corner opposite the 500 passenger sta
ton. The property is IS by $50 feet.
The company will erect three-story
building on the ground, to be occupied
by its wholesale grocery offices and
stock. 1t is now occupying rented prop
erty, which is altogether inadequate for
the growing business of the company,
and stock has had to be stored in differ

be erected will be similar to the one in
this city, except that it will be only
three stories high. 1t will have track
age at the rear, and can be approached
by two railroads.
