PROSPECTS GOOD
FOR UNION DEPOT
UNDERSTOOD THAT RAILWAY
COMPANY HAS MADE PROPO.
SlTlON TO CLOSE STREET.

Business on Broadway is picking
up remarked one large property
holder yesterday, while discussing
the hotel proposition and the pro-
posed Hudson Houston building. In
the course of his conversation he
stated that he had been reliably
informed that the Santa Fe Railway
company was ready to begin work
on new Union depot at the foot
of Broadway if the city would grant
but one concession. This, he said,
was that the city close that part of
Broadway from the east side of the
railroad to its terminus This part
of Broadway is merely on the map
and consists OF a ravine that never
has been and in all probability never
will be used However, the railway
company wants it closed so that
some future generation cannot come
forward after the station is built
and open the street, which would
run through the depot.
1t is understood that the city is
willing to grant this concession,
and that the city attorney has all
the necessary papers and ordinances
drawn to close this street, and let
it revert back to the abutting prop
erty owners.
When this is done, the railroad
company is ready to build an ade-
quate depot, such as required for
the needs of the growing city.
