RELIEF MAY BE NOW NEAR
STEVENS COMES
TO INVESTIGATE SITUATION.

He Has Been Appointed TO Inquire IN
to Dawson's Request for New Depot.
Favorable Outcome Expected.
A letter from Secretary G.. S. Mont
gomery of the state railroad commits
sion, stating that Commissioner 0. B.
Stevens had been appointed COM
mittee of one to visit Dawson and look
into the proposition for a union pas
senger station, was received Saturday
by Chairman w. H. Davis of the
board of trade. 1t was stated that
Mr.. Stevens would make this visit in
a few day, and that gentleman APP
peared in Dawson Monday morning,
somewhat. earlier than he was ex-
pected.
The news of the commission S
action in delegating Mr.. Stevens to
review the Dawson depot situation was
greeted with genuine pleasure and
hopeful anticipations. 1t is con-
hdently expected that careful inves-
tigation, such as Mr.. Stevens has
made, of the existing conditions will
result in report from him to the
commission endorsing the towns
petition for adequate passenger depot
facilities, and it is presumed that the
commission will be largely governed
by Mr.. Stevens opinion in the matter.
The action of the railroad commits
sion in naming Mr.. Stevens to make
this investigation came as the result
of a petition signed by many repre-
sentative citizens of Dawson request
ing that the Central and Seaboard
railways be required to furnish more
ample and adequate passenger sta
tions at this point and suggesting a
union depot as the logical and needed
structure to meet this demand.
MIR. Stevens returned to Atlanta
last night.
