UNION FREIGHT DEPOT.
This Plan Suggested for Bay street
Railroad Question.

Railroad Question.
1t may be that some of the property
owners on Bay street. west of the city
Exchange, will appear before Council
tomorrow night and express them
selves on the petition of the Seaboard
Air Line, asking the privilege of lay
ing certain tracks on the street.
Despite this fact, member of the
board. who is unalterably opposed to
the plan, said that the petition will
rot be granted by Council.
Mayor Myers appears to favor the
scheme to allow the railroad to run
tracks and turnouts on the Strand, and
so expressed himself when the petition
was first filed. He believes this to be
the only solution of a serious problem
and agrees with the idea of Mr.. A.
B. Palmer. as expressed in an inter-
View published in the Morning News
yesterday. When the petition is read to
the Committee of the Whole the May
or Will state his position on the sub
ject, and will vote for the granting of
at least one of the privileges asked for
The railroad is prompted by purely
selfish motives in this matter" said a
Wholesale merchant yesterday. 1T
wants to help the public, or increase
the valuation of property. The rail-
road wants to see how much public
property it can confiscate. 1t wants to
use the street as switching yard, for
that is all that it can ever make out
of 1t. The laying of tracks on the
street will never make it anything
else.
If it really wants to accommodate
the public, as it claims, why doesn't
it establish a union freight depot at
the foot of Whitaker street, or some
other convenient point? Possibly the
old Savannah Grocery Company build
ing could be secured and would make
an ideal place. With such a depot
merchants on the Bay could deliver all
goods at very small cost. In this
manner the goods could be assorted
and loaded in cars on River street and
sent out over the different roads,

Der about LOO are those of colored
voters.
This number does not indicate the

DAMAGE TO RICE CROP.
viii Depend 10 a Great Extent Upon
the Coming Weather.

the Coming
Though the river fell about two feet
yesterday, the rice planters are still
unable to get to their fields that were
inundnatd Friday, and are, therefore,
unable to place an estimate upon their
loss by the freshet. In fact, as one
planter explained yesterday, the loss,
TO a great degree, will depend upon
what sort of weather is had for the
next several days. After the water has
got out of the fields, If the weather is
fair comparatively cool, and there is
a slight breeze, the wet rice may be
dried out with comparatively little loss;
but, should the weather be hot and
with a high percentage of humidity, 1t
will cause the dampened rice to crack
when milled, and a resultant loss to
the grower.
'Under any circumstances" continued
the speaker. 1.-The loss to the growers
has been very heavy, for though some
few managed to get all of their ripe
rice out of the fields, the MATURITY were
not so fortunate, and besides the loss
to the rice itself. they VIII be all under
the plantations, all ofwhich have been
damaged to some EXTENT and many of
which are very badly DANA ed."
In reply to the Question as to wheth-
er the loss OF the local planters would
have any enect upon the rice market,
the centenary replied that 1t would
not that the market is based upon the
product OF Yhe Louisiana fields, in
wnlcn the /crop is particularly good
this season. and that the market would
not vary a quarter of a cent, even

PLAN FOR BRIDGE ENTRANCE

READY To IMPROVE MAN.
HAITIAN TERMINAL. =

The commission OF engineers appointed ,nsS
spring under the McCarren law TO prepare a
plan for increasing the facilities at the Manhat-
tan terminal OF the Brooklyn Bridge has so far
advanced in it's work that IL begins TO see day-
light ahead After many attempts a plan Is
now complete, except for the minor details which
II Is believed will solve the difficulty and meet
the approval Of the authorities The commission
expects to make it's report within a few weeks
The plan provides for better facilities for pas
sensers to reach cars crossing the bridge and
will also permit of more cars making the pas
sage.
"Of course" said n G. Prout one OF the ex-
perts yesterday, no practical plan is going TO
make crossing the bridge in rush hours an ec-
static dream There will always be crowding in
a greater or less degree You must always rub
elbows with some one, and an occasional punch
in the ribs is TO be expected. But while we can
not give the bridge in rush hours the appear
ance Of a Mexican town in midday. there is no
reason why there should be Donnybrook Fair
nightly at the Manhattan terminal and this We
are going 10 do away with.
The plan We working on is practical II
will not cost an absurdly large sum TO carry it
out, and the changes can be made quickly and
without a great amount OF interference with
traffic One of the hardest problems we have
nad 70 contend with is the increased traffic that
is bound to follow increased facilities, but that,
too, think We have met"
One of the details yet to be discussed before
the report Of the commission is made is that OF
a subway connection between the rapid transit
tunnel and the bridge. Such connection. Mr..
Prout thinks. by relieving many Of the necessity
or crossing Park Row the surface and getting
mixed UP with streetcars, trucks. carriages and
pedlers, will be great help in doing away with
