Mr.. Editor and readers.
l have spent the N st OF this after
noon looking thru the new Terminal
station that is nearly completed here
in Dallas. 1t is modern in every re-
spect. The building is soon to be finish
ed. The light and water plant is al
most done, and they are now installing
the machinery and inside furnishings.
1t is built of white enamel brick and
presents a very pleasing and attractive
appearance. l do not think they have
set the appointment for the opening TO
the public yet, but suppose 1t will not
be later than July. 1t is beauty in
appearance and everything for the ac-
comodation for the traveller and public
will be there. 1t will cost about three
fourths of a million dollars. They are
preparing to bring all trains and inter-
urbins in over or under street. crossing,
safety first plan to eliminate danger.
Other improvements relating to and
near the station. The county and city
are building a concrete viaduct to reach
west of Dallas an outlet to the western
part of the county, also the lnterurban
Traction companies are building
bridge to come over the railroad track
and streets. Another safety first plan,
little farther down the river the
county and city are building another
bridge to accommodate its southern inter
ence That will give the county peo-
Pile six places, on the south, west, north
west, to come in over the Trinity to the
city. 1t is not like Chattanooga with
ten miles frontage on the great Tenn
essee river and one bridge to cross on.
The Trinity is little smaller than the
Tennessee but our bridges are as long
as the one across the Tennessee. When
Texas people want any thing, they want
enough to accommodate the public and
they go get 1T regardless OF eXpence,
the same way about school buildings.
Dallas has more and better school
buildings than any city OF near the
same size in the South.
In only few more years, Texas will
be noted for it's good roads. Tarent
county is a little a head of us but we are
coming. Tarent county has several of
its cardinal roads out of Ft WORTH, as
one can make from 40 to so mile an
hour in little old Ford and hardly feel
a jolt Enough about FtWorth that j.
A. will have to buy larger hat II say
much more, but if T. S. b. and j. A.
l.. get lonesome they come to Dallas.
Well, j. g., of Eastland, it begins to
look little like l was not SO wrong
in my prediction that Mexico would be
the door that would let the U. s. into
the European war. They have now
discovered that Germany is the cause
of the present unpleasantness in Next
CO. 1t is coming, u. g., when the
great United States assume the right to
keep the flies of all other countries.
They might have known they would
light here when we have no fan to shoe
them away with and we will have to
wait until the end to see the results.
It's safer and more sensible to hope for
adjustments than foresee what the re-
suits would he if the u s. get tangle
up in the war, but if we do not get into
it, we can say that we were lucky, and
not credit it to statesmanship,a as Bob
Taylor said to ALT there in Jasper
when ALT was speaking on the Blair
bill "Hold up! move the back band
back You are running too deep" |
guess had better move the back band
back.
Best wishes to the editor and the
many readers of the good old News
Lone Star.
