Mr.. F. ]. Heintz, as chairman OF
the committee appointed to take up
with the New Orleans Great North
ern Railroad officials, the matter of
the erection of new depot, reported
on the matter as follows:
That the railroad would repair the
present depot, by putting in sanitary
toilets, changing the colored wait
ing room so that the patrons wishing
to send express matter or kilograms
would not be compelled to go into
the c0lored waiting room to do so;
and to repaint the present structure
inside and out; or that IL the town
would donate the strip of land be-
yond Lockwood street that they
would move the present depot to
that location and make the repairs,
as above stated.
After considerable discussion this
proposition was declined and the
committee instructed to make a
counter proposition that II the strip
of land referred to was donated that
the railroad company should erect
thereon q modern brick depot, and
in the event that the railroad COM
pany would not consider this plan
kthat the committee seek relief
through the Railroad Commission.
