DISTURBED
IF BROADWAY is OPENED, THE
PASSENGER STATION CANNOT
BE BUILT ON THE PROPOSED
SITE.

W. T.. MaXsOn, general superintend-
ent for the Santa Fe Railway com
pany of Galveston and James r. Cot
tingham, attorney for the same line
of road of Oklahoma City are here

Iof the board of city commissioners

land also of the other lines of road
there. Mr.. Cottingham stated that II
would be a matter of physical i'm
possibility for the Santa Fe TO put its
contemplated station improvements
within one block of land reaching Main
to Broadway. He also stated that pas
senger trains are longer than one
block. and If this street is opened 10
traffic it will require that passenger
trains be divided, as under the rapid
development in Ardmore these trains
must remain here now much longer
than formerly.
| Mr.. Maxson stated that he had al
ready begun the excavation work for
the new station but if the city is
going to require Broadway TO be open
ed II will result in stopping the work
now in progress and will require tho
Santa Fe to change Its entire plans

block and the Santa Fe will go to a
point where il will have more than one
block Of land for its use.
In discussing the matter further
Mr. MaXson said.
"The city commissioners have pass

OF which has always been to confine

International law and extended this
terrible war to the lives and proper
