street, Texas street, and Myrtle and
Magoffin avenues likewise.
The union depot should not be built
on the outskirts of the city. VariO g
sites have been suggested for it: one at
the junction of the Santa eand South
ern Pacific, near the round house,
west of the city: one near the Sierra
Msdre freight house at Sixth aud Utah
streets; one where the Santa Fe depot
now is; one at the junction of the South
ern Pacific, Texas and Pacific, and
White Oaks roads, east of the city. All
these are open to the objection Of be-
ing too far from the center of town,
and a fine building there would not add
much to the architectural beauty or
important appearance of the city.
The other two sites that have been
suggested are: One, at some point
along the Southern Pacific railroad,
either the present station site, the
block west of Oregon street, or some
point further east: the other, the pres
ent site of the Texas g. Pacific depot
or some other point in that vicinity.
The last is by all n cans the most prom
Using site.
Anyone who viii take the trouble to
lsok at the ground near the present
Texas and Pacific depot, having a
union depot in mind, must at once be
convinced of It's greatly superior ad-
vantages over any other site that has
been proposed. It is close to the CEN
ter of the city. The views en- gets
upon entering the city by that line are
pleasing; the court house square,
which must be passed or traversed In
order 10 get to the business center.
makes q good impression, and yet the
depot itself would be far enough re-
moved from the main business and re-
sidence portion of the city to avoid any
that would be necessary to handle the
traffic would In nearly every case be so
located as to avoid almost entirely the
danger. Inconvenience, and annoyance
that are now SO great.
This question is one that concerns
the people so vitality that it is quite
possible the people, rather than the
railroads, will be compelled to take
the initiative. If the railroads will
not move in the matter, it may be
possible to organize a citizens termi
nal company, which shall build union
used jointly by the railroads entering
1t; this action to be followed by the en-
sctment of an ordinance to compel the
railroads to enter the union depot and
to abate their nuisances in other parts
of the city.
In connection with this plan q rigid
rule ought to be observed against
granting steam railroads any more
promiscuous franchises over public
streets. Not another yard of track
ought to be laid in the heart of the
city, and everything should tend TO-
ward gradually relieving the main part
of the city from the nuisance arising
from the incessant switching and shift
ing of freight trains, cars, and engines.
And some immediate action should
be taken towards lessening the danger
of grade crossings upon the Southern
the town from the annoyance and loss |
through delay caused by the unlawful
use Of these crossings by the railroads. |
The principal streets ought to be car
led over the tracks by viaducts, and |
Ill travelled street crossings should be |
by means of automatic gates |
