IN \ TERRIBLE CONDITION.
Passengers Complain of the Condi-
ton of Yard at Station.

THE condition is one to be deplor-
ed It's a shame to put up with
such cOnditions,' were two express
siOns heard from persons as they were
getting on trains at the Atlantic Coast
Line passenger station Friday morn
ing. The condition referred to is in
deed one to be deplored and one
which should not be put up with.
The ground all around the station is
muddy and little puddles of water
and mud are formed inside and out
side the gate. Along the tracks and
between the shed and the tracks
"slush" is the only word which will
describe the condition Of the ground
in the passenger station yard. In the
rear of the station tn. conditions are
just as bad, if not worse and are an
eye-sOre, although they do not call
for such caustic comment from pas
sengers as there is not the necessity
of wading through this slush.
II Is understood that the officials at
the station have repeatedly made re-
ports of these conditions to higher
officials Of the road, but as far as is
known no notice has been taken Of
these reports and requests for i'm
provements, at least no action with
this end in view has been noticeable.
Board or concrete walks throughout
the yard are badly needed, and should
be installed. At least the road would
gain the popular favor of the travel
ing public, if it should make the
needed changes, instead of losing it
allowing present conditions to prevail
