The Rio Grande and Coast Asso
ciation, an agency for the handling
of garden truck for its members,

Association, the latter organization
having discontinued this branch of
its work.
The shed will be erected just to
the rear of the express office, and
will be of frame construction. A
platform will be built to the main
track so that the stuff can be handled
direct from the shed into the express
cars.

here last week and arranged with
Assistant General Manager Wm.
Doherty of the Gulf Coast Line for
the construction of the shed.
