Bears the ■ The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature V, cf GA., FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 16. 1900. PUSS SUBMITTED. A NEW ANx COMMODIOUS „„uu n wnma BUILD- uttitti ING TO BE EBEOTED. G. 8. * F. Ry., Hus llrawii the Plans And Presented Them to the G. A. Authorities. A new union depot. Will probably cost $5,000. Plans drawn and submitted. It all rests with the G. ifc A. Railway authorities. Are our fondest hopes to be re alized? Such are the expressions we’ve heard for the past several days from our citizens, and railroad men. These expressions caused a Sentinel reporter to investigate and find out as near as possible the exact status of affairs. In an interview with the civil engineer Mr. J. J. Gaillard, of the G. S. – F. railroad, he informed us that his road had drawn up plans a*nd specifications and that they have been submitted to the Georgia – Alabama authorities for consideration and adoptiou several weeks ago. He did not know what the com munication between the two roads had been, but knew that the matter now was entirely with the G. – A. people . As to how soon they would act in the matter he had no idea. Mr. Gaillard said that the building would likely be two hundred and ten feet long down each main line, It will most likely be built of wood, and only one story in heighth. He said while it would cost his road a good deal more than the G. – A., yet they realized the necessity of better accommodations than were now afforded and were per fectly willing to make the expend iture. * * We speak for Cordele and the traveling public when we soy we appreciate the efforts of the G. S. – F. to give us the needed ac> commodatious, and it is sincerely hoped that the authorities of the Georgia – Alabama will in turn be considerate of our needs in this line, and act favorably at once upon the plans already sub mitted. It seems now that it all hinges on th® decision of the G. – A. people, and we think it would not be improper or out of order for the Board of Trade to appoint a com mittee from its body as well as a committee of citizens at large, to urge the G. – A people to prompt and favorable action in this all important matter. Break the ice gentlemen, aud start out on your journey and ac complish the end to which we all are anxiously waiting. NOTICE OF ELECTION.
