Work on the new-building will probably begin May 1. The block signal building, in the west yards of the Monon, has been moved to the site it will occupy as a freight depot when the old one is moved from the present location. Track construction is in progress for the new freight handling location, a gang of 20 men being employed most of the time.

Soon the old passenger station will be moved south in the little park to make room for the new building, and will continue in service until the new structure is ready for occupancy.
