they were unable to grant him as

They decided. however, to place his
taxation at a very low rate, and to
furnish the hotel light and water at
cost for the period specified. They
stated also that like concessions
would be granted by them to any
other hotel of like size which would
use a similar amount Of light and
water. As the concessions allowed
by the Council were very reasonable
and liberal, Mr.. Carter may decide to
accept them.

TAMPA'S NEW STATION
NEARLY COMPLETED

Unless some unforeseen circum-
stance occurs the new Union depot Oh
the Tampa Union Station Co. will be
turned over by the builders and other
constructors on scheduled time, April
IL. and be ready for business All
there Is left yet to do is to complete
the concrete walks under the train
sheds, some carpenter work In the
building, minor jobs of decorating,
the installation of lights, the raising
of the tracks to grade and a genera.
cleaning up of the entire operation.
These. with the exception of the con-
crete work. are considered to be min
or operations and easily of accom-
plishment within the remaining elev-
en- days.
The new Union depot Is going TO
present a fine appearance. Enough
of the work is complete to give an
excellent idea as to how 1t will look
There are three umbrella train sheds
under which passengers can walk
without being exposed to weather
conditions. These are considered to
be better than the newer sheds known
as the butterfly" sheds, although not
as ornamental in design. 1t is ar
pued that with the butterfly sheds the
rain can blow in between the ears
and the shed, while with the umbrella
sheds this is impossible. the caves OF
the shed coming we'll below the tops
of the cars. To prevent dripping gut
ters have been placed all along THESE
caves which are drained from the
center or supporting posts. These
sheds cover completely the cement
walks from the depot proper.
In the main waiting room there IS
an ornamental partition between the
mart to be used for white people and
that for negroes. At one end OF this
partition is the ticket office and at
the other the news and book stand
