City Has Visions of Union Depot
| The railroad and warehouse commits
sion has decided that it has no power
to compel railroads to combine for the
purpose of building union stations. 1t
maintains, however, that 1t has author
| ity to order proper passenger station
facilities. Although refusing to order
the erection of new union depot, the
commission will order each road, with
the exception of the c. P. & st. L., to
file plans and specifications for new
passenger stations with the commits
sion by Jan. /. 1t is believed this will
result in the erection of a new union
depot. The commission finds that the
station is badly needed and advises the
roads to build it.
