onstrate that the yard room would not
be reduced at all. The amendments

to erect a station by the public service
commission that the station shall cost
not less than $25, 900, exclusive OF founda-
tion and platforms, that a unisn freight
station be built, that the same amount OF
yard room at the passenger station be
provided as under the public service com
