Talk of New Depot at Monon Revived

The Lafayette Journal says that the prospects for a new passenger depot at Monon this year are very bright; that it will be the next improvement of this kind on the Monon road after the bu::ding of the One at Pekin, on the main line between New Albany and Salem. The new depot will be located on the site of the old one<, says the Journal, and the freight depot will be moved to more commodious grounds further " Cst in the yards, which will permit the removal of all tracks near the depot except the main line. This will leave a clear expanse up town and will admit a 12-foot cement walk from the hew depot along the north side of the track to Market street with a driveway. Such improvement has long been needed and will be greatly appreciated by the traveling public as well as the people of Monon.
