1t is decidedly unpleasant for ladies, |
who are obliged to go into the depot,
after night. and wait for late train, to
find a number OF tramps sleeping on the
floor and seats. The city has cooler
for their accommodation, and the author
ities should get man to see that it
serves its purpose. Or else, they might
have the cooler used for the accommo-
dation OF the travelling public, and leave
the tramps undisturbed.
