New Freight Facilities

Owing to an unavoidable delay, the
agreement made by the Southern Rail-
way officials With The Jobbers and Ship
pers' Association of Washington that
after Octo' er l all freight shipped from
that city would be billed through to the
points for which ii was intended instead
of being rebiIled at Alexandra, will not
20 into effect until October 10. The
reason given by the officials Of the road
for this delay is that the company can.
not occupy the Potomac yards until
that time. Immediately after the occu-
patton of the yards, say the officials,
Che agreement for the through-billing
of the Washington freight shipments will
go into effect.
Ia this connection it may be stated
that it is said to be the intention OF the
sshiugton-Sou Railway Company
to build a mammoth freight depot in the
new yard at which all through freight
for Alexandria will be delivered, and
that from this city received.
