The committee appointed to appraise
the land for the right of way is here
today and will com plete it's work this

canal passing through their lands, but
the canal company goes right along
and pays no attention to them.
The weather Is remarkably fine this

UNION STATION.
pdso And Many Other South
orn Cities

Special Correspondence of the HERALD.
ATLANTA, Feb. 6.-Like many other
cities of the south, Atlanta Is and has
been for many years past struggling
with the problem of a union passenger
station. The present structure, To-
Gated right in the heart of the city, is
the most lamentable apology for sta
tion in North America, relic of the
war time. Yet within its cave-like in
terror are found daily some of the
fnest and most sumptuouely equipped
trains in the country.
ALI sorts of efforts have been made
to construct a new station, but the
failure of the many different roads en-
tering the city to reach an agreement
in regard to the site. the cost OF con-
struction, and the control of the struc-
ture, has prevented the erection of a
much needed station.
The state has attempted to solve the
problem, but in vain. And yet the
city suffers greatly-in name, prestige,
and in many other ways, for the lack
of a proper station.
Despite the progress of railway de-
velopme nt in the south, the erection OF
stations has not kept pace with the
times, or the demands of the travelling
public, and but few cities of the south
can boast of fairly respectable sta
ton. Jacksonville, Florida, has sta
ton which is the master architectural
freak of the age. Birmingham, Ala
bama, has q fine union passenger. sta
ton, and there is fairly good one at
Savannah. Save for these there is not
suitable railway station in the south
east of the Mississippi.
In respect to stations, Texas is far
ahead of other states of the south.
Galveston has one of the best stations
in the country. The remodeled sta
ton at Houston is q very good one.
Dallas has a fine. though not large.
union station. Fort Worth has just
opened up a most elegant station.
Shreveport has q fine union station.
But beyond those named the south is
sadly behind the position of cities of
similar size in the north.
