Debates Over Condemnation for New Depot in Columbia
The Columbia Board of Mayor and Aldermen adjourned after reviewing a commission report condemning property for a new railroad depot. Commissioners awarded damages to several property owners and suggested moving a northward street to protect a Callendar warehouse, potentially saving city funds. Ordinances followed on street openings, sewer timing, and funding the railroad project, with some Aldermen voting against, and the board adjourned to June.
