Plea for Entirely New Pas
senger Depot.
HEARING ON MONDAY

Unanimous were the committees
representing the"city council, Young
Mems Progressive Business league
and the Chamber of Commerce at a
meeting yesterday afternoon, to ask
the railroad commission of Arkansas
to have the old union station in this
city replaced by a new, modern and
strictly up-to-date depot.
The request for the new station
will be presented to the railroad com
mission at a meeting in this city
Monday morning at 1920 o'clock
which will be held in the assembly
hall of the Chamber of Commerce.
The committees have agreed to
consent to nothing other than a new
station, and Secretary f.. B. Bloom
has been leading the fight for better
depot facilities, said that this can be
secured if the citizens will turn out
for the meeting and allow themselves
to be heard before the commission.
At a recent meeting of the city
council steps were taken to compel
the Iron Mountain to park West
Fourth avenue and make certain
other improvements. 1t is alleged by
the city that the railroad has not
fulfilled its contract and unless it
complies the city will seek to have
the franchise forfeited. The city at
torney has already been instructed by
the council to take any legal steps
necessary toward the fulfillment of
the contract by the railroad.

space in the Iron Mountain depot and
both companies equally share the ex
penses of maintaining the depot. If
a new station is built the Cotton Belt
will be forced to bear half the eX-
penses, if it continues to occupy
quarters with the company 1t is
said, however,, that the Cotton Belt
will agree 10 pay its share and bear
half the expense of any kind of sta
ton that will be erected by the Iron
Mountain.
