No Train Shad for Albany.

mission this afternoon decided the Al
bany and Valdosta depot oases, and
while these cities are not given all they

dered to make somo substantial im
provements.
Valdosta wanted a onion depot and
•thought if the commiasiea would order
both roads to build new depots, they
would consolidate. The commission,
'however, lias (hrdered the Georgia
Southern and Florida to 'build a new
■station there at once, While It considers
'that of the Atlantic Ooast Line adequate
for the present and makes no require
ment in ite case.
Tho people «f Albany have been
oring for a train shed and other'
provements at their-station. The
mission has refilled to order the
to build a train shed'therb, bnt requires
them either to raise the station platform
or lower their trucks so as to lessen the
danger to life, und to i prevent the T»ln
water from running into the waiting
room.
Other Improvements ordered at (he
Albany depot include better sanitary
arrangements and a-sufficient number
of are fights to give the necessary il
lumination at night. { ‘
