would be a demand for home by th employe of th road within th vicinity ot Ita track and depot. Council Bluff, he stated, would not lose anything by being liberal toward th new road, but Instead would be a direct gainer. Regarding the location of tha passenger depot be said his company bad hoped to buna it on the west side or Main atreet fend Ninth avenue, but had found It Impossible owing to th Burlington's spur track to the Implement district. Th depot would be erected on Nlath avenue, east of Main atreet. on the property now occupied by the Atlantlo house and Trinity Methodist church. Th entrance would fee on th avenue, with th. track south ot th depot and south ot th aveoue. A. protest signed by number of roperty owners oa Ninth avenue against th city vacating aay portion of that thoroughfare to th Great Western wa presented and filed. The ordinance granting th Groneweg A Bchocntgea company permission to erect an elevated sidewalk platform on th west Id ot It building on Ninth street wa re ferred to the city attorney , to Incorporate certain amendments. Tho committee will meet again this after noon at t o'clock to further consider the Grsat Westera ordtaanoes. Mrs. R. C. Hatcher Baca far Dlveree.

Onerovlslon ef th agreement wa that with 'tho payment of th rent each year a tenth ot the stock retained by the Grand Island company ahould be turned over te th Council Bluff company. Th Counoll Bluffa company ceased operating' th Grand Island plant several years before tho tsrm of th ten-year leas expired, having found the business un profitable. - Litigation followed, and th Grand Island company secured a verdict for several years' rent. An appeal to the court of appeals resulted In a still larger verdict for the Nebraska people. In his decision Judge McPherson held that th question Involved -In thla suit war all adjudicated In the former litigation and that the Counclt Bluffa Canning company was 1 table for the rent of th Grand Island plant for th full term of th ten year' leas. Ia tha other lutt the plaintiffs, Claudius W. Thomas and John S.

They sued for $10,426, th fac value of (IT shares. D. W. Archer, George Keel In and Samuel Haas war mad party defendant. It being claimed that they had guaranteed th performance of the contract oa th part of th Council Bluff compmy. In this ease Judge McPherson dejlded that th Council Bluff company being aa Iowa corporation bad no legal right to ac quire stock In th Grand Island corporation and ruled In favor of the defendant con cern.
