WAREHOUSE COMMISSION HERE Is Hearing Testimony This Afternoon But Will Decide The Case Later. X o P & SISO CLUB COMMITTEE WORKING 1Is To Prepare Figures on Cost of Im- © proving All Roads Leading to Bemiidji. Asking for one unioi depot of the Great Northern, Soo and Interna- tional roads, or one depot for each of the roads, if a union depot is mot advisable, merchants and residents of Nymore this afternoon are plead- ing their case before the state rail- road and warehouse commission. The Nymore people say that as there is no depot at Nymore, they have to haul all of their freight from Bemidji, that the road between Be- midji and Nymore is in such condi- tion that the loads have to be small, and that passengers in and out of Nymore have to go through Bemidji whereas all roads pass through Ny- more. ' The railroads point to the ex- pense of maintaining two depots, that many in Bemidji are as far from the depot as the people of Nymore and that the two stations would be too close to:allow economical ser- vice, 3 Judge Mills, chairman, Judge Sta- ples and Charles E. Elmquist of Rush City, compose the commission, and started hearing testimony at 1 p. m. They are accompanied by G. G. Grant, an expert stenographer. For the Soo line, George M. Huss is in the city. Mr. Huss is the engineer who built the Soo road from Moose Lake to Plummer through Bemidji two years ago. W. H. Gemmel is here for the Minnesota and Interna- tional road. No decision will be made by the railroad and warechouse commission this afternoon. The commission will return to St. Paul and there consid- er carefully the evidence presented at Nymore. If in its opinion the peo~ ple of Nymore are entitled to oné or three depots, the commission will so order and the railroads will have to build. If it decides adversely, Ny- more residents will continue to use the Bemidji depots. At the last meeting of the Com- mercial club, the committee on high- ways was instructed to cbtain figures on the cost of improving the Nymore road by making a sand, macédam or paved street of it. These figures are to be presented to the ecity council at its next meeting and the commit- tee will urge that the city take action at once to improve this driveway. The committee is also obtaining fig- ures on the cost of improving all oth- er roads leading into Bemidji. A full report of the Nymore hear- ing will appear in the Pioneer tomor- row night.
