Yesterday a reporter was shown the plans for the new South shore depot at St. Ignace in Superintendent Jarvis's office. The depot will be built on a dock by the side of the new slip dock and will be directly in front of the new Bay View House. It will have a double floor filled with sand [*and] the walls will be of extra thickness to give warmth. The two waiting rooms will be each 20 x 20, the baggage room 15 x 15, and the telegraph and ticket office a little larger, while a large lunch counter will be provided for. It will be a structure of what the Saints will be proud. The road is now receiving bids for the construction of the dock on which the depot will stand and also for the erection of the building.
