Good News—Dearborn Street Station to Be Modernized.

Some definite plans are being made either to enlarge the present Dearborn station at Chicago or to build a new station. It is now a terminal for the Monon, the Wabash, the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroads and a half dozen other roads. The present facilities of the station are very crowded. The Chicago and Western Indiana company, which owns the Dearborn station, has for several years held title for the block from Polk to Taylor street, between Plymouth court and State street. As there has been no connecting link between the present station property and the acquired ground the city council will be asked to pass an ordinance to.authorize such construction -and the razing of the present structure.
