Railway officials to confer on new depot plans soon
Community Club members learned via word at 2 pm that railway officials will meet tomorrow at 8 pm to discuss possible changes in passenger station accommodations in Washington. Reports from railway and business circles hint at a forthcoming proposal, with Rock Island and Burlington lines also under consideration. The conference was postponed recently due to an executive being called away, and locals await a concrete plan likely to affect the Milwaukee junction and station arrangements.
