HAMMOND’S NEW DEPOT.

Slowly but surely the plans for the new Monon depot in Hammond are maturing. Engineer A. S. Kent was in the city a few days ago and made arrangements for the construe tion of a temporary freight office. It is expected that the Monon hotel will be used for a ticket office and waiting room. Within a few weeks, to be conservative, it is expected that the work of i emoving the old depot and making the excavations for the new one will begin. The new depot will probably be constructed and ready for occupancy before winter. So many announcements have been made that the work on the new depot is about to commence that the people have become skeptical, but Captain Downing, the genial agent, has an abiding faitb that the new" depot will be ready before winter.—Hammond Times.
