STATION INSPECTED.
Burlington Business Men Much Pleased
with What They Saw.

Despite the fact that large number
of Burlington business men are now
absent on vacations. while those who are
in town are kept closely confined because
Of the numerous absences In their clerical
force for the same ason, a representa-
tive gathering of one hundred men as
sembled at the Van Ness House shortly
before ten O'Clock Tuesday morning, for
the purpose OF inspecting the new union
station Under the leadership of Presi-
dent S. l. Platka of the burlington
Merchants association. the men pro-
ceeded to the station in a body, where
they were welcomed by ". shelton
Swallow, OF the Swallow company OF
New York, which firm is erecting the
building, A large American flag waved
its greeting at the entrance to the sta
ton grounds and the edince itself was
gaily bedecked and wore a holiday
air.
The assemblage first went out on the
bridge and looked over the track facilities
and the three thousand feet of protected
platform, where passengers may go to
and from the trains In perfect safety. All
were much impressed by these metro
politan facilities, and also by the splen-
did view, which may be obtained from
the bridge.
The stairways up to the second story
Of the station, where the offices will be
located We're ready for use, and the
gathering next assembled to this point,
Most Of the men also went up the
wooden stairways to the roof, where
there is a magnificent view of the lake
and mountains. Incidentally, very good
view OF the present station was had from
both the second story and the roof, and
good many comparisons We're drawn
between the old station and the new.
About 1915, the party having finished
their inspection of the upper part OF
the building went downstairs. where re-
freshments OF sandwiches and punch
provided through the kindness of Mr.
Swallow, awaited them These were
heartily enjoyed and. after some further
looking over the lower part of the struc
ture, most of the sightseers left abou
eleven o'clock, In addition to the bust
ness men, a large number of Burlington
people inspected the station during tn
entire day. All were most apprecativ
of Mr. Swallows courtesy In opening tn
station for inspection at this time. ant
were also loud in their praise of tn
