Depot debate shifts to railroads over new depot
The depot commission met in the governor's office to review the new depot proposal. Governor Candler, as ex officio chairman, authorized letters to railroads seeking assent and copies of the bill. A permanent secretary was not elected yet, awaiting railroad responses. Senator Holder serves as temporary secretary. The Pryor Street owners' protest against closing the street for the passenger station was not resolved.
