SELMA FIRED BY HOPE
OF NEW RAIL SATI0N
Surveyors Go Over Situation-S200,-
900 Edifice Sought

SELMA, Ala, May Especial
Leased Wire. l~-Even the bare pos
sibility that the Southern railway
might build in Selma some structure
suitable for a depot and probably an
even larger building where may be
gathered under one roof the various
units of the Southern in this city
has caused hope eternal to spring
forth in the breasts of Selmians who
for years have fought long fight
for new depot.
Recent reports that Selma was to
receive handsome depot at a cost
of 100000 was given impetus by
the fact that surveyors were present
from Washington and the location
carefully zone over. Late reports
were current that the Southern only
contemplated remodeling the present
building. 1t was learned Saturday,
however, tk,t there is some proba-
bility of Selma getting centraliza-
ton building. No official word has
been received on the subject. 1t is
thought that because of strenuous
efforts on the part of other Alaba ma
towns to have the Southern dupli-
cate the proposed new depot at those
places, decision might have been
reached to delay the project for the
time being.
