Names for Union Station Settees.

The Commissioners do not favor the
proposition made to them by Alfred Shaw

ing the settees is q matter Of convenience

used In the Boston union station. The Com
missioners say the idea is not a bad one.
bu such a method would-pot be practi-

tons Of d. H. Durham, architect OF the
union station, to whom the matter was re-
ferred for an opinion, that the Commission
