RICHMOND, IND.

Meat Inspection Richmond is now in a fair way to hare proper inspection of air meat prepared and slaughtered in Richmond for local consumption. A motion introduced by Councilman Deuker at the last meeting of council Monday, to. refer the whole matter to the committee on public health, public morals and the city attorney having been unanimously adopted, council will soon have in its hands plenty of data from which to frame an ordinance that should successfully cope with the situation. Councilman Leftwick in calling attention to the fact that any ordinance that the committee should frame up might be ineffective on account of a great deal of meat being Imported Into Richmond from a slaughtering house at Greensfork has raised a very important point, but one which we feel can be satisfactorily settled. , . We have it on very good authority that if the butchers of Richmond would all agree to do their butohcring in one locality, such as down on Liberty avenue though not necessarily at the Abattoir company, the government might be willing to provide inspection, as ha3 been done in other cities. Now in case the butchers would agree to do this the matter of Greensfork meat could be settled very easily. With all the local men doing their own slaughtering under government inspection the city ' could pas3 an ordinance requiring all meat sold over the counter of a Richmond butcher shop to bear the mark of government inspection. This would effectually prevent all imported meat being sold In Richmond unless it had been Inspected by the government. Thi3 solution of the difficulty of inspecting all meat sold in Richmond seems to us all right, and It ought to work out satisfactorily providing the butchers can agree on a central location for doing all butchering under government inspection. And of their willingness to arrive at an amicable, understanding with regard to this we have no doubt, as it is very much to their own best interests to sell meat that bears the mark of government inspection.

WILL STRAIGHTEN CURVES

MANY IMPROVEMENTS PLANNED FOR THE C. C. & L. President Bradford and Henry Starr Succeed in Raising Needed Funds in New York. C. That the C. C. & L. railroad is laying great plans for the future is evidenced by the fact that already the many officials have taken on the busy look, and orders for the improvement of the road from Cincinnati to Chicago have been received all along the line. The road will be ballasted thoroughly during the spring months and many of the crooks and turns in the present line will be straightened. When the road was first built the officials met with opposition on the part of many farmers, and to avoid trouble the road was turned in many places. The natural topography of the laud between Cincinnati and Chicago entered largely into the building of the present crooked line. By excellent services of President Bradford and his present corps of officials the opposition on the part of many farmers to the road has been overcome and deals for rights of way for short cuts, have been made between the officials and the farmers and many of the long curves will be done away with. In some instances some or tne smaller country towns will be deprived of service, all of which tends toward the theory that the C. C. & L. is going after the through business between Cincinnati and Chicago, lbe heavy mall con tracts which have been the source of much revenue to the other railroads holding them from time to time, also looks good to the C. C. & L. directors and may have influenced their decision more than any other feature. President Bradford and his right hand man, Harry C. Starr of this city returned last week from New York to Milwaukee where they negotiated for a loan that the Improvements on the road might be realized. MAY MOVE CAR BARNS HERE. Said That the I. & E. Will Erect Fine Structure on West Fifth St. Since the establishment of the new limited service between Indianapolis and Dayton over the Indianapolis and Eastern and the ndiana, Columbus and Eastern, the rumor to the effect that the Greenfield car barns would be removed" to this city, has been revived. According to the rumor, a handsome new building will be erect ed on West Fifth street. It is said that the syndicate controling.the two interurban lines has a plan under way whereby the general offices for the lines between Indianapolis and Dayton will be removed to this city. The present offices are located at Greenfield and it has been established, that the handling of the business of the Indiana. Columbus and Eastern and the Indianapolis and Eastern from that point is unsatisfactory. When asked as to the matter yesterday one of the local traction men said that he knew nothing definite in regard to the matter but such might be the case and especially so if the proposed union of all the Ohio and Indiana lines went into effect. RUMOR OF NEW STATIONS. Union Passenger and Freight Depots May be Built. The work on the Indianapolis, New t Castle and Toledo line, promoted by Charles L. Ilernley is progressing at a rapid rate. "With the announce ment of the rapid work on the surveys and other construction, comes the news, that just as soon as the Richmond branch of the road is completed, a new union traction building will be erected in this city in addition Lto a new freight depot. It is said that the traction officials have their eyes upon two sites for both the passenger and freight stations. The site on Seventh street formerly owned by the traction lines will be bought again and an elegant station and office building erected. The officials also have their eyes on the site at the corner of North Tenth and E streets for a freight location. According to the statement of a local traction man yesterday it will be almost impossible for the traction lines to establish a freight station in any other portion than the north part of town, in that no appeal can be made to the wholesale merchants the city by establishing a station the uptown district. of in JOIN RELIEF ASSOCIATION. Twelve Traction Employes Become Members of new Organization. A number of traction officials of the Indiana interurban lines, were in this city last night to interest local interurban employes in the Northwestern Mutual Relief association, an organization composed of four hundred Indiana traction men. Twelve Richmond men joined the association. The object of the organization is to protect the employes of the traction lines, by issuing sickness and accident insurance of certain amount for stipulated monthly dues. The association . is patterned after the Pennsylvania railroad relief fund. The traction association was formed in Lebanon, Ind.. three years ago, among the employes of the Indianapolis and Northwestern traction line, and has grown since to enviable proportions. The association now" has 1,200 in the reserve fund. Those traction officials hero to interest the local employes in the association were C. C. Reynolds, general manager of the Indianapolis and East ern; G. K. Jefferies, superintendent of J

