 June 3, 1911. 'tTo the Honorable Railroad Commission of Alabama, Montgomery, Ala: l "Gentlemen-Since your recent visit to Bessemer our committee has carefully canvassed the business men of the city and they find that the feeling and senti- nent of the people is absolutely unani- j-mous in the belief that Bessemer should have a union passenger depot "It Is pointed out all sides that the traffic demands it. the size of the town justifles it, and the opportunity of secur- ing suitable site at the exact point where the several railroads converge within few blocks of the heart of the city presents itself to us now, and it is extremely doubtful if this location could be secured few years hence.
 This organization, representing in it's membership practically the entire busi- ness interests of Bessemer, by resolutions passed at the directors meeting held last night, now write to you to emphasize again that the wishes of the people of Bessemer and the Bessemer district is for a union depot and to request that care full review of the papers bearing on this question, now on file with the commits sions be made at your first meeting in Montgomery.
 Tn order to more fully lay before the officials of the several railroads the cry ing need of Bessemer for a union depot, letters are being addressed to the several presidents of the roads, copy of the first sent to President Finley this morning, we iEclose herewith. Others will follow. Re- spectfully submitted.
