The meeting of the board of con-

members of the board could not all

to hold the meeting Tuesday.

zion will then be submitted to the
hoard Of control, and it will be decid-
cd whether or not their pay shall be
as tentatively drawn up by the station
master. All told, it is said that there
will be between rs and 100 employees
of the station. Some, if not all, of
these will be named at the meeting.
Among those to be employed are
policemen. 1t is not known how many
officers will be needed, but there will
probably be four. The force will be
paid by the Union Station Company,
but will be under the directions of the
trail Railway and Plant System force.
The Board of Control has decided
that the station shall be opened on
May Is. President w. w. Mackall
said yesterday that this date has been
fixed upon for the reason that sched-
ules are to be changed then, and this
will make the removal from the Plant
System and the Central Railway sta
tons, by the Plant System and the
Southern from the one and the Sea-
board Air Line from the other, much
easier than would be the case if the
removal were made at some other
time.
Mr.. Mackall was asked If there would
be a formal opening of the station pri-
or to beginning its use. He answered
that two or three days before May Is
the station will probably be thrown
open to the public. At night it will be
lighted up, and an opportunity will be
given all who may desire to see the
