Tilti NOUKOUv NK\\S : Mil DAY IWUHUAHY tt. 11106. UNION PACIFIC WILL TALK WITH NORTHWESTERN. LETTER FROM VICE PRESIDENT Secretary Mathewson Has Received a Letter From Vice President Mohler of the Union Pacific , Stating That He Will Act on Union Station. There Is a possibility thnt the con templated station of the Northwestern will ha u union Htutlon according to iv letter Just received by Secretary Mnthowson of the Commercial club. Vice President and General Manager Mohlcr of the Union Pacific has writ ten him to the effect that ho will take up the matter of such a station with the Northwestern authorities. To date this Is the most encouraging no tice that has been given to the desire of Norfolk and It is reasonable to be lieve that careful consideration by the Union Pacific and Northwestern au thorities would make the now station sv union station. It is quite probable that such may be the case now that both roads have had the possibilities of such a scheme brought forcibly be fore them. Some time since Secretary Mathew son wrote General Manager Mohlerof the Union Pacific detailing the lack of depot facilities for the Northwestern in Norfolk and the unsatisfactory con ditlons of the Union Pacific station. At the same time he offered the help and goodwill of the city In any fair way toward making It possible for the building of a union station. It was In answer to this letter that word was received announcing the Intention of the Union Pacific authorities to take up the matter with the Nortbwestern. The M. & O. need not be worried over as a block in the matter for they will undoubtedly come Into a union station if the other two roads go in. In reality this road Is part of the Northwestern system and , as such , will follow with the Union Pacific If the old Union Pacific station is aban doned. MONDAY MENTION.
