I'art of Three directs Vacated for
.Northwestern RallroHd.
After going over the ground during the
afternoon as a committee of the whole, the
city council last night under suspension of
the rules, passed an ordinance vacating
portions of streets and avenues in the
northern part of the city In favor of the
Chicago Northwestern railroad com
pany, which, it Is announced, plans ex
pending about $300,000 in the improvement
and enlargement of Its terminals in Council
Bluffs.
The streets and avenues vacated Include
a part of Avenue F, between Eleventh
and Twelfth streets, a strip on the west
side of Eleventh street west of Avenue O
and that portion of Eighth street north of
the brick yards. In exchange for North
Eighth street, the railroad deeds the city
sufficient ground for a roadway east of the
present thoroughfore. The alley in the
block between Avenues F and G and Elev
enth and Twelfth streets is also vacated.
The railroad agreed to maintain the new
portion of North Eighth street for one
year and to maintain permanently a fence
on the west side between the roadway and
its tracks.
The council, also by resolution, granted
the Northwestern railroad the right to lay
two or more tracks across Avenue G and
Twelfth street, across the same avenue be
tween Eleventh and Twelfth streets, across
Avenue E. and across and along North
Eleventh street.
The company was also given permission
by resolution to construct and maintain a
temporary track on North Eighth street
during the necessary excavation for the
eroding of tbe new yards and construction
of new roadway to take the place of that
portion of North Eighth street to be va
cated. The railroad company asked for the vaca
tion of Avenue U, but abutting and ad
Joining property owners objected and the
council declined to grant the request.
The improvements contemplated, work on
which, it was stated last night, would be
commenced at once, are to consist of a
twenty-four stall roundhouse, the capacity
of which can be increased to accommodate
fifty locomotives, a machine shop, a black
smith shop, a store house, a modern coal
shed, car repair yards with a capacity of
150 to 200 cars, coach yards with a capacity
of 100 coaches and a general yard with a
capacity of approximately 1,000 cars.
According to the statement of an offtclall
of the Northwestern railroad to Mayor
Maloney yesterday, the extension of the
road's facilities In Council Bluffs means
that the company expects to concentrate
here the mechanical work of its Black
Hills line, of Its main line between Coun
cil Bluffs and Boone and Its Sioux City
line, making Council Bluffs one of the
most Important points on Its western sys
tern for this branch of work.
Before the trip over the ground yester
day afternoon, the members of the 5ity
council were entertained at dinner at the
Grand hotel by T. S. Roberts, right-of-way
agent for the railroad company, with head
quarters In Chicago. Besides Mayor Ma

ady, City Solicitor Kimball, C. M. Harl

and make a hero of himself. Mrs. Helgul

Auditor Hieakley at this inopportune Junc

got his hands kissed. He promptly re
covered his composure and lead the woman
to his private office, where he ascertained
that she claimed to have some trouble with
her husband and didn't propose to take any
action till she learned what the government
of Iowa wanted her to do. It Is feared her

then Mr. Johnson, the Janitor of the audi

porations that they must pay their taxes
and make annual reports to the secretary';
office. For many years there has been
on the statute books a law requiring cor

compel them to make reports, and no
provision for an appropriation to notify

Governor B. V. Carroll, who haa been
sick at his home In this city for some
days, Is Improving and will be able to
be at his office soon. A change of drink
ing water when he went to Fort Dodge
recently at a time when he was already
feeling none too well was the cause of
the trouble, which resulted In temporary
Indisposition. It prevented his attending
the commencement exercises at Iowa City,
however. ,
Baya Rallrond Not Fair.
J. F. Sparks of Walker, Iowa, in Linn
county has made complaint to the state
railroad commission that the railroad
there will not furnish him ground on which
to unload tile. He has shipped In twelve
cars since January 1, this year, and while
he claims the road is sonvtlmes fifteen
to twenty days late In bringing the tile
from Mason City to Walker yet they Insist
on his unloading the tile at once under
threat of charging him demurrage and
will not allow him to unload It on the rail
road land. It was such complaints as this
that started the demand for reciprocal de
murrage. Harlan to St. I, oils.
