THE RICHMOND DIsPATCH--wED APRIL 2e. 1899
MAY GET TOGETHER.
COMPROMISE PROBABLE BETWEEN
COMMITTEE AND RAILROADS.
FRANCHISES MILL Be GRANTED.
liz the Railroad People Will Pledge
Themselves TO Erect n Handsome
Depot the Committeeman VIII Re-
commend Privileges.

There were no actual developments in
the railroad situation yesterday, but a
weli-defned rumor is current that a COM
promise will be reached ere long between
the representatives of the railroads and
the Committee on Streets. 1t has been
suggested that the probable solution OF
the whole matter will be that the fran
chises shall be granted. with a proviso
that the depot shall answer certain re-
quirements and shall not cost less than
$4,000 The representatives OF the two
railroads have made no effort to recover
the plans. no conferences were held yes
terday. and none have been arranged.
There will be a conference between the
Streets Committee and the City Engineer
in the office Of the latter to-day.
THEY WOULDN'T TALK.
Mr.. Axtell and Mr. Williams resolutely
declined TO discuss the question yester-
day, but other officials OF the Chesapeake
and Ohio said that they felt confident
that the depot would be built.
a gentleman who il I'm close touch with
the officials OF the Chesapeake and Ohio
road, said last night that Mr.. ingalls, Is
sued instructions when he was in Rich
mond that no great fight was to be made
for the franchise. IF Richmond does not
want the Improvements" he is reported
TO have said, lit will make little difference
10 the Chesapeake and Ohio"
DIMENSIONS OF DEPOT.
Mr.. Axtell and Mr. Williams were both
called upon during the course OF Mon
days meeting TO state the dimensions OF
the proposed depot, and both replied that
IL was impossible to DO so until all the
property needed was acquired. Later in
the same evening the officials announced
that the depot would have frontage Of
100 feet and an elevation of 90 feet, and
If these dimensions are adhered to the
end of the controversy is not far Off
Colonel Cutshaw is hard at work upon
the plans and will soon be ready to
make a report.

LABORING MEN WANT DEPOT.
They Express the Hope That the
Franchise VIII BE Granted.

At the meeting OF the Trades and Labor
Council, at Central Hall. last night, the
| deadlock between the city and Council
regarding the construction OF the union
depot was Informally discussed at length.
No definite action was taken. 1t was
the wish Of many that the matter be
closed as quickly az possible. A resolution
| urging the City Council to act promptly
was favored by a number of those pres
ent.
1--WE wish the Council to act promptly"
said one Of the prominent leaders of the
council after the meeting. THE con-
struction of the improvements probe <-d
means great deal for the laborlng men
of Richmond. Many Of these are unem-
ployed.
There is also a strong sentiment" he
continued, lin favor Of having the Council
exact as little as possible from the rail-
roads. or course, everybody wants as
good a building as possible. But almost
any kind will be better than the one we
have. It's case of half loaf being
better than no loaf"
y WELL-ATTENDED MEETING.
The meeting Of the council last night
was well attended. The Tobacco Workers
organization had a full delega ton pres
ent. something which has not occurred in
a long time.

tobacco workers In the city will eventually
join. The recognized union already has
a large membership.
