ADJOURNED COUNCIL MEETING

Shows Opposition to Change In Location of Proposed New Depot. At the special meeting of the city council Tuesday evening to consider the application of the Monon railroad to extend its side tracks across Marn street, connecting the two side tracks already in use, Couneilmen Grow and Catt voted against the measure, and it was passed to second reading. This action means that the proposition must take its regular course in the council, but it will be finally passed. As we understand the matter the south track will pass through the ground now occupied by the old depot, and connect with the long siding on the east, connecting on the west with the Babcock & Hopkins elevator switch. The move is pre* paratory to the removal of the depot location to the Brady elevator crossing, where a new depot is contemplated. It is but natural that interested property owners should oppose the change in location of the depot, but what the majority of our people want is a new depot, no matter where it is located.
