AURORA, ILL. 



The big C, B. & Q. greenhouses on 

 North Lincoln avenue near the coal 

 chutes are to be torn down. The work 

 will be done during the winter months, 

 when the building department has little 

 to do. 



The destruction of the greenhouses 

 will mean a loss of thousands of dollars 

 to the Burlington. The houses were 

 erected a few years ago at the cost of 

 $12,000. The plan was to grow flowers 

 for dining cars and plants for bedding 

 about the stations, but the location 

 proved to be unsatisfactory, owing to 

 the smoke and dust from the shops, and 

 the houses have ben unused since the 

 death of the old gardener, Anthony War- 

 imont, which occurred last spring.
