improvements at Railway Station
Needed

The need OF certain improvements
at the Union railway station in Lex
ington is felt by the travelling pub
lie, and if the matter should be pre-
sented to the railway authorities in
the light of public need, the situs-
ton might be improved.
For some reason the matter Of
providing separate waiting rooms
for white and colOred patrons has
never been done in Lexington, al
though the law requires that such
provision be made.
This situation could be overcome
by the addition to the depot of sew
eral rooms at the north end of the
building, which would provide for
two waiting rooms for whites and
the mems room could be used for
colored. Additional baggage room
is needed at the north end of the
building, so as TO avoid the incon-
venience to passengers OF handling
the baggage on the same platform.
The platform could be heightened
and widened so as to provide ample
room for the traffic without obstruct-
ing the passage of patrons.
1t is understood that the railway
management has had their atter-
ton called to the situation and that
engineers may be expected here to
look into the matter.
A solution OF the difficulty exist
ing relative to the baggage being in
the way of passengers would be to
construct Y at some point west OF
the depot. This would also obviate
backing trains into Lexington.
