August K 1M3. 50 JEW SKORSUTI?!* We are publishing below a letter re ceived by Mr. L. P. Hicks the paat week from the Seaboard Railway of ficials which states that plans are be ing made tor the Button aad they ax ?l II early date. Let It be hoped they will. The public certainly are entitled to that much consideration Bat. If the Information glTrn ti*? times about two months ago is trae, they seem to be coin backwards with the wink rather than forward, aa at that ttme they had submitted plans ot the pro posed structure to the Chamber ot Commerce for their approval. The approval was siren aad it bow seema they are Just making plana. If the in formation we have ta trae we bofe the officials of the Seaboard win see the foolish inconsistency In their po sition and either begin some real ef forts or flatly refnse to consider the appeal ot their patrons In Franklin who are at their mercy. The letter follows: 1 ~ " Aug. 4th. ms. Mr. L. P. Hicks. Louis burg, N . C. Dear Sir: Your letter of August 1st In regard to station at I?uisburg. Plans are now being made for station and expect to commence build ing same at an early date. Yours rery truly. C- D. THORNTON*. Superintendent . The letter from Mr. Hicks to the Railroad officials reads: Aug. 1st. 1922. Mr. C. D. Thornton. Supt. S. A. L. Ry. Co.. Raleigh. N. C. Dear Sir; Since the fire, which last winter destroyed the Seaboard's warehouse here, the patrons ot this station have patiently endured their portion of hardship in the form of inconven ience. Naturally, the merchants bur den has been the heaviest in loss of time on account of the deplorable lack of facilities for delivery of merchan dise after arrival. There are only two doors for such delivery, tiiey open on an earth-eurtaced alley which is often farrowed and mrfde hard to get through in wet or frosty weather. One of these doors being oa t.e sec ond floor of the building' loading from it is done by means of a chut-?. Be ing only two (ioorK pnly two deitrer iee can be made at once. The drir u H uf taatcks or drays leave their ve hicles at t&eee doors, are required to go In pay transportation charges, search tor and load. At this time it is probable that half doaaa or more are waiting for space to do the same. This being a daily occurrence, in the aggregate, it amounts to considerable when such loss of time is laancially calculated. The citisens of this towa and vicinity have been watting aad watchful for months and now ihidi vision is blurred by persistently look ing into space. It is now the gener al opinion that the proper officials of yoar road are not aware of the con gested. unja stiftable and altogether ta excusable conditions which have imposed upon as in the past, aa oae of the subjects of this ? _ class, on sccoaat of this state ofc^af fairs. I make this a persoaal req? that you via it oar towa. that I i prove the argent need of early rattaf of the sit nation before the approach of tall marketing. Yours very respeetfulfcr. L. P. HICKS.
