/ Nv C''l'lulN dlSO lfuN II tblll-
muDication to G. b Metcalr from
Nice-President and General man
ager w. g. Nixon of the Santa Re.
1t stated that the San Angelo
depot would be temporarily re-
paired tor this years use and that
it was the company's purpose to
build such depot ms will meet
with the approval and expecta-
tions of the citizens Of San
Angelo. They propose to make
this change the early part of next
year. This news was very graf
flying to the business men. 1t was
moved and seconded that Mr..
Nixon s letter be filed and that
the order for II committee to be
sent to Galveston by the Club
asking for n new depot in n
former meeting held, be counter
manded.
The present depots warehouse
is entirely too small for handling
the freight and this matter was
brought before the Club. Mr.
Fihdlater suggested that it might
be good plan for the authorities
of the Santa FEE to put on extra
night men 80 that they could
have the expense bills for freight
that came in on the night trains
ready by morning and the trans
fer men could unload the cars
early nex' day. This, it seems,
: would add considerably to the
present arrangements. Mr.. Dob.
bin then addressed the Club re.
garding this plan and said that he
: thought it II good idea and ad.
, vlsed the Club to take the mat
ter up.
DR.. j. T. Watt and Mr.. Pneglel
addressed the Club regarding Q
location for n sanitarium neal
this city for the treatment OF
tuberculosis. Mr.. Phegler repre-
: sents very strong company anC
they offer to build $4,000
building with all the modern con
. veniencee, including an up-to
: date surgical department. for tn,
donation of the site. 1t woulc
require about fifty acies for Thu
+ building and they wanted tn,
l location to be out of the city ia
enough 80 as not to interfere will
the health of the city. A lsrg
number Of patients could b.
treated at II very reasonable cost
y Cows and chickens would be KEEP
q to furnish the patients with fresl
milk, butter and eggs. Such al
i, institution would greatly beneti
= this city.
1t was moved and seconded t.
