was received from headquarters, sus-
pending work, with the intimation that
the depot would not De built. The cor
respondent supposes this to mean that
the depot will not be built at that
point; for it is to be taken for granted
that if the railroad company did not
need a depot, it would not AVE given
out the contract. 1t is absurd to do

subject to it's jurisdiction. He also
recognizes the gravity of the jurisdic-
