we'll known citizen of st. Paul and has
met with the approval of large num-
Der of substantial residents and local
business men, looking to an effort to
induce the railway companies to select
a new depot site, say at Seventh and
KittSon streets, just west of the bridge
over the Northern Pacific, the Great
Northern and the Omaha tracks. 1t Is
said that a block of land can be Sc
cured there at reasonable cost and one
which, on account of it's central loca-
ton and it's topography, would be in
every way adapted to the uses intend
ed. The argument is presented that
Seventh street is already a retail street
and that in the nature of things it is
destined to continue such for long
time to come. It has a street car track
I'm both directions connecting in direct
line the east and west sections of the
city, and this could be made the basis
of transfer to any part of the town.
AS is we'll known to those acquainted
with the locality, the railroad tracks
pass through a natural ravine there
and a reference to the plan printed
herewith will show that the site of the
proposed depot is SO located that the
tracks for entering and departing trains
can be Admirably laid for convenience
in operating.
1t is proposed also that the depot
structure shall have its ground floor on
level with the surface of the street
ard that the tracks shall enter the
train shed from the present grade or
underneath.
1t viii be urged that a depot build
ing Of massive proportions shall be con-

the population to new homes up on the
hill the area, as a real estate and bust
ness locality, became neglected and
sluggish. At the same time it is claim
ed that it is admirably adapted to the
development of the retail business.
With Eighth street affording a clear
drive without interference of street
cars. the locality would become pop
ular for the best class Of shoppers.
One Of the promoters of the enter
prise said yesterday that with the
union depot located at this point, thou
sands of people. who enroute through
the city are now indisposed to climb
the Sibley street and Third street hills
and who can discover no convenience
in the way Of street car transportation
there, would incline to stroll from the
plaza along the street or take a car
for the enjoyment Of a ride, with the
result that many thousands of dollars
would be expended here every year.
1t is claimed that the unattractiveness
of the surroundings of the present
union depot gives the transient trav-
eler an erroneous idea of ST. Paul,
whereas, If he is delivered in well
cars passing the doors, he will be ia
the place, which must naturally result
from the development of industries in
that section, stimulated by the pres
ence of the depot into which the ar
rivals of travellers over ali the lines
will be constantly poured.
AS previously stated, this movement
possesses nothing in the nature of hos
tility to the roads. 1t is to be presum-

ed that the railway companies VIII nat
urally hesitate about abandoning the
Old site, but it is pointed out that the
removal Of the station could be made
Of advantage, not alone to the COM
panies by their utilization OF the ground
for strictly freight traffic. but with es-
recial reference and benefit to the
wholesale interests There would be
greater freedom, it is said, in the de-
livery Of freight to some of the i'm
pcrtant stores abutting on the railway
right of way. and generally improved
facilities in the handling of merchan-
disc would follow.
The proposed new site could, it Is
argued. be bought for sum of money
less, perhaps, than that which the
Union Depot company contemplate eX-
pending in repairs and extensions to
the old institution. The company was
organized in 1879, and the bounded in
debtedress was fixed at $3.50, 900. In 1894
this sum was increased to $500. 900. The
property is owned jointly by the sew
eral railroad companies who use the
conveinences, tracks and accommoda-
lions. 1t is claimed by the promoters
Of the new enterprise. that none of
them is interested. either in the real
estate directly involved in connection
with the proposed new site. or property
in the immediate locality.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-02-27

structed on the site The accompany
ing sketch presents a plan of elevation
which affords some idea of what the
advocates of the scheme have in mind
The dimensions as proposed are $50
by 900 feet, with a broad plaza on the
Seventh street end, for the. stocking Of
vehicles and for promenading.
The location Of the ground is fairly
high, and a building Of superb de-
sign and finish would be a command
ing architectural ornament, visible
from almost every point in the CITY,
and in some directions from long dis
tarceS away.
The plan of approach assumes Eighth
street to be a thorOughfare for We
hicles only and undisturbed by street
car traffic; and it is thought that
eventually this avenue eastward from
Robert street to the new depot may
come to be an attractive driveway.
From Seventh and Robert the ride to
the spot requires less than seven min
utes in the electric cars, while the walk
Is an easy one, with retail stores and
shops on either side. Naturally the
street car lines would in the course of
time so adjust their operations as to
supply ample transportation accommo-
dations and transfer to all parts Of
the city.
1t is urged by those VINO have sug-
ST sted this plan that the city, as a
whole. must be benefited by the loca-
ton OF the depot at this particular spot
The property, under existing condi-
ticnF, is practically useless. 1t has
row only a few Old sheds of no value
upon it. 1t is believed that the selec-
tiCn CT this site by the railway COM
paries would have a tendency to in
fuse new life into section of the city,
which at present seems paralyzed. 1t
