Buena Vista Wants Better Rail
road Depot Service

GaSene Co,1esbOndence
Dec. 23.-The agitation of the
question of better depot service on
the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
resulted in meeting being held
here on Saturday, Dec. 14th, at
which were Superintendent j. a..
Carlisle of the Chesapeake and Ohio
and few citizens Of Buena Vista.
The question discussed was the
feasibility of using the handsome
and commodious Norfolk and West
ern depot by the Chesapeake and
Ohio as union depot.
Mr.. w. G. Tyler, secretary of
the Buena Vista Board of Trade,
had communication from Mr.. N.
ID. Mahen of Roanoke. End vice.
president and general manager Of
the Norfolk and Western, in which
he stated that the Chesapeake and
Ohio would be allowed to use the
Norfolk and Western depot under
the usual arrangements adopted
by roads under similar conditions.
Superintendent Carlisle. however,
thought that the expense in max
ing the change and of bearing
their part for maintaining the I'M
ion depot would be too great to
justify the expenditure. The nec-
essary cost of installing switch
board above the DEPOT would be
about $4,000 besides maintaining
watch house at the junction end
keeping several men at Loeb Laird.
For the present the old d pot will
have to be used. Mr.. Carlisle
promised certain improvements,
however.
