road company in leasing part of this
ground to private parties for private
use.
The railroad company, through its
general superintendent, Mr.. w. f.
Green, has made the proposition
that if the railroad company be per
mitted to lease part of this ground.
without interference upon the part of
the citizens of this city, to private par
ties, that the railroad company will
at once erect another brick depot ex-
tending along Third avenue from
State street to Alabama street, the
depot to be 200 feet long and 80 feet
wide, with platforms, this depot to
be used as freight depot for hand
ling inbound freight.
Recognizing as I do the need of
better and larger facilities for han
ding the constantly increasing move
ment Of freight to and from this city,
yet | do not feel justified in recon-
mending the acceptance Of this prop
|osition, coupled as it is with the conf
dition that the railroad company be
permitted to lease part of this ground
to private parties for private use.
1t is incumbent upon the railroad
company to furnish these additional
facilities for handling freight by rea-
son Of the original donation of these
grounds, and, besides the railroad
company. from the standpoint of econ
omy and good business policy, is i'm
PEELED to furnish additional freight
facilities.
Moreover. if the additional freight
depot is huilt every foot of the re-
manning ground will be needed by the
railroad company for cotton platforms,
side tracks and switches and passen-
ger depot.
|. therefore. recommend that the
beard of trade adhere to the resolu-
ton adopted by it some weeks ago,
dlsapproviE@ and condemnine the
leasing of any paat of this ground to
private parties. Respectfully submit
ted, W. n WESTRROOK
After some discussion II was do