the Indianapolis and Eastern; F. D. Nova, general passenger and freight agent for all merger lines running out of Indianapolis; F. M. Hickson, auditor of the merger lines; W. P. Bailej', assistant auditor; Chas. Demeree, train dispatcher for the Indianapolis and Eastern and Will Siebert, train dispatcher for the Indianapolis and Martinsville traction line.

A FIGHT WITH PITTSBURG. Panhandle Objects to Paying the In- . creased Assessment There. The Pennsylvania railroad company is in a statt of revolt against the city of Pittsburg, the home of the general offices, and one of the biggest legal fights in the history of railroads and cities is promised. The city assessed the railroad's right of way in Pittsburg at $7,000,000, making a total advance of just $13,000,000 on the value of all the Pennsylvania railroad prop erty in the city of Pittsburg, recently assessed. The railroad company says it will pay $6,000,000 of the Increased assessment, but has served notice upon the city that it will not pay the remainder, and has requested the city as sessors to make separate assessment sneets, tor tne remainder or tne $13,000,000. in order that the railroad may carry the matter to court. ROAD TO BE BALLASTED. Guy Scott, engineer of the mainte nance of way of the Richmond division of the Pennsylvania, and "Tim" McNa mara, road supervisor, are at the present time arranging for the work of ballasting the roadway of the division, just so soon as the warm weather opens. All the machinery used in the work is being thoroughly overhauled, and the work will start with a vengeance within a few weeks. During the winter months no work could be done on the roadbed and it is said that in several places along the line it is sadly in need of repairs. CONSOLIDATION IS LIKELY. Rumor has it in local railroad circles that it will only be a question of time until the C, C. & L. and the Wisconsin Central railroads, will consolidate and run through service from Cincinnati to northern Wisconsin points. A railroad man of Richmond yesterday said that he supposed this step would be taken, as he knew that President Bradford was in favor of the union of the two roads. WILL USE SCREW SPIKES. The Pennsylvania officials in Pittsburg have sent an announcement to the section formen of the Richmond and Indianapolis divisions, that the company will "soon begin using screw railroad spikes instead of the old fashioned nails, in that the new screw spikes aid greatly in the preservation of wooden ties and at the same t'me hold the rail in more secure position than the old ones. They are esnecially useful when trains are running at high rate of speed around curves as they do not pull loose with the ease of the common spikes used 'at the present time. RAILROAD NOTES. The report recently filed by the In-! diana Union Traction company, show- ! ed that the gross earnings of the ! road and its subsidiaries for the yeari of 1906, was $1,943,101,. an increase of $420,872 over those of the previous' year, while the net earnings are i shown to be $947,833, a gain of $23,196. Guy Scott, engineer of maintenance . of way of the Richmond division, has returned to this city after a short business trip to Chicago. , The fight for the carrying of the United States mails from points west 1 of Chicago, between the Rock Island and Burjington route, has been settled in that the government awarded the contract to the Burlington.Yesterday was homeseekers excursion day on the Pennsylvania, and half fare rates were offered to those persons who wished to go to the southwestern states. Ten people left Wayne county yesterday for points in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas. The majority of them journeyed toward Texas, however, as there seems to be some loadstone in that state attracting northern homeseekers. The homeseekers excursions are run on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. Harry C. Starr, vice president of the C C. & L. railroad, with headquarters in Milwaukee, is expected in this city Sunday to visit his family. The railroad department of the Y. M. C. A., gained thirty-three new associations during the last year, 10.2S6 new members and 32 buildings, valued at $742,400. Four of these structures were on the Pennsylvania lines west, being built at the aggregate cost of $160,000. The popularity of the new interline interurban tickets being sold at the lo cal station Is evinced by the large de mand ior mem. .travelers can secure round trip or one way tickets to any point located on interurban lines in Ohio or Indiana. It is said that the Central passenger association, of which the Pennsylvania railroad is a member, will soon lower all passenger rates in the territory under its jurisdiction, to two cents a mile whether the several state legislatures take action upon the matter or not. It is thought in local railroad circles that it will be only the course of time until all the states in the middle west will have two cent laws. Mark Eagan, chief telegraph lineman for the Richmond division has returned to this city after spending a few days with his wife, who is ill in a hospital in Cincinnati. Geo. R. McCarren, traveling freight agent of the Nashville. Chattanooga and St Louis railroad, with headquarters in Louisville, Ky., was in the city yesterday, conferring with local Pennsylvania freight officials. W. C Shannon, traveling freight agent for the Merchants' and 3Iiners"i
