Illinois Central Plans for Monroe Station and Bridge
J. M. Chandler newly appointed superintendent of the Illinois Central Vicksburg division arrives in Monroe with M. B. Morgan and F. R. Mays. He says the old Monroe passenger station will be dismantled this year after the new Five Points station is ready, and the Mississippi River bridge will be completed by year end. Motor traffic should rise as Monroe and Vicksburg gain a southern gateway, with new tracks costing about 564000 in Vicksburg Delta Point preparations. The party proceeds to Shreveport for further inspection.
