While some of the material for the
new Grand Trunk depot has arrived in
the city it is very doubtful whether any
work on that building or the new
freight sheds and yard tracks will be
commenced before next spring. The
men who are to do the construction
work are still engaged on the new
buildings in Lansing, and it will take
them month or more to complete the
work there, making it very late to un-
dertake any work here. IL looks very
much as though the. old depot will have
20 do service for another winter.
