Let's GetJo Work. , " The report of the State -Corpora tion Commission shows where oth^r* towns iu North Carolina have been ?granted ? union passenger -stations, and the, coat ranges from $76,000 down to 98,000. As yet there hu been no move made by the Washing ton people for a union station. It Is certainly badly needed, and It the proper -argument was presented to 1 the Commission, The News does not would be readily granted. Washing ton has three roads, with the chances good for another, and there Is no reason under the sun why these roads should not all enter one dep.ot.; The town la large enough, has the suffi cient number of 7 roads, and all that remains is just a little energy dis played on the part of the cozens. The Corporation Commission has drily recently orflerad^ one for the town of New Bern.
