union RniIrnnansna,

Mr.. Editor: Allow me a word or two upon
the present position Of this matter. A decision
has been made which will probably result in a
union passenger station east of Grafton street.
Unless some other course is adopted, viaduct
will be built over Front street, unsightIy, incon-
yenient and undesirable. | am not in the
secrets of the railroad corporations. but. if nm
derstand the subject, the officers are disposed in
good faith TO unite in the new station, abandon
the viaduct, and build track or tracks running
easterly of the jail and hospital buildings, if it
can be done at any reasonable expense.
Now Il question which wish to ask is this
Does the city government meet these corpora
tons in the spirit which is liberal and lust
When it appears that the corporations arc ready
to abandon the viaduct and build a track or
tracks over the route proposed, would it not be
well for the city government to consider whether
or not, in view of the great expense which will
be involved in the proposed arrangement, the
railroad companies are to be so thwarted in
their efforts as TO preclude the idea OF carrying
it out. Should we not realize that railroad cor
porations, although they frequently represent
large stockholders, also represent many persons
of small means, and that the burdens which are
imposed upon the corporations frequently reach
those who can i'll afford to bear them?
1t seems to me that if the railroads are dis
posed to go on the east side of the Jail and hos
pital buildings, the city government should APP
preciate the disposition and Instead of being too
rigid should be willing to allow the corporations
to carry out, without obstruction, what may be
the matured conviction of the engineers, or allow
them TO take such route as may be approved
by the railroad corporations; or do something
which will show that the policy of the city is not
to defeat or indefinitely postpone most desir-
able improvement.
In this connection, allow me to quote from
the inaugural address of the mayor in the year
1911: of the object of a union railroad depot
Is ever TO be consummated, this is emphatcally
the time. l hesitate not to pledge the city gov
eminent in advance to a liberal policy towards
the corporations which have done so much
for the city, and to express the hope
that there will be such a spirit manifested on the
part of the corporations, that the desired object
will be accomplished without clashing of feeling
or interest, and to the abundant satisfaction OF
all"
most earnestly hope that the great public
Improvement which is involved in the proposed
arrangement will be carried out, unless there are
objections which are insuperable, but can con-
ceive of nothing which would be so objection
able as the proposed viaduct. ga thing oil beau
ty is JOY forever" but the proposed viaduct, If
built, will be an eye-sore to the coming genera
tons. JUSTICE.

"Well, we will open it and see if there is any
thing in it," He opened the book and there was
something in it.
"Ten, ten, twenty, fifty; why here's ninety
dollars in cash; and, hallol check for thou
sand, and other papers. Some poor fellow has
lost this, and will be mighty glad to get it back.
He'll advertise it, ofcourse, Finder may keep the
money it he will return the check and other
papers; check not endorsed, and no use but
to the rightful owner Now l must leave town
this morning, and can't wait to find out the owner
Give me ten dollars take the book, and ge! the
reward"
Ny friend had not the money about him. He
was going to his cousins store, in Broadway,
near Twenty-sixth street. This cousin would
let him have as much money as he wanted.
Luckily" said the stranger, CHATS right on
my way. | leave by the next New Haven train
from Twenty street. Well walk up
town together, if you like. Ab here's place
where they keep good cigars. My case is empty.
Let us stop and replenish. Do you smoker"
My friend owned 10 indulgence in the little vice,
and a alfdozen of the incest brand were selected
by the stranger, one of which was courteously
profered to his new acquaintance. ''By the
way, they have here the best brandy in town.
have not had my morning yet; will you join
me?' with pleasure, only you must let me pay"
''Not at all. have an account here. Michael,
put these down to me-"
Thus fortified, the pair proceeded up town, the
stranger talking pleasantly all the way, and now
and then recurring to the pocket-hook, and re-
marking how glad the owner would be TO find
that it had fallen into honest hands At length
Twenty-sixth street was reached.
"Here's my cousins store" said my friend.
81 wish you good morning"
"But about the pocket-bool."
"You git" was the only response.
The fellow "got' forthwith; but he did not 90
