For an Atlanta Building.
The aldermanic board of Atlanta to-
day approved the appropriation by the
City Council of $4,000, for an Atlanta
building at the st. Louis Exposition
The approval was not given, however
until after considerable adverse criti-

but a scheme to advertise the rail
roads. The Atlanta building, as has
been stated, is to be a model of the
new union passenger station.
