Crowds Too Big for Union Depot Just Now Christmas Traffic Overflows Station and Emphasizes Need of Those Enlargements. “The holiday rush certainly spells havoo at the Unfon station,” says an officlal of the Union Pacific rallroad. “There are 2 per cent more peopls traveling through Omiaha today than there were a year ago, It is almost impossible to handle the crowds at the depot and' there is continual congestion.” The heavy amount of passenger traffic through Omaha 'at 'this time greatly strengthéns the agitation for improvements in Union station. Friday and Saturday nights, ail day Bunday and even Monday imorning the depot was thronged with peo- ple waiting over for trains. “Even the trains are hard to handle,” contiriued the rallroad man. “With seven tracks in the terminals and the heavy char- acter of the traffic, the trains cannot be londed and unloaded in quick time and there {4 continual congestion on the tracks. Inbound tralns have to halt outside the | sheds to allow the trains in the depot time w It off passengers,” A plan to apeud $500,000 in improvements at Union station has been submitted to tho management of the elght rallroads ueing the Unlon Pacific terminal. Three of the ¢ight roads have failed as yet to tile their replies to the proposition. It will take & two-thirds vote of the eight roads to ratity the plans and If this is done work of the Temodeling the station, bullding more trainsheds and otherwise adding to thé convenience and comfort of the traveling public will be authorized.
