During the investigation proceed
Ing the preparation OF the report,
city Engineer Griggs interviewed
heads OF the various railroads en-
toring Tulsa. That no serious op-
position 10 the union station plan
was encountered is Indicated by the !
text OF tho report aud the fact that
II In prepared In detail
Your committee on tho proposed |
station has pretty thoroughly gone |
into the proposition for "A union sta |
ton for Tulsa,' the report reads. !
MIR. Griggs has personally inter /
viewed representative officials Of |
oach OF the four steam railroads In /
Nolved, primarily to feel them out as /
TO their attitude toward the propos!. /
Noh'
NO Tnnnciing N@sssary.
IT was very early agreed that IL
was highly Impractical to have
general plan for depression of ali
roads, also to elevate all roads, or TO
have combination OF elevation of
roads and depression OF streets.
Hence IL was the sense of the com
mittee that the four roads be carried
at nractically their present grades,
Hearing this latter decision In
mind II was simply matter OF elm. |
ination OF the various altes sug. |
gcsted. taking the ono which 'of- |
ferod the largest or longest track |
space with tho minimum purchase
OF additional property and hence /
making for the minimum total cost
Of the proposed Improvement.
"A close study Of tho operation OF |
the present siation---t'rlsco and |
Santo Feat Boston avenue. made
the committee feel that Il was out of |
tho question to make Il union sta
tion on this property without vast |
expenditure. Tho station has but |
recently undergone an expense OF |
over 100000 for rcmodellng and |
extension, yet the station is badly |
ovortaNed at this time In handling |
the passenger business OF the two !
roads.
