MAYOR SUDDUTH'S STATEMENT
Regarding the Union Depot Muddle,
East Mississippi Times.

Editor East Mississippi Times.
Inasmuch as considerable has
been said and written relative to
the proposed Union Depot, please
permit me to give you a succinet
statement of what has been said
and done.
After the committee appointed
by the City Board and citizens
meeting had made its fight and
were waiting for the railroads to
reply, Mr.. Taylor, Vice President
and General Manager of the M. &
o. wired our secretary that he
would be glad to meet our commit
tee the following day. We met
him and went over the ground both
physical and argumentive. He
had with him his chief engineer,
MIR. Wood, and Mr.. Fox, chief
counsel for his road, and several
other employees. When we had
gone over all the ground and were
then near his private Car. Mr..
Taylor proposed instead of a union
depot, that his road would build
its independent depot on Main
at the overhead bridge. He said
the road would expend ten or
twelve thousand dollars in giving
us depot facilities there.
AT first that came near turning
the Leads of some Of your commit
tee as it seems to have turned the
heads of others; but we began to-
ask questions, The Chief Engin-
eer had shown us the proposed
plan OF the union depot grounds;
hence we asked if he had any plans.
of the proposed grounds and build
ing at the overhead bridge. He
said they had and showed it to us.
Now here is what they offered:
A frame building covered with
tarred paper, very much like the
depot at West Point. furnished by
this road, except the freight and
passenger depot was proposed to
be uuder the same roof, with o
sitting room IL K IA feet. When
the expenditure proposed was dis
cussed, we were given to under.
stand that it would cost ten or
twelve thousand dollars to grade,
fill in gullies, extend the track.
make graveled yards, concrete
walks and build the houes, all
told.
Seeing we would have little bet
ter facilities than we now have,
your committee advised Mr.. Taylor
that we would prefer the union
depot. Mr.. Taylor very promptly
and pleasantly advised us that Mr..
Park, Vice President and General
Manager of the l. e.. railroad had
wired him that his road was ready
to discuss ways and means for the
Union Depot, and that he. Mr..
Taylor, would reply at once that
his road was ready, and he then
and there assured us that we
should have the union depot if it
was in the power Of his road to
give it.
Thus we parted, and thus wa
have given you the true facts; and
the above will be born out by
every member of the committee
present, and others who were
there.
We are chasing no rainbow; and
are not willing to exchange our
birthright for mess of pottage;
but want to get out of the village
class, and give the travelling public
such advantages as they get in
cities of the South and of the North
and the East and the West.
P. g. SUDDUTH, Mayor.

tendent of the Mobile & Ohio Rail-
road, Company, Meridian, Miss
DEAR S1R:-Wish to give you
some estimate to show how much
nearer your new passenger and
freight depot wonld be to the busi-
ness part of town, the main part, if
these depots we're placed as desired
in my communication of February
Sd, 1918. These measurements
are mace in my own steps and not
claimed to he strictly accurate,
only all approximation. the design
being simply to give a general idea
of distances with the hope that it
may help some in properly and
justly SOLVING these depot ques-
tions, that the suggestions may
serve to put the Mobile & Ohio
railroad upon inquiry so as to get
at the true situation, the true facts
of the case. With this view. beg
to state, that from Mrs. Bur-
dette's boarding house corner, on
Main street leading to the business
part of the city, to the present
freight and passenger 1epod of
the Mobile & Ohio railroad, the
way you would have to travel, is
5o6 steps, my steps, counting 3
feet to step we have this distance
1888 feet approximately. From
Mrs. Burdette's boarding house
corner, ON Main street, the point
mentioned above to proposed loca.
ton of new passenger depot, inn
lnediately east OF the overhead
bridge, and fronting on south side
OF Main street is 314 steps or 942
feet approximately. The above
measurements places the new pas.
senger depot SIG feet nearer Main
street than the present freight and
passenger depot, 942 feet from
1853 feet leaving SIC feet. This
will place the new passenger depot
well OH to 3 blocks nearer Main
street, nearer the heart of the city,
than the freight and passenger
depot as now situated.
AS to the proposed location of
the new freight depot; From the
present freight and passen-
ger depot of the Mobile & Ohio
railroad TO the piece urged for the
location of the new freight depot
of the Mobile s. Ohio railroad
fronting Lampkin street is 25S
steps, or multiplied by 8 gives ia
feet. This measurement is made

and, passenger depot of the Mobile

point for the suggested location of
the new freight depot of the Mo-
bile & Ohio railroad TIA feet or
Z blocks plus TIA feet nearer ,he
business part of the town than is
tue present freight and passenger
depot of the Mobile s. Ohio rail-
road. The two new depots,
freight and passenger, located
as is contended they should
be, would place both much nearer

STORIES OF HARDSHIP
UNDER DISTRICT ORDER
Residents Unable to Hire
Teams to Contractors for
Public Work.
Efforts Made to Have Regulation
Modifed-Was Intended to
Prevent Favoritism.

Pathetic stories that have reached the
ears of District officials concerning hard
ships said to have been caused In a num-
Der Of instances by the adoption Of an
order prohibiting foremen in the surface
division from hiring teams owned by Dis
trict employees or relatives of employees
may result in the order being modified.
Engineer Commissioner Harding said
today that he intended to take up the
matter with Capt. Brooke. assistant en-
gmeer commissioner. upon whose motion
the ruling was approved, to see what plan
could be devised for enforcing the order
only in cases of fragrant favoritism.
Benefit to Contractors.
There Is no doubt that it worked out
not altogether as was intended by the
engineer department. Fully 10 per cent
Of the teams formerly employed by the
surface division have been laid of, while
those Of two local contractors largely
have filled the vacancies, 1t is claimed.
Protestants have appeared at the Dis
trict building by the score. One woman
who attempted to get an interview with
Col. Harding. this morning stated that
she had been a loser by the order for
the reason that she has brother-in-
law who is a laborer In the engineer de-
partment. She said her team. which has
been laid off, constituted her only means
Of support, and that she would be forced
to sell the horses unless she could soon
find work for them.
