Mr. Lord and Mr. Hnrlbttrt called . to see me in regard to thin matter a day or two ago and I explained the sitcatioii to them. It ia not POMHible for u to olnce the station at the intersection of Third Street on account of the break in the erade iiiHt south of this street. Yon understand that it is necessary for uh to nave station tracks on level ground and a little room on the level ground beyond the station. We expect, however, to be able to locate it not further north than Second Street. 1 had hoped to visit 'your city again before this time, but will not now be able to do so until after the holidays.
