MAP SHOWING THE CITY l.ttter nifK-lo-ra How Knftlty the I.lnrs RntrrlnK Clly Coulil Join Forces nnil Hutp Terminal In Nnnin I'lnre. In compliance with tho request ot the railroad officials, made at the Chicago conference of the officials with Council Bluffs representative in connection with the movement to secure a new passenger station, a communication and plat ot the City was yesterday forwarded to the gon eral managers of nil the roads having terminals In tho city. When tljo confer ence ended with tho promlso ot a doflnlte answer by Juno 1, the railway officials asked for tho Information sent out last evening. . The presentation of the union depot matter to the officials brought out a lot of Information thnt was new to them. It was the first Mime they had ever studied a railroad plat, ot tho city. All were, ot course, familiar with the plats showing their own lines, but had only a general Idea ot the location ot the other roads. Tho location of all the tracks waa shown on the largo map of the city made by Engineer U. .Mayne and used at tho conference and the request was for copies ot this map, together with other facts to bo embodied In a communication. Tho chort shows how easily and Inex pensively all' of the roads dan reach the probablo Kite ot the union station on Ninth avenue between Eighth and Eleventh streets. Latter In Detail. The communication 'was signed b,y the city officials and officers of the Com. merclal club and follows: To the Chicago, Rock Island & Pnclflo Railway company, tho Chicago, Burling ton & Qti ncy Railway company, the Chi cago.

The city of Council Bluffs and the Com mercial club of the city of Council Bluffs, jleslro to call your attention to the fol lowing conditions! The several lines of railway above men tioned enter the city of Council Bluffs from various points and directions; there aro passing through . the city each da approximately 10 passenger trains, with all of the passenger traffic which that represents. That the city is an unusual Oho for the converging and meeting of great trunk linos of railway crossing the United States. That each of said lines maintains a sepnrate passenger station of its own with the exception .of the Wabash. That tho several linns havo no common point of meeting or union sta tion at which all meet or Into which all run. That tho soveral stations are lo cated In different parts of the city at widely distant points, tho distances be tween depots ranging from ono block to one nnd a half mllea. That with the numerous linos of railway converging at Council Bluffs Is Is necessarily a point where a large number of passengers transfer from one railway to another for .vl? JrpoHo of reaching different points. That the fact that there Is no union debot or common place of meeting for the trains l a matter of great Intonvenlenco to the traveling public, which cannot be ade quately expressed or described In words. That tho fact that there Is no union depot at Council Bluffs is a condition not gen erally known to persons traveling from distant points, and they are thus pre vented from making ndoquato arrange ments moro convenient for the transfer of themselves and their baggage from one station to another Timt mnnv in stances occur where passengers arriving iui inim at iiignt arier street car service has stopped are put to the neces sity of finding temporary shelter around depots not designed for that purpose, or making their way through a stormy night to hotels or other distant parts of tho city.
