COlOHel l. 1NiShoioS hoA
manager Of the Carolina and North
Western railroad, has been In York.
VILE this week in attendance on court.
Upon being asked about the possibility
of the removal of the passenger depot
ito the old site at the foot Of Congress
street, he said that the matter had not
been seriously considered up to this
time. you gee it is like this" he ex-
planned. "As the matter now stands
it; ls impractieable to get up to our
platform over switch commencing at
the sidewalk. We could get In, OF
course; but we would strike the plat
form so far back as to make good
portion of it practically useless as to
convenience in loading and unloading.
Unless we are permitted to start the
switch on the opposite side Of the
street, we will have to leave one end
blind as now. But we have made no
threats with regard to this matter and
we do not intend to make any. 1t Is
not our policy to get cross-wise with
our customers II we can help 1t. Ac-
cording. to my view Of this matter, /
am under the impression that the coun-
ell does not fully understand our pur-
pose. II permitted to begin the switch
across the street. we intend to put the
crossing in the best possible condition.
We will have heavy planking on both
sides Of the rails, leaving a space only
large enough to admit the f1anges of
the wheels. There will be no obstruc-
ton in the way, and I am willing to
enter into a contract by which we. will
be bound to take that switch out and
fix it back just as it is now In case 1t
does not prove satisfactory. I want
to say also that in the event we are
not eventually permitted to put this
switch in as we want it, we will put
the crossing in first-class condition
just as it stands now. We do care,
however, to do the work over a sec
ond time II we can help 1t. So far as
removal to the old site is concerned,
that question will be governed by
the exigencies of circumstances. AL
though the present arrangement Is
very inconvenient, as q matter Of fact,
1t Is still possible for us to transact
our business here. But the business
Of Yorkville is growing-growing more
rapidly than the average citizen real
ICES, and within a few years more,
we are going to need much more yard
room than we now have. II there Is
no other way for it when that time
arrives, why of course we will have
to change the depot back to the old
stand.
