AN UNSATISFACTORY RESPONSE
Mr.. NJ. B. Harlow, president of the
Business Mems League of this city, has
received the following from Mr.. S. M.
Provost, general manager of the Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad:
OFFICE OF GEN'L MGR P, w. g. RI
PHILADELPHIA, April %, 1896.
Mt Ms % Hdrto,c, President Of Business Mems
League, Alexandria, Va:
Dear Sir Referring to your favor of the
18th instant, addressed to Mr.. G.. b. Roberts.
In regari to building new passenger station
at Alexandria, this question has been brought
up frequently, but regret TO say that We are
not prepared at the present moment to advise
you as 10 what we can do in the way of meet
ing your wishes l am in hopes, however,
that We will be able in the near future to
give you some information upon this sub.
ject. Your truly,
s. M. PROVOST, General Manager.
1t will be remembered that sometime
during the past winter Mr.. Barnard,
superintendenG Of the railroad, came
here and had an interview with COM
mittee of the Business Mems League in
regard to building new depot in this
city. During the interview he prom
lsed to communicate something definite
in regard to the proposed depot in
about two weeks time, and from the
tenor of his remarks there were reasons
to hope the depot would be built. The
above, however, seems to place the
matter as far off as ever.
