and cannot be for several weeks. The
goods store is rooted, and is fine build

with corrugated iron roof, is also in

with Offices attached, is building. This
promises to be a very good structure.
There are no fewer than seven lines OF
rails laid on to tile different parts of
Killala station, which is designed and
constructed for large passenger and
goods traffic. Everything is of SUBJ

may be the case as regards the Autumn
traffic.
